Nic Cage plays the psycho antagonist and appears trans-coded. This is unfortubate because trans representation in media, especially horror, has historically been a bit rough (see Psycho and Silence of the Lambs). Oz Perkins, the director, has stated that he is not meant to be trans, but is supposed to be a “glam rock” guy. There are other parts of the movie that validate that, but ultimately it is up to viewers choose what they think.

In the US, it is incredibly cheap. It’s made out of one of our cheapest crops: soybeans. You can get a pound of tofu for less than $2 probably, even at my “health food” stores. I’d suggest looking for Chinese/Japanese/Korean markets and see what they sell.

Vegan chickpea salad sandwiches are great. You can also get something tasty using marinated tofu. I agree that vegan sandwiches can be tough, but there are some good ones out there.
