For this episode, we’re covering 2002’s May.

Is May another character in the Creepy Loner Girl tradition, or is there more to explore? How can experiences of bullying and mistreatment, often as a result of being different and sometimes connected to disability, make it hard for us to form friendships? Lots to unpack with this “new cult classic.”
