You go girl, learn some film history! This week, John, Erika, Jesse, and Stewart find body positivity with Netflix\\u2019s Dumplin\\u2019 (Danielle Macdonald), a full-figured highschooler who, with the help of Dolly Parton and some drag queens, ends up competing in her mother\\u2019s (played by Jennifer Aniston) beauty pageant. Even Stew found it heartwarming. The team went to film school watching the first three episodes of The Story of Film: An Odyssey, streaming on Hulu. The Irish filmmaker/narrator brings poeticism to content potentially dry to non-nerds like us.
