Episode 313 Great Flix & Joysticks - Music Sep 25, 2022

Show notes

Episode Notes

In the latest installment of Great Flix and Joysticks, I sit down to review one of the most ableist films of the year, Sia’s “Music.” It’s a masterclass in how not to be ableist on film. Featuring neurotypical people playing autistic people, disabled characters almost being institutionalized, and disabled people being used to make able-bodied people fall in love + so much more. Listen to me tear this film to shreds. You can watch the film on Amazon Prime in Canada or AppleTV+ and other streamers elsewhere.

Episode 312: GREAT FLIX AND JOYSTICKS - PUMPKIN Sep 18, 2022

Show notes

Episode Notes

I watched this trashfire of a film all about a well to-do sorority girl, Carolyn, who falls in love with an intellectually disabled person and can’t deall with it. Pumpkin is full of ableist slurs, sexual ableism and so much more. The make the movie all about these people unable to deal with their ableism, and use disability as a dramatic plot point that ruins their able-bodied privilege. Ugh! Enjoy!
