We’re celebrating spoOOoooOoky season with a Wendell & Wild watch party! From Coraline director Henry Selick and producer Jordan Peele, Wendell & Wild features Raúl, the first trans masc character (or any trans character!) in a feature-length stop motion film.
We dig into how Raúl holds space on screen, what it means to see fully developed trans masculine characters, and why Selick chose to add a trans boy to his world.
This episode explores Raúl’s intersectional Indigenous identity, the power of uniquely trans masc stories, and how the film navigates difficult moments like dead naming with care.
This one’s for the horror fans, the animation nerds, and the trans masc viewers who’ve never seen themselves on screen before, but more specifically, in clay-animated form!
