The Final Girls: A Horror Film Podcast
TV & Film:Film History
Inspired by Emerald Fennell's revenge thriller Promising Young Woman, out in the UK on Sky Cinema TODAY, we present a mini-podcast dedicated to diving deep into the myriad of layers and themes of the film, written and directed by Emerald Fennell.
Writer/podcaster Jordan Crucchiola and The Final Girls co-founder Anna Bogutskaya discuss what Promising Young Woman has to say about masculinity.
We discuss the nice guy trope, meta-casting rom-com actors into predatory roles, the rom-com within the revenge film, the legacy of Seth Cohen and Xander Harris, gentle coercion and more.
Be warned: this episode is SPOILERIFIC.

TW: sexual assault, rape, suicide
