036 - Disfigured: On Fairy Tales, Disability, and Making Space by Amanda Leduc
Gen and Jette got an advanced reading copy of "Disfigured" by Amanda Leduc - Thanks to James at Coach House Books for our ongoing collabs! This book breaks down fairy tales and how disability has been etched into the collective unconscious as a bad thing that you have to overcome.
Show Notes:
Who know all the Disney movies came from such creepy scary "Fairy Tales"
Hans My Hedgehog sounds like the craziest story - can you picture a half-man, half hedgehog?
Changing Faces used #Iamnotyourvillain to transform the British film industry and now the BFI won't fund projects were the villains have facial disfigurements.
Can we talk about Marvel and how Hawkeye was actually deaf and the Matt Fraction series had illustrated ASL?
Allison Janney is the actress that Jette couldn't remember
Jamie Brewer is the actress from the AHS series
