Inspired by Emerald Fennell's revenge thriller Promising Young Woman, The Final Girls present a mini-podcast dedicated to diving deep into the myriad of layers and themes of the film, written and directed by Emerald Fennell.
First up, a mostly spoiler-free discussion about the film and why it strikes such a chord, and how it has ignited a widespread conversation. We discuss Carey Mulligan's performance and star persona, Cassie as the hero and the villain of her own story, grief as a corruption force, revenge films, the millenial aesthetic and the music.
Featuring writer/podcaster Jordan Crucchiola and The Independent's Chief Film Critic Clarisse Loughrey.
Promising Young Podcast is produced and presented by Anna Bogutskaya, film writer and co-founder of The Final Girls.
The first part of the discussion is SPOILER-FREE. The full spoilerific discussion begins from 1:24:35
