ep329: What Happens Next for Final Girls - special guest Wolfe MacReady

We’re thrilled to have Wolfe MacReady return to the Video Monsters podcast for the final episode of Final February! Our Final Girl Finale, if you will. The topic of today’s episode is “What happens next?” We’ll be taking a look at the current trend of how slasher legacyquels bring back their final girls years later to see how they have coped with their trauma in the time since we last saw them (and, of course, bring them face to face with their tormentors once again). There is a hefty dose of discussion revolving around the latest TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE film on Netflix and how it handles (or, mishandles) many of the themes brought up in tonight's episode, so consider this your official spoiler warning. We will also discuss what we think the future holds for final girl tropes in general, and the ways we see them evolving over the next few years in order to stay relevant. So put your face on, grab the keys to your '70 Dodge Challenger, and meet us in the boiler room for the final showdown as we lay Final February to rest....for now!
