#2 - But I'm A Nice Guy
Inspired by Emerald Fennell's revenge thriller Promising Young Woman, The Final Girls (https://www.thefinalgirls.co.uk/) present a mini-podcast dedicated to diving deep into the myriad of layers and themes of the film, written and directed by Emerald Fennell.
Writer/podcaster Jordan Crucchiola (https://twitter.com/JorCru) and The Final Girls co-founder Anna Bogutskaya (https://twitter.com/annabdemented) discuss what Promising Young Woman has to say about masculinity.
We discuss the nice guy trope, meta-casting rom-com actors into predatory roles, the rom-com within the revenge film, the legacy of Seth Cohen and Xander Harris, gentle coercion and more.
Be warned: this episode is SPOILERIFIC.
