Episode 21 - Barbarian

This week on Chopping It Up Horror, we’re teaming up with the badass hosts of Final Girls for a deep, no-holds-barred dive into one of the most talked-about modern horror films: Barbarian. We dissect the film’s bold structure, unpredictable twists, and subversive use of horror tropes—from Airbnb anxieties to monstrous motherhood. Alongside the Final Girls crew, we explore the film’s layered themes of gender, power, and survival, and ask the big questions: Who’s really the villain? Can Justin Long get any worse? And what makes Tess a Final Girl for the modern age? Whether you’re a diehard horror fan or just here for the chaos in the basement, this is one collab you don’t want to miss
