TRANSCRIPT HERE
Join us for the last episode of the year with the vivacious comedian and musical theatre actor Lauren Edwards. Lauren and Steph bond over their shared experience with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and being backbrace girls in highschool. We go through the limited selection of scoliosis-based media until we get to the beloved comedy film Romy and Michele's Highschool Reunion (1997). Find out what makes the film so iconic and whether its brief but infamous depiction of scoliosis was helpful or harmful!
Also if anyone needs to make a call, I've got a phone.
CONTENT DISCUSSED:
Deenie by Judie Blume (1973), Looking for Mr Goodbar (1977), The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996), The House Bunny (2008), Kiss Me (2014).
