Final Girl: The Perfection

In the latest episode of Final Girl, we take a deep dive into the scary, sexy psychological thriller The Perfection.

The title of the podcast, Final Girl, comes from the popular trope in television and film that refers to the “last woman standing” or sole survivor, typically in a slasher film.
