Episode description
Horror has long used the purity and goodness of the "final girl" trope to give us someone to cheer for. That idea has evolved so that women are represented as more than just screaming survivors, but warriors whose survival instincts drive them to fight against overwhelming odds. Jerry and Matt look at two prime examples of these badass women with Jen from Revenge, a 2017 French-made blood-soaked tale, and Grace from Ready or Not, an over-the-top horror comedy from 2019. Who runs the world? Girls!
