The Grain Of Truth In Rebel Wilson’s Fatphobia
On the show today… The first trailer for Jennifer Lopez’s new “deeply personal movie” This Is Me... Now: A Love Story, has been released, and we’re divided over exactly what it’s trying to tell us. And, Rebel Wilson has posted a very honest statement to her Instagram account, saying she has gained weight and needs to make changes to her life and her body. Her words have attracted two very different types of responses, and on today’s show, we unpack Rebel’s problematic history with fatphobia, the uncomfortable grain of truth beneath her words, and why it's a wider problem in our own circles.

Margot Robbie & A New Awards Show Villain
Hello Spillers, we are back for 2024! On the show today we have to recommend the two new TV shows we’ve been obsessed with over the holidays, and they couldn’t be more different. Plus, we are deep in the thick of awards season, and thanks to a Golden Globes monologue, an unexpected celebrity romance, and some questionable lip readers, some new Hollywood villains have emerged on the scene. We also need to discuss why Margot Robbie feels the need to go into hiding, saying we’re all ‘sick of her’. History tells us she has a point. THE END BITS Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH: Feedback?
