Today I'm diving into The Final Girls (2015)—a comedic slasher film that somehow mixes heart, horror tropes, meta humor, and summer camp chaos into one unforgettable experience. What happens when characters get trapped inside a slasher movie and suddenly have to obey all the genre rules? Well… things get messy in the best possible way.In this spoiler-lite review, I break down what works, what surprised me, and why this hidden gem immediately became one of my favorite meta-horror films of the last decade. From the clever twist on classic slasher logic to the unexpectedly emotional relationship at the story's core, this movie delivers far more than its premise suggests.In this episode:

We've reached the grand finale! Ten more masterpieces that were rejected, banned, or forgotten before time redeemed them. From Fahrenheit 451 to A Game of Thrones, these are the ultimate examples of books that refused to stay dead.This episode wraps up our journey through 50 legendary failures-turned-favorites—proof that every great story deserves a second chance. Missed the previous episodes? They're all waiting here at Fantasy for the Ages.

Some stories are so bold they're dismissed when they first appear. A Canticle for Leibowitz, Good Omens, The Blade Itself, and others on this list were mocked, ignored, or misunderstood—until they changed their genres forever.In Part 3 of They Failed First, I explore how a mix of dark humor, post-apocalyptic reflection, and grimdark grit went from disappointing launches to full-blown fan obsessions.

Are you craving something new to read — something magical, thought-provoking, or deeply inspiring that isn't already on every “Top 10 Fantasy” list?In this episode, Jim shares 30 lesser-known but fantastic novels across fantasy, science fiction, and horror — each one uniquely written, highly rated by readers and critics alike, and bursting with imagination, heart, and hope.Some of these stories celebrate courage and compassion; others explore wonder, grace, or the quiet strength of resilience.All of them deserve more love than they've received — and by the end of this video, your TBR will be overflowing.✨ This episode is spoiler-lite, so dive in freely!

We're humbled and thrilled to have hit 4,000 subscribers on YouTube, just a couple months after hitting 3,000! Glad to have you all with us, enjoying our content. In celebration, we invited eight guests — authors, content creators, supporters of the show — and we spent 90 minutes in glorious goofiness related to SFFH nerdiness! Enjoy the fun we had, and if you have the ability, watch the live chat as it scrolls by!

Some books are so good, they don't just stick with you—they call you back. Even with more than 1,700 books waiting on my TBR, these are the SFFH novels and series I'd gladly reread anytime, anywhere.In this episode, I'm sharing my Top 10 Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and Horror books I would read again in a heartbeat, along with a couple of honorable mentions. From epic fantasy and classic horror to space opera and post-apocalyptic survival, these stories swept me away so completely that I couldn't resist putting them back on the list—even if I've already revisited them more than once.Do you have a book or series you'd dive back into right now, no hesitation? Share your “reread favorites” in the comments—I'd love to see how your list compares with mine!And don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit that bell so you don't miss future episodes.

As a voiceover professional since 2004, he almost gave up on it altogether, but got yanked back in by several fine podcasts and audio drama groups. For this, he is grateful. He has a keen interest in learning and imitating accents, and is currently working on his Tony C. Smith impression. In his free time, Elie enjoys cartooning, listening to old-time radio drama, and referring to himself in the third person.Fact: Looking Back At Genre History by Amy H Sturgis See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
