  • Grindhouse Double Feature: Cherry from Planet Terror
    Apr 30 2025

    🌟 Final Girls Double Feature! 🌟

    First up: Planet Terror (2007)

    Cherry Darling might have started the night as a go-go dancer with a broken heart, but by the end of Planet Terror, she’s packing heat and leading the charge against a zombie outbreak. This week, we dive into Cherry’s wild, blood-soaked Final Girl arc, the sheer camp of Robert Rodriguez’s grindhouse vision, and how Rose McGowan’s performance—and later activism—turned fiction into something far more powerful. We explore how Planet Terror became part of McGowan’s real-life journey of reclaiming her power from Harvey Weinstein and how she emerged as one of the faces of the #MeToo movement.

    Spoiler Warning: Things get gory fast—Planet Terror spoilers ahead!

    If you’re digging Final Girls, a rating or review helps us keep the grindhouse vibes alive and well.

  • Cecilia from The Invisible Man (2020)
    Apr 23 2025

    You can’t fight what you can’t see, unless you’ve already survived the worst. In The Invisible Man (2020), Cecilia Kass escapes an abusive relationship… only to be haunted by a presence that no one else believes exists. This week, we dive into Cecilia’s chilling Final Girl journey, unpacking how the film turns gaslighting into a literal monster, explores the differences between seeing and unseeing, and puts control and autonomy back into the hands of its heroine. We also explore the film’s unflinching portrayal of domestic abuse, isolation, and disbelief—and how Cecilia’s transformation feels real and unsettling, even from behind the safety and comfort of the screen.

    Spoiler Warning: The truth is visible, especially when it comes to The Invisible Man. This episode contains spoilers. Listen at your own risk.

    If you’re into Final Girls, a quick rating or review helps more horror fans find the show and reminds the algorithm we do exist.
