About this episode
Depictions of weight in media are notoriously unhealthy, from unrealistic body-image to negative characterization of people who are larger or heavyset. Dallin Rowell joins the show to discuss the role of heavier weights in story and characters, the fat-advocacy movement, and specific examples of movies & television and how they present "fat" people.
Dalin Rowell is a film writer for Slash Film, and a regular contributor to the Broken Brain, cohost/reviewer of the Netflix series "Anne With an E." Follow her work at ;
