Two internet friends (one American, one Irish) talking about folklore, mythology and dark history all through a feminist (and sometimes spooky!) lens. Think goddesses, folk tales, animal symbolism, hauntings, and everything in between...

Episode Forty-Five: Inanna, The Final Girl - Full bush/no bush (with Ewan)

PLEASE LIKE/RATE/SUSBCRIBE or we'll nominate you in our place to decend to the Great Below...

Niamh is carrying the torch without Emily for the foreseeable and of course that means a Ewan episode! We take a hard look at the Final Girl trope - that horror genre staple that sees the underestimated, underskilled, underappreciated female protagonist left standing alone, covered in blood and forever changed at the end of the story. As with all stories, there is a mythical origin - specifically the Mespotamian goddess Inanna, AKA Ishtar: goddess of love and war, patroness of sexworkers, scorned woman and feminine icon. We contrast Inanna with her modern counterparts: Ripley (Alien), Sidney (Scream), and Sarah (The Descent) - full spoilers for all those movies herein!
