Haters and gentlefriends, welcome to That Final Girl Life. It’s your favourite final girl here, taking you through The Horrors and out the other side to find out what life is really like after the movie ends.
I can’t believe I need to say this, but apparently it’s a whole thing now: I am an actual real live human being, not an AI. I physically write all my scripts. I watch the movies at least twice before I do an episode on them. Any resources I use, like other people’s articles which I’ve found helpful, will be in the show notes.
In this episode we’ll be discussing the film my best friend called “demented and excellent,” prompting me to ask her to make sure that’s what appears on my gravestone. Its batshit, brutal and yet beloved final girl Nikki has been a popular request over the last couple of weeks, so here we go. Please be aware that there will be spoilers throughout the episode.
In this episode I’ll be talking about controlling relationships, sexual assault, rape within relationships, coercive control, borderline personality disorder, the patriarchy, secure mental institutions, violent murders, and of course, PTSD.
Ready? Duct tape the door closed and ignore the puddle on the carpet as we snuggle up very very close together to watch…
Obsession.
