What's In An Age Gap?
Today we're chatting body image in isolation, partly inspired by Jameela Jamil's delightful interview with the glorious Beanie Feldstein. Lockdown seems to be making us more aware of ours bodies than ever, so it feels timely to be unpacking some of those dangerous body ideals that women have been trying to fend off since, well, forever. Plus, we discuss 'Run', Vicky Jones new HBO series and fan-girl over her and Phoebe Waller Bridge's friendship/creative partnership (similarities? Who? Us?) Then, we touch on Florence Pugh, Zach Braff and the endless question of the Hollywood age gap. Is it all just puritan finger-wagging? Or are there some moral dimensions to the 'how old is too old?' conversation that are worth considering, especially in post-#MeToo Hollywood? Grab a glass of wine and enjoy.
