Grace & Frankie: The new golden girls of Netflix + the secret 'Beauty Work' of HD TV
05/06/18 • 48 min
Grace and Frankie is the hugely successful Netflix comedy show that celebrates women of a certain age who don't necessarily want to grow up. Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda look fabulous at 78 and 80 (!), and it has a lot to do with Hollywood's secret 'Beauty Work' effect - a specialised photoshopping process that helps already-beautiful women look smoother, tighter and younger on screen. Does this kind of digital trickery reinforce impossible beauty standards even into retirement, or is it perfectly fine for a woman to use everything at her disposal to look her best no matter what her age? Does 'embracing ageing' mean we have to bare all? We discuss on the latest character studies episode, plus chat about our favourite characters, moments and style obsessions (house porn! turbans!)
