On the show today…

The first trailer for Jennifer Lopez’s new “deeply personal movie” This Is Me... Now: A Love Story, has been released, and we’re divided over exactly what it’s trying to tell us.

And, Rebel Wilson has posted a very honest statement to her Instagram account, saying she has gained weight and needs to make changes to her life and her body.

Her words have attracted two very different types of responses, and on today’s show, we unpack Rebel’s problematic history with fatphobia, the uncomfortable grain of truth beneath her words, and why it's a wider problem in our own circles.
