About this episode

The episode discusses the portrayal of villains with disabilities in media, featuring guest Alicia Grace Chenier.

This week on the podcast we’re doing things a little different. We’re joined by actor and disabilities advocate Alicia Grace Chenier (@aliciagraceofficial) to discuss “villains with disabilities.” We’re talking about the representations of disability in a variety of movies and TV shows, and how all-too-frequently “different” is portrayed as “evil.”  Produced by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Andrew Ivimey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ as part of The From Superheroes Network.
