Fat Suit Extravaganza! (Patreon)

It's September bonus episode time!

Fat suits are having a weird renaissance--and so is criticism of them. As a follow up to our August bonus episode on Shallow Hal, this month, we're talking fat suits.  Mike talks through what Gwyneth Paltrow had to say about her experience in a fat suit for Shallow Hal, and the strange, disappearing photos of Julia Roberts in America's Sweethearts.  And Aubrey's got some hot takes on Sarah Paulson in American Crime Story: Impeachment and Taraji P. Henson in Best of Enemies. Along the way, we dig in on the unsatisfying mechanics of social change and the ~bravery~ of actors gaining weight for their roles.

We fully expect that we'll talk about fat suits again, so feel free to share others we should discuss in the comments! And, as ever, future bonus episode requests are always welcome.

You can play today's episode directly through Patreon, or you can use our RSS feed to add it to your podcast app.  Here are the instructions from Patreon.

Thanks so much for listening and supporting! It's such a treat to make these for you all.

See you next month,
