About this listen

Final Girls Club explores how Hollywood turns aging women into horror villains through Death Becomes Her (1992), the cult-favorite dark comedy starring Meryl Streep, Goldie Hawn, and Bruce Willis.This feminist analysis of the hag archetype, plastic surgery culture, and female rivalry spotlights the film’s camp satire of eternal youth, beauty standards, and the cosmetic procedures that promise ‘forever flawless’ womanhood. By examining Madeline and Helen as iconic ‘hags’ punished for refusing to age, we connect the movie’s body horror and surgical spectacle to today’s Botox, fillers, and anti-aging industry.
