This week we talk about 2015's The Final Girls, starring Taissa Farmiga, and Malin Akerman. A horror comedy about a group of teens who get trapped in an 80s slasher flick and try to survive. For one girl, Max, it's especially hard to cope as one of the film's characters is played by her Mother, who passed recently. We dissect the film, talk about it's unique inspiration, and how this film tries to combine horror, and comedy, with a tale of loss and second chances. Join me once again as I dive deep into cinematic history and bring another overlooked film to the surface. Celluloid Fever Dreams, where the film you never heard of, might turn into your new favorite.
