Palsies with Palsys is finally taking shape after nearly 50 episodes! We are shifting focus towards disability and queerness in pop culture, and we are starting with the 2016 romantic drama film, "Me Before You." What a film. 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 discretion is advised.
