Welcome back to the Horror Agenda. This week we cover the 2000 (technically 2001 special edition) of Battle Royale. Written by Kenta Fukasaku based on the novel of the same name by Koushun Takami and directed by Kinji Fukasaku. 

This week Carlos recommends the book Manhunt by Gretchen Felker Martin about an apocalypse where testosterone caused men to transform into monsters and trans women have to harvest their balls for estrogen to avoid turning themselves while also navigating bands of TERFs and a world turned upside down. 

He also recommends Dimension 20: Misfits and Magic in particular the second season. Both seasons and the two specials are done with Kids on Brooms a TTRPG centered on magic and youths.
