Don't adjust your feed: we're redoing Richard Shepard's twisty 2019 secret rape/revenge film, which drew criticism when we covered it in our first year.

Joining us is musician and Halloweenies editor Mae Shults for a discussion that veers between heavy, confessional and dumb. We're talking real life sexual assault, pooping our pants and guessing the pop culture moment the film's wig reveal is referencing.

Plus: debating the responsibility of art (and other criticisms from reviews), praising the performances, and questioning the catharsis of the ending
