Ya'll remember Your Fat Friend? It seems like forever ago but that anonymous account on twitter that told the world what it was like to be fat was not only life changing but also part of a greater movement. Does that movement even exist anymore? We talk about the film Your Fat Friend with Aubrey Gordon, directed by Jeanie Finlay. This film documents Aubrey and her journey of being "your fat friend", writing a book, and also opens wider discussions on being in a fat body and the fat experience. We discuss why we loved the film, what it made us think, and also the exhaustion of having to defend fat people's humanity. This is an episode favorite you don't want to miss AND IT HAS SPOILERS. But you should definitely go watch this film.
WATCH IT!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
