In this episode, Jalapeno Jared inspires us to discuss the cabin in the woods trope as a metaphor for where dark secrets hide and betrayal beckons.
THIS EPISODE: CABINCORE W/ JALEPENO JARED (1 HR, 5 MINUTES)
It’s a very special episode of Not Your Final Girl, in which we must admit that sometimes cyber bullying does actually pay off. Cabins: Are they worth all the murder and mayhem? Candace, Gaby, and Ariel discuss the finer points of rich aunts, fraught female relationships, beautiful psychopathic wives, and the dangers of clout chasing in our movies, What Keeps You Alive (2018) and Always Shine (2016). Thank you to our new friend Jalapeno Jared for talking shit on Ariel’s music page and inspiring us to get into this particular sub-subgenre (?) of cabin horror — where the real danger lies within the people closest to you.
Pull up a seat and join us to get into some twisty-turny, mind-bendy madness, including sabotage, betrayal, rowboat fights, luminol baths, Chekov’s syringes, and boring bearded dudes. We promise it’ll be a fun and instructive time, especially if you happen to be planning on any cabin trips this fall (though, we’re only covering a fraction of cabin horrors here, so still be careful… there could still be forest demons and stuff). It’s Jalapeno Jared approved.
Do yourself a favor and watch a movie… and listen on, losers. And so forth.
MOVIES DISCUSSED:
- What Keeps You Alive (2018)
