Ep 8 - Martyrs & Mayhem in 'Prophecy Girl'

To close the first season of Dames Macabre, Meaghan and Alex explore Buffy's journey as a modern-day Gothic Heroine and Final Girl by drawing parallels with medieval Virgin Martyrs in Buffy's Season 1 finale , "Prophecy Girl" (S1.E12). The episode dissects the cinematic elements and cultural references that make "Prophecy Girl" a standout, while also touching on the thematic depth of Buffy's character as she faces her prophesied death.
