Audra and Elisa pair up with Lily and James from Groovy Movies podcast to dissect one of the most talked about films of the year, The Whale, which stars Brendan Fraser and is nominated for multiple Academy Awards. They chat about fat representation, the struggle of stage-to-film adaptations, voyeurism, and the different manifestations of trauma. This episode pairs best with following Aubrey Gordon, making British friends, and watching the Oscars.Book RecommendationHunger by Roxanne GayCheck out Culture ColanderListen here!Follow here!Email at culturecolander@gmail.comKeep the conversation going Follow us!Email us at groovymoviespod@gmail.comSourcesThe Whale (2022 Film)The Whale, AccoladesThe Whale, Rotten Tomatoes Reviews What We Don’t Talk About When We Talk About Fat, Aubrey Gordon “You Just Need to Lose Weight”: And 19 Other Myths About Fat People, Aubrey Gordon  Characters Who Take Up More than Their Share of Room in the Family, New York TimesWhat Terms Like "Superfat" and "Small Fat" Mean, and How They Are Used, Teen Vogue“The Whale” Screenwriter Samuel D.
