The Final Girl Files

Taylor and Jemi are joined by their friend El to talk about RAVENOUS, a movie about a bunch of guys in the Old West who want nothing more than to do cannibalism on one another and maybe also have gay sex? Discussion topics include the definition of a soul-bond movie, Damon Albarn’s hootin’-tootin’ synth-and-banjo score, Taylor’s quest to become Twitter mutuals with Josh Stolberg, and the ideal rental price to pay for gay cannibalism.

It's the movie that sparked Jemi's love for the horror genre, Daniel Radcliffe's first big role after Harry Potter, and woefully under-appreciated by the critics... this week we could only be talking about THE WOMAN IN BLACK! Topics for discussion include differences between the film and its previous iterations, the Skittles Berries and Cream lad, what the Woman in Black does with all those kidnapped children, and incels on the Doombuggies dot com forums.

It's Taylor's week to pick the movie, so she goes deep into one of her favorite oldie horrors - Hammer Studios' second remake of a Universal Monsters property, HORROR OF DRACULA! She talks a lot in this episode. Be forewarned. Discussion points include the confusing nature of the characters' relationships to one another, Van Helsing and Dracula's homoeroticism, and the cinematic boogeyman of female pleasure.

Jemi came to New York to visit Taylor last weekend, so naturally the ladies did what the ladies do best - talk about a Saw movie together. Spoiler alert: We liked it a lot! Discussion topics include our tinfoil hat theory about this movie's origin, favorite traps, the movie's questionable ending, and our mysterious listener from the Netherlands.

We've got valid heterosexuals on the brain today, folks. This is a movie only marginally about ghosts - it is mostly about how much Ed and Lorraine Warren love each other, and Taylor and Jemi can't get enough of it. Discussion points include how terrifying that Annabelle doll looks, Taylor and Jemi's nickname for Patrick Wilson, and Lilli Taylor's horror redemption arc.

Taylor and Jemi work to stop the spread -- the spread of the zombie plague, that is, brought on by the bite of the Sumatran Rat Monkey. What, did you think we were talking about something else? Discussion points include this movie's gloriously gory practical effects, the unexpectedly wholesome romance, and an extended meditation on why exactly Lionel's monster-mother is sporting such an absolute dumptruck.

On the inaugural episode of The Final Girl Files, Jemi and Taylor chat about the first film in the long-running SAW franchise.
