Jenn and Joe tackle our first text, Marc Meyers' adaptation of Derf Backderf's comic memoir, My Friend Dahmer (2017).

Starring a post-Disney Ross Lynch and covering Dahmer's high school years, the film is a contained, quiet tragedy. Still, there's a few unusual creative decisions made for the film worth discussing.

Plus: comparing this to Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story's third episode, casting Anne Heche, and the the discomfort of seeing "Doin' A Dahmer" onscreen.
