The Nutty Professor (1996) is a film you have been requesting for some time now and I finally had the perfect guests to deep dive into it with, Nikita & Sim from Fat Lib London!
We talk about the hypocrisy of the film's central message of loving yourself how you are while simultaneously mocking and ridiculing fat people, we talk about how race plays a big role in this film but fatphobia as a whole and how we feel about Sherman's transformation into the former fat Buddy Love.
We mention 2 books which are worth a read to further your understanding on fat liberation;
- Fearing the Black Body: The Racial Origins of Fat Phobia by Sabrina Strings
- Belly of the Beast: The Politics of Anti-Fatness as Anti-Blackness by Da’Shaun Harrison
