This week, we’re continuing our tribute to iconic performers we’ve recently lost, as part of our May They Rest In Peace series. Join Henrique and David as they travel to Canada (spiritually, at least) to revisit one of the most memorable horror thrillers of the 2000s: Final Destination.
Directed by James Wong and starring Devon Sawa, Ali Larter, Kerr Smith, and the unforgettable Tony Todd—who delivers an unforgettable turn in just one scene—this episode dives into the supernatural suspense that made this film a generational anxiety trigger.
🎬 Topics discussed in this episode:
- Did Final Destination create anxiety for an entire generation?
- How did this idea evolve from an X-Files spec script to a full-on franchise?
- “Is it just us, or is that teacher’s death a real wackity-schmackity-do death?”
- Why did the studio axe the romance between Sawa and Larter?
- “How does Tony Todd steal the film with just 5 minutes of screentime?”
💥 PLUS:
- Are we entering a new wave of Nepo Baby Cinema?
- Did David’s sister accidentally curate the best horror sleepover of 2000?
- Is JFK airport truly as terrifying as movies make it seem?
- Could Marvel’s Thunderbolts save the MCU?
