Final Girls

Naru from Prey


Listen Later

Long before Dutch faced the Predator in the jungle, Naru was already rewriting the rules of the hunt. In Prey (2022), Amber Midthunder brings fierce intensity to Naru, a young Comanche woman determined to prove she’s more than what her tribe expects of her. This week, we track Naru’s journey from underestimated healer to full-fledged warrior, discussing how the film flips the franchise’s macho legacy on its head and celebrates Indigenous resilience, skill, and survival.

We also dive into how Prey honors Final Girl tradition while pushing it forward—because Naru isn’t just surviving the Predator, she’s challenging the gendered and colonial expectations placed on her from the start.

🩸 Spoiler Warning: We’re spilling guts and spoilers—so watch Prey before pressing play.
