Bodies of Horror: Episode 68 - Under The Skin (2013‪)‬ Anatomy of a Scream Pod Squad

For this episode, Nichole covers 2013’s Under the Skin. Does having a disabled character (played by a disabled actor) as a pivotal part of another character’s turning point feel exploitative or authentic approach? How would it feel to shed the skin that has been a point of pain or even trauma? Would you get into a non-descript van with a stranger?
