Body swapping movies always feel a bit squiggy going in, especially when you look at them through the lens of trans and non-binary folks. That's why we had two guests this week as we all gushed over the amazing way this body swapping slasher starring a man not known for his ability to be funny and mindful of the LGBTQIA+ community. It's a modern day miracle, but this movie actually does a really amazing job of handling trans issues and even goes out of its way to get the pronouns right!
