The Final Girls

it's cute, but maybe a little less fun now that we've had ten extra years of trite 80s throwback stuff. not many of the jokes really land but still a nice time. really liked the mom-daughter stuff. and honestly the worst member of the cast (middleditch) isn't even in *that* much of it! cowriter joshua john miller (son of jason miller, father karras from the exorcist) was inspired by the feeling of watching his dad in the Exorcist after his death. he later cowrote/directed The Exorcism (2024), inspired, again, by his father's role in the Exorcist. probably never gonna watch that movie, but that's neat
