Explicit

We accept her, we accept her! In this episode, Laney brings the cult classic Freaks to chat about with Carson. Topics include marginalized bodies, disability in horror, and a little bit of the history of film and censorship. Trapeze through this movie about able bodies taking advantage of disabilities, the difference between exploitation and opportunity, and representation in film over the span of nearly a century.

Gooble gobble, gooble gobble!
