Kristen Lopez - "Forrest Gump" - Problematic Fave

What this episode covers

Stupid is as a stupid does indeed. This week we welcome journalist Kristen Lopez (Instagram: @kristenlopez88; Twitter: @Journeys_Film) to the pod and we talk about the Oscar-winning 1994 Robert Zemeckis Forrest Gump starring Hollywood Bosom Buddies icon Tom Hanks and in case you haven't watched it lately, it has some problems. From the portrayal of people with disabilities to whether or not Forrest was considered "disabled", Lopez and Dino-Ray Ramos unpack a lot about this beloved film in this super-sized episode (I mean, there's a lot to talk about).
