Both of us grew up watching Friends in our teen years. It’s a show that brought us so much joy, laughter and comfort. While it continues to be one of our favourite shows of all time, some of the ‘comedy’ hasn’t aged well and we want to talk about it. We don’t have time to chat through every episode, so for today we’re going to do a deep dive on ‘The one with all the thanksgivings’ and talk about the role that fat Monica played in the show, body commentary, stereotypes around the kind of people heterosexual males find attractive and of course Rachel’s nose job. We also play our own version of Friends bamboozle… let’s see if you can get more right than Gel!!
