Can you believe we're 3/4 of the way through series 3?! This week the girls are chatting diversity in films and predominantly the use of a 'fat suit' in the upcoming Matilda film with Emma Thompson starring as the infamous Miss Trunchbull. Is there still a stereotype regarding the fat, scary headmistress or is this a case of sticking to the book? With the changing of other characters (such as a Black Miss Honey), would it have been deviating too much to *not* make Miss Trunchbull a fat lady? Should they have too hired a fat actress as opposed to putting Emma Thompson in a suit? How far do we blur the lines between acting and authenticity, and should certain roles be reserved for people who are part of certain minorities?
In this week's 'Am I Ovary Acting?', the girls are talking secondhand selling. Is it really 'never worn' if you're taking a photo of yourself in it to sell? Or is this a little bit *too* pedantic?
The Confession Booth comes through and it divides Amber and Annabel as to who is the a*hole, and it gets them missing office culture.
