The Final Girl Files

After a solid week of God trying to stop them from releasing this episode, Taylor and Jemi finally kick off Hot Witch November and talk about 2015’s THE WITCH. Taylor says fuck you to Jeff Bezos, Jemi is shocked at a hot take, the ladies debate the meaning of the film’s ending, and all of us spend a good chunk of time collectively fawning over Anya Taylor-Joy.

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Of course, we're talking about Halloween, and what better way to celebrate this most joyous of holidays than with what is most definitely our horniest episode yet? Seriously, neither of us know why this movie specifically brought out both of our inner monsterfucker. Our running theory is that it's the power of Halloween. We discuss our killer idea for an a...

In honor of HALLOWEEN KILLS hitting theaters this week, Taylor and Jemi dive into its predecessor: 2018’s HALLOWEEN. They discuss the inheritable nature of trauma, Laurie Strode’s character arc, and the importance of having annoying podcaster representation on the big screen. In addition they ask a question which has plagued humanity for ages: Do it stink? Follow us on Twitter at http://twitter.co...

It’s a short episode this week (pre-Halloween, you know how it is with horror fans) as Taylor and Jemi dive into last year’s incredibly underrated UNHINGED. Is Russell Crowe just playing himself from a decade ago? What is the proper term for car choreography? How exactly does one #GetChiltoned? Should Russell Crowe have played Mark Hoffman in the SAW movies? And what does Juicy Pat have to do with...

Taylor’s sister Autumn is on this week to give the ladies a crash course in trashy Netflix horror as they discuss 2017’s CLINICAL, a movie so bonkers it occasionally renders all three hosts speechless. Is it okay to make fun of someone’s acting if they’ve done vehicular manslaughter? Should every therapist in this movie have their license taken away? Did the film’s antagonist plot to ruin a woman’...

Taylor and Jemi spend an hour ragging on Disney’s THE HAUNTED MANSION, a movie which fills them both with the kind of rage only two Disney Adults™ are capable of. Is Jim Evers the world’s worst husband and father? Why does the mansion look like a 90s point and click game? Where in the ride would our hosts put an animatronic Eddie Murphy? Does the plot of this movie actually kind of make sense? The...

Taylor and Jemi discuss THE INNOCENTS, a movie about a heroic governess trying desperately to save her charges from malevolent ghosts… or maybe about an insane governess who traumatizes her charges because she mistakenly believes them to be possessed. Either way, there’s a lot to dig into! Discussion topics include forty year old virgins, an incredibly yucky kiss, the inexplicable presence of a to...

Taylor and Jemi are joined by their friend Ria to discuss CRIMSON PEAK, a movie that all three are almost positive was made for them specifically. Discussion topics include the ways this movie plays with (and plays into) the genre of the gothic, Tom Hiddleston almost scoring the role of Pennywise, the movie’s horrible novelization, and the fact that all gothic heroines are women who peg. CONTENT W...

Taylor and Jemi have finally reached their first film in the Good For Her Cinematic Universe, a movie which has had the internet in dire straits arguing amongst each other since it came out. Thankfully we have the only correct opinion about it. Discussion topics include blatant Hårga apologism, our collective love for Florence Pugh, sowing discord among the straights, and how thankful we as a soci...

Taylor and Jemi talk about one of Taylor's very favorite movies, a film where you know stuff's about to get weird when the bi lighting shows up, and that's only the beginning. Discussion topics include anti-dad propaganda, Stephen King Dialogue™, Adrienne Barbeau’s milf status, and the incredibly nasté special effects (we say ‘nasty’ a lot). Also, Taylor goes on a mildly unhinged rant about how mo...

Taylor and Jemi are joined by their friend El to talk about RAVENOUS, a movie about a bunch of guys in the Old West who want nothing more than to do cannibalism on one another and maybe also have gay sex? Discussion topics include the definition of a soul-bond movie, Damon Albarn’s hootin’-tootin’ synth-and-banjo score, Taylor’s quest to become Twitter mutuals with Josh Stolberg, and the ideal ren...

It's the movie that sparked Jemi's love for the horror genre, Daniel Radcliffe's first big role after Harry Potter, and woefully under-appreciated by the critics... this week we could only be talking about THE WOMAN IN BLACK! Topics for discussion include differences between the film and its previous iterations, the Skittles Berries and Cream lad, what the Woman in Black does with all those kidnap...

It's Taylor's week to pick the movie, so she goes deep into one of her favorite oldie horrors - Hammer Studios' second remake of a Universal Monsters property, HORROR OF DRACULA! She talks a lot in this episode. Be forewarned. Discussion points include the confusing nature of the characters' relationships to one another, Van Helsing and Dracula's homoeroticism, and the cinematic boogeyman of femal...

Jemi came to New York to visit Taylor last weekend, so naturally the ladies did what the ladies do best - talk about a Saw movie together. Spoiler alert: We liked it a lot! Discussion topics include our tinfoil hat theory about this movie's origin, favorite traps, the movie's questionable ending, and our mysterious listener from the Netherlands.  Follow us at http://twitter.com/fgfpod! Intro...

We've got valid heterosexuals on the brain today, folks. This is a movie only marginally about ghosts - it is mostly about how much Ed and Lorraine Warren love each other, and Taylor and Jemi can't get enough of it. Discussion points include how terrifying that Annabelle doll looks, Taylor and Jemi's nickname for Patrick Wilson, and Lilli Taylor's horror redemption arc. Follow us at http://twitter...

Taylor and Jemi work to stop the spread -- the spread of the zombie plague, that is, brought on by the bite of the Sumatran Rat Monkey. What, did you think we were talking about something else? Discussion points include this movie's gloriously gory practical effects, the unexpectedly wholesome romance, and an extended meditation on why exactly Lionel's monster-mother is sporting such an absolute d...

What do you get when a slasher killer and a teenage girl switch bodies? Well, Taylor getting kinkshamed live on air for one thing! This week our hosts review Christopher Landon's FREAKY. Discussion points include hell houses, a surprising lack of homophobia, Monster Mini Golf (RIP), and Vince Vaughn's height.  Follow us at https://twitter.com/fgfpod. Intro music is "Hackers" by Karl Casey @ W...

On the inaugural episode of The Final Girl Files, Jemi and Taylor chat about the first film in the long-running SAW franchise. Discussion points include Cary Elwes' questionable American accent, an excruciating attempt to remember Danny Glover's name, and the inherent homoeroticism of being trapped in a bathroom together.
