About this episode
"Ma, it's changing out there! You'll like it. People who are different, their time is coming!”
We're saying farewell to MAY-usical month with a double feature that's big and beautiful, John Waters' HAIRSPRAY from 1988 and the 2007 movie musical made of the broadway show it inspired. The Wives Colangelo are joined by Kate Hagen of The Black List to talk about fat representation, what the musical loses without John Waters' touch, a fantastical world where racism is solved simply by changing minds, that damn John Travolta fat suit, and dreamboats who aren't afraid to love a fat girl.
