The Problematic Gaze
Join Lee and Dave for lighthearted look at the world of TV, Film and Popular Culture of yesteryear that has since been considered problematic. Should they be 'cancelled' or celebrated? What can we learn from them? Does the mention of 'Mrs Slocombe's pussy' send you into hysterical laughter or moral outrage? Or are you just as confused as us as to how we should feel? Perhaps a glass of wine would help?

The Problematic Gaze
Episode 12: Sex, Vice and Ginger Spice. The 'Fat Slags' Movie from 2004
Join Lee and Dave for a lighthearted look at the world of TV, Film and Popular Culture from yesteryear that has since been considered problematic. This week we watch the 2004 British film 'Fat Slags'. Universally panned by critics and a flop at the box office, Dave and Dr Lee dig deep to find a redeeming feature. Do we succeed?
Also, we deep dive Dave's trip to New York and skim the surface on Lee's trip to erm... Wigan.
If you'd like to watch the (mercifully short) Fat Slags movie click here. We recommend having a bottle of gin and perhaps a crack pipe handy to get to the end.
