In this episode, hosts Katherine Troyer and Anthony Tresca discuss the 2017 comedy-horror film Happy Death Day.
Episode Highlights: Katherine creates a critical framework for nostalgia, Anthony discusses the idea of Tree as a Final Girl, and we agree that a college campus is the perfect location for a story where every day feels exactly the same as the last day.
A Dose of Scholarship: For more on the final girl in horror, check out Carol J. Clover's Men, Women, and Chain Saws: Gender in the Modern Horror Film. For theories of nostalgia, we recommend looking at Svetlana Boym's The Future of Nostalgia and Stephanie Coontz's The Way We Never Were: American Families and the Nostalgia Trap.
