On this episode of The Conversation, Kellie and Sarah from the Final Girls Podcast join me to dive deep into the dreams—and trauma—of the quintessential 80s Final Girl: Nancy Thompson from the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise!

Nancy is more than just a survivor; she's a detective, a tactician, and the only person in Springwood brave enough to face the sins of her parents. We're slicing through the lore to analyze why Wes Craven's creation stands out as one of horror's most proactive and resilient heroines.
