Manage episode 361914172 series 3453585
Get ready to rock out with this week's episode as I am joined by the fierce writer, Caitlin Kearns. She's a self-proclaimed "fat, queer and disabled weirdo from Belfast," and we're diving deep into the 2003 hit movie, School of Rock.
We're discussing how Jack Black's bigger body helps to tell the story of the movie. We all know that in Hollywood, the leading man is often portrayed as the perfect specimen of fitness and health, but not in this case. Jack Black's larger size adds to the charm of the film and helps to break the mold of what we've come to expect from the leading man.
We're also talking about Tomika's struggles with insecurity and how it relates to living with a bigger body. It's important for people of all sizes to see themselves represented on screen and to know that they're not alone in their struggles.
Lastly, we're diving into the body positive scene in the movie. You heard it here first: you can be sexy and chubby - they are not mutually exclusive! Don't miss out on this thought-provoking and hilarious episode of the podcast. You can find Caitlin below; IG Twitter
