Default Blown Diff or Blown Axle

Well due to school I have yet to tear into the car. The run down, Friday night I was driving home, I went to get on it and it sounded like a bomb went off in my trunk. My car is stripped from the seats back and I have solid mounts and stiff coils. I lost all power to the rear wheels when this happened. Transmission spins, driveshaft spins and in the video you will see what happens when friction is introduced. Toward the end of my video I slightly engaged the e-brake and thats when its very visual and audible. Now I have been told it could possibly be my right axle. When I spin my driveshaft by hand, both wheels spin as they should. Im also wondering if it could be inside my diff. Additionally, the inner rubber boot toward the pumpkin on the right side is majorly twisted but won't untwist. Any insight guys?

The boot is twisted because the axle joint inside is broken. (Broken 3-point spider to be exact)

You need an axle 100%.
