For anyone who finds the dark corners of cinema fascinating, The Final Girls: A Horror Film Podcast offers a uniquely insightful space. Hosted by film critic and author Anna Bogutskaya, this weekly podcast isn't just about listing scares.

The discussions go beyond surface-level analysis, offering context and criticism that challenges the traditional narratives of the genre. Tuning into this podcast means joining a thoughtful excavation of why horror resonates, who it has historically served, and the powerful women-both on-screen and behind the camera-who have shaped its legacy. It’s for those who believe the most terrifying stories often hold the most profound truths about our world.
