About this episode
To coincide with World Book Day, a bonus episode interview with the author of Plain Bad Heroines, Emily M. Danforth ( The Miseducation of Cameron Post ), out today in the UK! Flo and Clara, two impressionable students, are obsessed with each other and with a daring young writer named Mary MacLane, the author of a scandalous bestselling memoir. To show their devotion to Mary, the girls establish their own private club and call it the Plain Bad Heroine Society. Described by its author as " Picnic at Hanging Rock + The Blair Witch Project x lesbians". We discuss Emily's love of horror, the films that inspired this book, Mary MacLane, unrealiable narrators, the burden of likeability and so much more. This interview is totally SPOILER-FREE. Plain Bad Heroines is out now in the UK. *** The Final Girls are a UK-based film collective exploring the intersections of horror film and feminism.
