In Rosemary’s Baby (1968), Mia Farrow’s iconic Rosemary Woodhouse doesn’t scream, doesn’t slash, doesn’t run through the woods, but make no mistake: she’s a Final Girl. This week, we sink into the psychological horror of isolation, manipulation, and bodily autonomy as Rosemary endures the slow unraveling of her life, her sanity, and her very sense of self. We dig into the real vs. fake witchcraft and Satanism, and how Rosemary’s journey mirrors the real-world experience of so many women whose fears are dismissed until it’s far too late. And we gush over that cute pixie cut she gets halfway through the movie.

Spoiler Warning: This episode contains spoilers for Rosemary’s Baby and one very badass Satanic bassinet.

In M3GAN (2022), Gemma isn’t just a brilliant roboticist—she’s a cautionary tale wrapped in silicone and code, the villain and Final Girl of her own story. When she takes in her orphaned niece Cady, Gemma does what any emotionally unavailable tech genius might: she outsources parenting to an AI. This week, we break down Gemma’s evolution from career-obsessed creator to reluctant protector, her role in M3GAN’s rise, and how the film critiques both grief avoidance, certain styles of parenting, AI ethics, and the capitalistic obsession with innovation at any cost.

Spoiler Warning: This episode contains M3GAN spoilers—and maybe a firmware update you didn’t agree to.
