The Way Down (Patreon)

Hot off the presses, and by very popular request, it's our October bonus episode!

HBO Max's The Way Down tells the story of Gwen Shamblin Lara, who they introduce as a charismatic and controversial cult leader who demanded piety and thinness of the members of Remnant Fellowship.  Despite its focus on abusive weight loss tactics, Aubrey wonders what this documentary delivers for fat people, or for critiques of anti-fatness.  And despite the documentary's splashy plot points, Mike thinks it misses a more interesting story.  It's bonus episode time, and we've got some extremely spicy takes on The Way Down.
