E361 - Are These Men's Health Sex Positions Disability-Friendly? Apr 21, 2024

Show notes

Episode Notes

On E361, Andrew does a classic DAD episode and reviews popular sex positions from Men's Health to see if they are actually disability friendly or accessible. SO MANY OF THEM don't even consider accessibility at all, so I do it for them. From positions like, The Captain to the Happy Baby (yup, that's real), we consider where accessibility could be and why it is so lacking. Enjoy!

E355 - Popcorn and Power Chairs 7 - The Whale Mar 10, 2024

Show notes

Episode Notes

In E355, we have another installment of Popcorn and Power Chairs. In this one, I wanted to review The Brendan Fraser led Drama/Horror (horror according to Google) The Whale. I had a lot of feelings about how fatness and disability were portrayed in this one, and I often found the ableism overwhelming alongside the fatphobia. Why didn’t they just hire a fat person? Or a disabled person? And other questions… like who was it made for? I don’t know if this was the way we should have welcomed Brendan Fraser back. What did you think?
