Celluloid Psychosis: Episode 44 - Butt Boy (2019)

This week on Celluloid Psychosis, TJ and Paul take on the 2019 crime-horror-comedy Butt Boy, directed by Tyler Cornack. In this outrageous and bizarre story, Chip Gutchell (Cornack), a mild-mannered IT guy, undergoes a routine prostate exam that awakens an uncontrollable compulsion to shove objects up his butt. What begins as a strange habit quickly escalates into a disturbing obsession, involving everything from household items to pets, children, and even adults.

As people begin mysteriously vanishing, Detective Russell B. Fox (Tyler Rice), a hard-drinking investigator, starts to unravel the twisted trail of disappearances. What follows is a dark and absurd game of cat-and-mouse that pushes the boundaries of crime, obsession, and the human body to uncomfortable extremes.

Tune in as TJ and Paul dive deep into the shocking premise, the film’s bold blend of crime thriller and dark comedy, and the performances that bring this bizarre tale to life. They'll discuss why Butt Boy’s absurdity and unsettling nature make it a memorable, if controversial, cult film, and explore how it manages to balance horror, humor, and the most bizarre obsession imaginable.
