Episode Details

A trans filmmaker takes on a chaotic, R-rated horror reboot in “Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma,” blending slasher madness with deeply personal themes of identity, legacy, and queer resilience. Hannah Einbinder stars as Kris, a Sundance darling directing a campy 80s franchise—while grappling with the haunting past of its transphobic origins. Seeking the original “final girl,” played by Gillian Anderson in a reclusive, star-turning performance, Kris dives into a surreal, dreamlike journey that turns pop culture into a mirror for transition. It’s equal parts gore-fest and intimate self-discovery—a bold, boundary-pushing film that dares to ask: what if your most hated genre becomes your most honest story?
