We Must Defend These Problematic Rom-Com...

MAMAMIA PODCASTS
About this episode

Ah the makeover scene... you know, the classic we took her glasses off and she was beautiful all along, moment of the movie?

We didn’t say they weren’t problematic… but they do represent something far deeper than typical beauty standards.

On today's episode we simply must defend the movie makeover scene.

And don’t worry, Weekend Watch is back taking a sexy, intergalactic turn this week.
