Cripple Threat

E6 - My Left Foot (1989) (with Drew Gurza)


Listen Later

Today we have our first celebrity guest on the show: writer, public speaker, disability rights advocate, documentary subject, and spastic dancer Drew Gurza.

Drew joins us to discuss My Left Foot, the Citizen Kane of cripple movies, in which Daniel Day-Lewis plays a disabled poet in search of autonomy and love through mastery of the only part of his body he can control. Throughout the show we discuss a smattering of topics, including the scarcity of cripple role models, the horrors of porridge, times when inter-able boundary encroachment has caused embarrassing public freakouts, Jamie's tedious vocabulary,

how the wheelie experience is suited to quarantine, miscommunication in client directed care, and the disabled perils of dropping ones phone.
