episode 2: S3:E2 - She's The Man [Twelfth Night] (At The Movies Series)
It’s time for a dubious holiday (& world cup) special, a movie that has aged like pint of ice cream, our first Shakespeare film adaptation: SHE’S THE MAN!
With apologies in advance to your early ‘aughts nostalgia, we dive into this Amanda Bynes and Channing Tatum classic. As is tradition, the high school characters are played by actors clearly approaching 30, the Shakespeare appropriation is ham-fisted at best (Channers’ character is literally named “Duke Orsino.” First name Duke, last name Orsino), and the gay panic/transphobia is at an all-time high. What fun!
CONTENT NOTE: As you might expect, this episode discusses gender dysphoria, transphobia, and homophobia. We also talk about body image and weight/weight loss.
