DB teams up with Jill Lissner, go-to sex ed princess, to break down the veritable, undeniable fat-shaming mess that is Shallow Hal. It’s the vommiest of rom-coms, and we’re not holding back, folks! Join us as we dig into the dated humor, glaring double standards, and take a hard look at why fatness is treated like the ultimate punchline onscreen. It’s a rough watch, and we’re here to roast it all!
