The Wicked movie has taken the world by storm, so naturally Abby had to discuss its political roots, fat applicability, and body diverse casting with original Broadway cast member Kathy Deitch! They also chat about Kathy's experiences as a fat actor and activist, make the dramaturgical case for casting fat actors in iconic musical theatre roles, and (of course) take the lyrics of Defying Gravity and really hold space with that.

This week Abby and Luz are joined by Cornell philosophy professor and author Kate Manne, whose recent book Unshrinking: How to Fight Fatphobia blew both of their minds! Kate gives her take on the moral philosophy of fatness, how size informs misogyny, lasagna, dogwhistles, sexual fatphobia, Baby Reindeer, and her concept of body reflexivity.

Abby and Luz are joined by Deanna Garwol, creator of My Big Fat Bucket List, to discuss the fat wallflower trope, our Bridgerton crushes, what straight men can learn from regency romance, the definition of midsize, and of course the famous carriage scene.

We also cover Lana Del Rey, the fat face of it all, being honest about internalized fatphobia, glamorizing toxic sex, and why this is a Patrick Wilson fancast.

This week, Abby and Luz talk about the sad fat person trope, unpacking why media is so obsessed with presenting fat people as pitiable walking tragedies. Some of the examples we discuss include Fat Thor, Bridgerton, Heathers, The Whale, and good old-fashioned freak shows.
