Learn about emotions and bring your tissues - we are talking Inside Out!

I was joined by singer-songwriter Kate Yeager to dive deep into the emotional well of this film. We speak about the character of Sadness and the decision to portray her as round. We theorise what could have been if Riley was portrayed in a plus size body and we pour one out for the King - Bing Bong.

This may be the most tangential episode yet covering the need for plus size baths, medieval themed restaurants and our experiences existing online.

Time didn't heal anything, especially not the patriarchy!

We had to talk about one of the most anticipated horror releases of the year, 28 Years Later, directed by Danny Boyle and written by Alex Garland, returning to the world they created with 28 Days Later from 2002.

I was joined by film critic, editor at whatascreampodcast.com and co-host of Gore Things Pod Ygraine Hackett-Cantabrana to dive deep into this seemingly divisive film.

We talk fat representation, female representation, are placentas magical? What our thoughts on the evolved (or devolved) infected. The themes of the film around patriarchy, family dynamics and our old favourite toxic masculinity.

There is so much to discuss in this episode, we had a lot to get off our chest!

What's occurrin'?

This episode, we are diving deep into the ordinary world of Gavin & Stacey; created, written and starring Ruth Jones and James Corden.

Joined by Holly Lowne, the creator behind the fantastic Instagram@the.fat.museum where she showcases depictions of fatness in art spanning centuries and her passion behind showing others how we have always been here.

We talk about how awesome it is to see a tv show created by fat people and showcasing fat characters and ultimately fat love - while also sometimes being problematic in its reliance on tropes. We discuss the appeal of Gavin & Stacey, the intriguing family dyanmics and the authenticity lens it brings to british life.

Also - this is the first time you can watch this podcast too! We are getting modern.

Fats on Film was called the podcast of dreams, and it was. It really was.

This week I was joined by content creator and Titanic enthusiast Alice Mary Tate to talk about one of the biggest films ever made, Titanic (1997) written and directed by James Cameron.

We speak about the character of Molly Brown portrayed by Kathy Bates as well as her real life counter part the unsinkable Molly Brown. We discuss the press's treatment of Kate Winslet in her younger years as well as her treatment from Director Jimmy C.

And we indulge in our love for this film, what it means to us and how it has made its way in to our personalities.

Molly:
Hey, uh, who thought of the name "Titanic?" Was it you, Bruce?

Bruce:
Yes, actually. I want to convey sheer size; and size means stability, luxury, and, above all, strength.
