Sometimes healing means burning it all down. For our summer Solstice episode, we’re not going it alone. This is our very first episode with guests, and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome our friends Cory and Rossa from Broomsticks and Bloodshed to the pod! Together, we step into the sun-drenched nightmare of Midsommar (2019), where grief blooms into ritual and heartbreak transforms into something far more powerful.

We unpack Dani’s earthy catharsis, the film’s lush, unsettling symbolism, and how creepy cult aesthetics make Midsommar one of the most haunting (and unfinished) modern Final Girl arcs.

Jen starts Revenge (2017) as the sexy, sidelined girlfriend, only to rise reborn in blood as one of the most viscerally unhinged Final Girls of the last decade. This week, we delve into the Final Girl journey in Coralie Fargeat’s neon-drenched takedown of the male gaze, Jen’s brutal transformation from victim to avenger, and why this film is a must-watch for fans of rage, resilience, and very creative use of a beer can.

We’re talking trauma, body horror, and full-throttle survival in the desert—with enough symbolism and guts to keep your head spinning and your stomach clenched.

CONTENT NOTE: We discuss a scene of SA from the film.

SARAH'S BIRTHDAY EPISODE! New girl Sarah Bailey is giving peak 90s witchcore: plaid skirts, trauma, magical powers, and a deep desire to belong.

We explore Sarah’s natural witch power, her refusal to be manipulated, and how The Craft captured the messy magic of sisterhood, light and dark magic, and goth rebellion.

Undercover cop Judith Gray walks into a poorly planned illegal arms sting in Demonic Toys (1992) and ends up trapped in a possessed toy warehouse with a demon fetus, a satanic prophecy, and a bunch of pint-sized murder machines. This week, we salute the cheesy, bonkers brilliance of Demonic Toys and the sadly ineffective badassery of our Final Girl, who fights her way through it with a gun in one hand and a grudge in the other.

Spoiler Warning: This episode is crawling with Demonic Toys spoilers, demon babies, and cursed plushies. Proceed accordingly.

It’s all fun and games until the bodies start dropping. In Bodies Bodies Bodies (2022), Sophie and Bee walk into a hurricane party with secrets, tension, and trauma in their overnight bags and end up in a full-blown bloodbath. This week, we break down their Final Girl stories and the messy, brilliant satire of A24’s Gen Z slasher: weaponized buzzwords, emotional manipulation, cell phone lighting, and all.

Spoiler Warning: Someone turned the lights out and the Wi-Fi’s down, so listen at your own risk.

In Rosemary’s Baby (1968), Mia Farrow’s iconic Rosemary Woodhouse doesn’t scream, doesn’t slash, doesn’t run through the woods, but make no mistake: she’s a Final Girl. This week, we sink into the psychological horror of isolation, manipulation, and bodily autonomy as Rosemary endures the slow unraveling of her life, her sanity, and her very sense of self. We dig into the real vs. fake witchcraft and Satanism, and how Rosemary’s journey mirrors the real-world experience of so many women whose fears are dismissed until it’s far too late. And we gush over that cute pixie cut she gets halfway through the movie.

Spoiler Warning: This episode contains spoilers for Rosemary’s Baby and one very badass Satanic bassinet.

In M3GAN (2022), Gemma isn’t just a brilliant roboticist—she’s a cautionary tale wrapped in silicone and code, the villain and Final Girl of her own story. When she takes in her orphaned niece Cady, Gemma does what any emotionally unavailable tech genius might: she outsources parenting to an AI. This week, we break down Gemma’s evolution from career-obsessed creator to reluctant protector, her role in M3GAN’s rise, and how the film critiques both grief avoidance, certain styles of parenting, AI ethics, and the capitalistic obsession with innovation at any cost.

Spoiler Warning: This episode contains M3GAN spoilers—and maybe a firmware update you didn’t agree to.
