No broken bones on screen, a character does describe a past event where someone’s jaw was wired shut; the description isn’t graphic.

The movie is filmed in a mockumentary style, so the characters talk to the audience directly throughout the film.

There is no explicit misgendering, but in the epilogue it’s revealed one of the characters is a trans woman and her identity is played as a joke. It’s hard to see the way the topic is portrayed in this film as anything other than transphobic.

There is a very transphobic scene at the end of the film when one of the characters is revealed to be a trans woman. The character's identity, appareanece, clothing, and voice are all played for comedy.
There is very little buildup to this reveal so the scene can easily blindside a viewer if they don't know it's coming.

A character is revealed to be a trans woman at the end of the film, it is a very stereotypical and offensive depiction.
