The Not the Final Girl Podcast with Lauren-Marie Taylor
What happens when you get a role in a horror movie, eagerly search the pages of the script to see what your character is like and what scenes you are in only to find out you are not the "final girl?" You don't survive to be in the sequel. That happened to me a few times, most notably in Friday the 13th, Part 2 and Girls Nite Out. Those of us who were not the final girls in our films deserve our day of glory! Join us as we chat about what we could have done differently to change our fate. What about the guys who met with their unfortunate demise? They drop in along with the writers and directors in the horror genre who created us only to serve us with an early expiration date. As far as the final girls are concerned, tune in for their advice on how to outwit those wretched rogues. Wondering about the creepers responsible for sending us to an untimely dirt nap? They dare to join me and tell their side of the story. Thanks for giving The Not the Final Girl Podcast a listen. Keep your doors locked and stay out of the woods!
