## Resource

Our coverage of Leopold and Loeb wraps up on the main feed with Barbet Schroeder's Murder By Numbers (2002), which consists of two different films smashed together into one. On one side, we have a police procedural involving Sandy B's detective and her traumatic past. On the other side, we have a pair of queer-coded teen boys (Ryan Gosling and Michael Pitt) obsessed with executing the perfect murder. It doesn't take much math to figure out which one is more successful! Wanna connect with the show?
