Week 2 of Toxic Masculinity month brings probably our most divisive film ever with 2008's Deadgirl. Extreme C/W: rape (and the dog dies!)

Thankfully we're joined by two extreme horror fans, Dax Ebaben and Mary Beth McAndrews, who help us ask the important questions.

Questions like: Who is this film for? What was the intent? And, most importantly, is it successful?

It's an unconventional episode with no easy answers, but it's a great conversation.

Let's derange the world because the profile doesn't fit the profile, which means that we're covering Barbet Schroeder's 2002 film Murder By Numbers. Tagging in for this lively conversation are Patrick and Gena of the Kill By Kill podcast.

Join us as we go all in on this "thriller" that's filled to the brim with queer overtones (courtesy of a baby Ryan Gosling and Michael Pitt), while trying to figure out which of the two main storylines is the more interesting one. Bullock is innocent, though!

Plus: one very random baboon attack, absinthe etiquette, Claire Redfield's jacket, showy psychos, curtain bangs and a mind-bogglingly huge $50 million budget.

We're wrapping up our look at Toxic Masculinity with David Slade's feature directorial debut, Hard Candy (2005).

This secret rape/revenge film features powerhouse performances from Elliot Page and Patrick Wilson and plenty of uncomfortable moments.

Plus: comparisons to Promising Young Woman (and Saw X?!), a frank discussion of pedophilia, plenty of strategic framing, and the prequel we want to see.

Hide your ChapStick and get off the damn bridge because we're heading into the world of high strangeness with a look at Mark Pellington's 2002 chiller The Mothman Prophecies (2002). Tagging in for the conversation is returning guest (and Trace's better half) Ari Drew!

Join us as we offer a brief primer on cryptids and why us queers often feel a special connection to them, before going all in on this stealth Christmas horror film. It's a more philosophical episode than usual, but that makes for some fascinating conversations.

Plus: diving into the true story the film is based on, Mothman's cakes (the butt kind), Richard Gere's magical 2002, creepy phone calls from Indrid Cold and one great hidden scare.
