We are shifting focus towards disability and queerness in pop culture, and we are starting with the 2016 romantic drama film, "Me Before You," a controversial love story between an able bodied manic pixie dream girl and a moody, wealthy, disabled man.  We really dig into this movie with our own reactions, Justin's personal experiences, as well as the initial backlash from the disabled community and advocates. This episode goes into A LOT  of heavy issues and adult themes, so listener digression is advised.
