Bodies of Horror: Episode 77 - Poor Things (2023)

In this episode, Nichole talks about the 2023 award-winning film, Poor Things. Much of the discussion around this film has focused on gender, gender roles, and sexual autonomy but there is a fair bit to say about how disability is very present in this film – particularly with the characters of Bella and Godwin.
