Show notes

Episode Notes

On E343, we do a popcorn & power chairs episode where I review the new HBO Doc called The Boy Who Lived about David Holmes, Daniel Radcliffe’s stunt double on the HP films who had an accident which left him paralyzed. We learn about their deep bond, we go along with David as he chronicles the highs and lows of his life before and after disability. He makes me think differently about some things about paralysis, and we watch as his friends talk about their experiences with him, as they navigate his new reality. Enjoy!
