Episode: Isn’t it Romantic: joshhhhhh and a beguiling babe
Description: In this episode, I review the movie 'Isn't It Romantic?' and discusses the representation of plus-size actresses in romantic comedies. I talk about Rebel Wilson's claim of being the first plus-size lead in a rom-com, highlighting the contributions of black fat women in the industry. I also explore the film's portrayal of fatphobia, lack of diversity, and the trope of needing to hit one's head to feel beautiful as a fat woman.
