About the Episode
Lucy and Alice discuss the 1980 film “The Elephant Man” and the 2024 film “A Different Man,” both focusing on characters with severe facial deformities. They critique the 1980 film for its outdated portrayal of Joseph Merrick, noting its use of historical techniques to sensationalize his condition.
They also highlight the irony of the 2024 film’s lack of accessibility for disabled viewers and the ongoing issues of disability representation in media.
