About this listen
Just in time for the Halloween season, Grace and David take their intergenerational conversation to the next level with a deep dive on The Final Girl, the movie trope that was initiated by Boomers but that has expanded, morphed and grown more fascinating as explored by Millennial filmmakers.
In Part 1, we discuss the origins of the trope and use three classic Final Girl slasher films as the basis for our investigation. We hope you'll take our lead and look beyond the obvious choices for your Halloween entertainment this year and perhaps explore a couple lesser known options for fright night fun.
And be sure and come back in two weeks for Part 2 as we go deeper in discussion of imaginative directions The Final Girl has gone, where stereotypes from previous decades have been used to flip expectations and provide fun twists in newer movies.
Grace Todd and David Timberline are your tour guides through this ongoing investigation of cultural artifacts from our collective recent past with a unique intergenerational spin. We're convinced you'll have a great time listening to Convince Me I Care.
