Skye from Smile 2

Skye from Smile 2

This week, we're analyzing the Final Girl journey of Skye from Smile 2 (2024), an overworked and lonely NYC pop star fighting multiple demons - but only one of them is supernatural! This is a very rewatchable movie in a franchise we hope will only get better and better. But how does her Final Girl story measure up? We changed our Patreon! We now only have ONE level for $5. Our Patreons get TWO extra podcast episodes per month. But don't think of it that way. Think of this as a tip, or like getting us a Diet Coke (for Sarah) or coffee (for Kellie). 💕 Find us at final-girls.com [http://final-girls.com] and check out our Patreon [https://www.patreon.com/cw/FinalGirlsThePodcast].

Asia from They Will Kill You

They Will Kill You (2026) is part Quentin Tarantino, part Sam Raimi, part Wes Anderson, and we're here for all of it. This week we’re continuing our month of listener requests with a VERY recent Final Girl -- Asia, a bona fide badass who has come to save her sister from a satanic cult in a creepy art deco hotel in NYC, only to discover they are a far more difficult villain to vanquish than she imagined. Spoilers ahead! PLEASE LEAVE US A RATING AND REVIEW! 💕 Find us at final-girls.com [http://final-girls.com] and check out our Patreon [https://www.patreon.com/cw/FinalGirlsThePodcast]!

Kirsty from Hellraiser

Who are we, you ask? Demons to some, angels to others 😈 This week, we’re analyzing Kirsty’s Final Girl credentials in one of the most iconic franchises in horrorstory, Hellraiser (1987). She’s the trifecta of Final Girl resourcefulness with a perfect blend of physical strength, intellectual capability, and emotional awareness. We just wish she had a lot more screen time in this one. Listen to (or watch) Sarah’s guest appearance on Getting Offed, [https://open.spotify.com/episode/6uEdIGw4M6ucNgPrtGpyjt?si=5f7946fa00e343f6]in which we talk about the Hellraiser theme song! Listen to Sarah and Kellie’s guest appearance last year on Blood in the Cornfields [https://open.spotify.com/episode/7z96Igyq9kEmNjgWHv3x2D?si=V6Hc0owUQmKXFsGyeQ0N2A], in which we discuss Kirsty in Hellraiser 1 and 2!

Beth from Evil Dead Rise

Come get some!!! This week we’re talking about Beth, the feral Final Girl from Evil Dead Rise (2023) and soon-to-be mom. Beth learns very quickly how to engage those mama bear instincts and protect her nieces and nephew from Deadites taking over the building, but how does she measure up to Ash’s legacy, or the legacy of her more recent predecessor, Mia? How is she with a chainsaw? Only you can decide, although we have some opinions if you wanna hear them. Happy Mother’s Day!

Jeryline from Demon Knight

Tales from the Crypt’s Demon Knight (1995) is one of the ZANIEST (see what we did there?) movies with a great Final Girl, and we love that about it. Jeryline is a gruff take-no-sh*t hotel employee on work release, played by Jada Pinkett in a very Ripley-esque performance. With practical effects and a wildly solid soundtrack, this is a don’t-miss movie that is guaranteed a good time.
