Episode Notes


In E397, Andrew invites you to another episode of Popcorn & Power Chairs. In this episode, find out why Andrew gives the Oscar Winning movie Rain Man only 1.5 power chairs out of 5, why Charlie Babbit sucks, and why Andrew will run you over if you clap at him. We unpack the ableism in this movie about autism and disability, and look at all the ways this movie prioritized the able bodied character instead of the disabled one! Enjoy!
