Final Girls

Maxine from MaXXXine


Listen Later

Maxine Minx is a final girl with ambition as sharp as her instincts. Played by the incomparable Mia Goth, Maxine claws her way through Ti West’s X trilogy, proving that in 1980s Hollywood, fame isn’t just about talent—it’s about survival. With dreams of stardom and a ruthless will to succeed, she’ll do whatever it takes to secure her place on the Walk of Fame… even if it means leaving a bloody trail behind.

This week, we pull back the curtain on Maxine’s journey, with a deep dive into the trilogy’s third film. We explore its rich themes, from saints vs. sinners to the blurred lines between fame and infamy, sex and violence, and the price of chasing Hollywood dreams. 🎥✨

🔪 Spoiler Warning: Although we focus on MaXXXine, we discuss all three films, so watch your step!
