Hi!! Coming up on today’s show, tie up your ballet shoes and pull your hair into a slick bun because we’re talking all things Center Stage!!

We’re going to cover how you get into the American Ballet Company, what it’s like to spend so much of the day in front of the mirror, the pressure to have a ‘dancer’s body’, and a bit of a sugary chat about our favourite dances in the movie.

Just a content warning before you listen, we do explore themes of disordered eating and eating disorders. If either of these topics are close to you, please listen with care. For support you can reach out to The Butterfly Foundation on 1800 33 4673 or Lifeline on 13 11 14.

Gel recommended listening to ‘Bottom of the Pyramid’ by Nia Sioux.

Hi!!

Coming up on today’s show, don’t change that channel because we are talking all things Hairspray!! In amongst the joy, laughter and average singing, we unpack the overt body shaming of Tracy and her mum, how we can use food to lean into celebration and of course the incredible music and cast!!

Gel recommended reorganising the files on your computer

Hello!

Coming up on today’s show, we’re talking all things Angus Thongs and Perfect Snogging!! We unpack the fear of looking fat, the impact of the physical attractiveness test, and changing ourselves to make us more attractive to boys. Obviously we couldn’t do an episode on this movie without chatting about the olive costume and the snogging scale so be prepared for lots of giggles!

Gel recommended Bad Batch (https://www.instagram.com/badbatch/).

Taylor recommended watching Bride & Prejudice.
