For our 50th episode special, we decided to bless all of you with what may very well be the Citizen Kane of the 21st century. Dracula has a flippy little ponytail, Kate Beckinsale wears skinny jeans even though it's supposed to be the mid-1800s, and nobody's accent is consistent or good. It's a miracle of cinema.

It's another one of those unedited new release reviews we sometimes do! This is only barely horror content. It's mostly us talking about the blorbos from our shows. But Sam Rami did kinda make a Marvel horror movie with this one, so we're sure you won't mind.

On this, our first foray into the world of giallo, we went with a slightly lesser-known choice. It's a gothic giallo where a couple of poorly dubbed sisters are running around their spooky old house being chased by a masked killer who's incredibly dedicated to the #aesthetic of the whole thing. Taylor and Jemi unpack the movie's choice to include bats on a string, the confusing amount of sisters, and the fact that most of the women in this movie are functionally interchangeable.

Taylor and Jemi dive deep into Rob Zombie's feature film debut, a movie which dares to ask the question "What if there was a family that was, just... really fucked up?" This episode is presented with apologies to Sheri Moon Zombie for repeatedly objectifying her, but in our defense, that's just the power that Baby Firefly has over gay women.

Taylor and Jemi are joined by their second sibling guest, Jemi's brother Jace, who brings to the table his favorite horror movie of all time. It's the movie we shamelessly ripped our podcast's tagline from, and it's arguably the very first slasher film, so of course we spent a good chunk of the runtime discussing unrelated tangents. But what else did you expect from The Final Girl Files? Serious film analysis? Psh. Yeah, right. You're here to hear us talk about Gunnar Hansen greening out on set and you know it.

Now, you might be asking yourself, "Why is this horror podcast discussing this definitely-not-a-horror-movie?" To that I insist you watch this particular adaptation of A Christmas Carol again, because holy shit is this thing as close to a horror movie as any adaptation of the Dickens novel has gotten. Seriously, just look at the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come or that weird shit Jacob Marley does with his jaw and try to argue that this isn't a horror movie. You can't. Also we just really wanted to talk about it, and to quote a pair of very funny drag queens, this is our show and not yours. We hope you enjoy it nonetheless.
We also did some actual film analysis this time around, imagine that! We did end up discussing BDSM at one point, though. Also Taylor went on a diatribe about how she thinks the Ghost of Christmas Present is a snack. So you still get your regularly scheduled chaos. Don't fret, dear listener.

Once again we are worshipping at the altar of the heterosexuals. This is first and foremost a fictional Ed and Lorraine Warren stan podcast, so keep that in mind before you listen to the two of us spend about 5 minutes tops discussing the content of the film and the actual horror elements and the rest of the time cooing over how cute our two leads are. They are the het ship to end all het ships, and that's final.

One thing you gotta know is that it’s still #HotWitchNovember, and to wrap up this most magical of months we present you with our discussion of 1977’s SUSPIRIA, a movie about insane dubbing, wolf dogs, and witches being bitches. Yes, Jemi went the entire episode talking about a school full of witches without bringing up WandaVision. We’re shocked too!

After a solid week of God trying to stop them from releasing this episode, Taylor and Jemi finally kick off Hot Witch November and talk about 2015’s THE WITCH. Taylor says fuck you to Jeff Bezos, Jemi is shocked at a hot take, the ladies debate the meaning of the film’s ending, and all of us spend a good chunk of time collectively fawning over Anya Taylor-Joy.

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Of course, we're talking about Halloween, and what better way to celebrate this most joyous of holidays than with what is most definitely our horniest episode yet? Seriously, neither of us know why this movie specifically brought out both of our inner monsterfucker. Our running theory is that it's the power of Halloween. We discuss our killer idea for an all-female reboot of this film, break down the bonkers and nonsensical plot threads, and audition to be Dracula's vampire brides. Happy Halloween, everybody!

In honor of HALLOWEEN KILLS hitting theaters this week, Taylor and Jemi dive into its predecessor: 2018’s HALLOWEEN. They discuss the inheritable nature of trauma, Laurie Strode’s character arc, and the importance of having annoying podcaster representation on the big screen. In addition they ask a question which has plagued humanity for ages: Do it stink?

It’s a short episode this week (pre-Halloween, you know how it is with horror fans) as Taylor and Jemi dive into last year’s incredibly underrated UNHINGED. Is Russell Crowe just playing himself from a decade ago? What is the proper term for car choreography? How exactly does one #GetChiltoned? Should Russell Crowe have played Mark Hoffman in the SAW movies? And what does Juicy Pat have to do with all of this?

Taylor’s sister Autumn is on this week to give the ladies a crash course in trashy Netflix horror as they discuss 2017’s CLINICAL, a movie so bonkers it occasionally renders all three hosts speechless. Is it okay to make fun of someone’s acting if they’ve done vehicular manslaughter? Should every therapist in this movie have their license taken away? Did the film’s antagonist plot to ruin a woman’s life just because he was in a silly goofy mood? How much of this movie even actually happened?
TRIGGER WARNING: The film discussed contains subject matter that may be triggering to some, including sexual abuse, suicide, and drug abuse. Listen at your own discretion.

Taylor and Jemi spend an hour ragging on Disney’s THE HAUNTED MANSION, a movie which fills them both with the kind of rage only two Disney Adults™ are capable of. Is Jim Evers the world’s worst husband and father? Why does the mansion look like a 90s point and click game? Where in the ride would our hosts put an animatronic Eddie Murphy? Does the plot of this movie actually kind of make sense? These questions and more will be explored on this week’s episode of THE FINAL GIRL FILES.
Also, at one point we mistakenly state that SHREK came out in 2004. It was released in 2001. Sorry to all the SHREK-heads out there for our grievous error.

Taylor and Jemi discuss THE INNOCENTS, a movie about a heroic governess trying desperately to save her charges from malevolent ghosts… or maybe about an insane governess who traumatizes her charges because she mistakenly believes them to be possessed. Either way, there’s a lot to dig into!
Discussion topics include forty year old virgins, an incredibly yucky kiss, the inexplicable presence of a tortoise, and sexy ghosts corrupting the youth. For added fun, take a shot every time one of our hosts says the word ‘ambiguous’.

Taylor and Jemi are joined by their friend Ria to discuss CRIMSON PEAK, a movie that all three are almost positive was made for them specifically. Discussion topics include the ways this movie plays with (and plays into) the genre of the gothic, Tom Hiddleston almost scoring the role of Pennywise, the movie’s horrible novelization, and the fact that all gothic heroines are women who peg.

Taylor and Jemi have finally reached their first film in the Good For Her Cinematic Universe, a movie which has had the internet in dire straits arguing amongst each other since it came out. Thankfully we have the only correct opinion about it. Discussion topics include blatant Hårga apologism, our collective love for Florence Pugh, sowing discord among the straights, and how thankful we as a society are that Ari Aster uses filmmaking as therapy.

Taylor and Jemi talk about one of Taylor's very favorite movies, a film where you know stuff's about to get weird when the bi lighting shows up, and that's only the beginning. Discussion topics include anti-dad propaganda, Stephen King Dialogue™, Adrienne Barbeau’s milf status, and the incredibly nasté special effects (we say ‘nasty’ a lot). Also, Taylor goes on a mildly unhinged rant about how more leading men in movies should be hairy, so enjoy that one.

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.
