Netflix's new show "GLOW" is based on an old 80s show that starred female wrestlers. Welp, we photographed four amazing women all over Southern California who were the *real* GLOW (Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling) wrestlers from the original series for The Washington Post and first up was Dee Booher aka Matilda the Hun. What an incredible, unique woman. We both left this shoot so excited to have met her--she has such a wonderful energy and laugh to match (too bad this photo doesn't come with sound effects because she was growling and grunting and threatening in character and it was ahh-mazing to witness) | Brinson+Banks

“And don’t watch that crap while I’m gone. It’s degrading to women”
That’s was what my mom would say to eight year old me as she was leaving to go to the bar and meet up with her married boyfriend.
The year I got into watching Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling was one of the last years it was filmed. My father had left us, my mother now had a younger (and married) boyfriend and was developing a substance abuse problem. She had started leaving me home alone while she went out. And on Saturday nights the local station ’20-Vision’ would air G.L.O.W. (And I was lucky enough to get a year or two of reruns)
It was everything I needed right then. I wanted to be them. Mountain Fiji was strong, confident and stood up for those weaker than her. People were scared of Dementia and left her alone. Matilda the Hun was feared by grown men. People did whatever Big Bad Mama told them to do. And everyone thought Godiva was beautiful. But Daisy was the one I related to the most.
My all time favorites were mostly Mountain Fiji and Daisy. While everyone recognizes Mountain Fiji’s name, few people remember Daisy. Mostly remembering her as the tall blond one.  
While I wanted to be Mountain Fiji in my real life, I was more like Daisy in my day to day life. I was taller than all the girls AND boys in my class. (And would have stayed that way if it hadn’t been for an autoimmune disease attacking my cartilage) Her storyline was always kinda confusing cause she had to do what everyone else told her to do, just like my own life. And she had long blond hair and wore a baggy ripped up shirt. She got dragged around by her hair in the ring. And looked like no one made sure she had clean clothes.
Just like in my real life.
These women were an amazing but fleeting group of heros in young girls lives at that time. There were no ‘girl’ Transformers. (I mean, yeah, there were/are 'girl Transformers’ but could you name them without Googling it?) And you couldn’t play G.I. Joe unless you had your own gun. Being a girl really limited your options while playing with the boys. But if the boys in the neighborhood wouldn’t let you play 'He-Man’, you could just clothesline them like Mountain Fiji.
I could not be happier about the story of G.L.O.W. finally being told. They are so important in the history of women my age. They deserve to be recognized for being the superheros we needed.
I just wish they stories of the real women were being told. I would really love to know more about them. More than what the 2011 documentary GLOW: The Story of the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling.

Admittedly, I haven’t been great about keeping up with the Monthly Roundup feature.  I like having an overview of the fat characters I’m exposed to as part of my regular moviegoing, but something about its current format doesn’t feel quite right, and I’ve decided to shelve it until I’m more confident about what I’m doing with it.  However, I’m pleased to report that in the space of one short month (admittedly not a calendar month, but still), I have seen no less than four films with kickass fat female characters.  Most amazingly, I only sought out one of the four because I knew in advance that it had a fat female character; the others were complete surprises.  Check these out if you’re able.
Deidre and Laney Rob a Train (2017, dir. Sydney Freeland)
It’s not uncommon for a socially awkward protagonist high school girl to have a frenemy, someone in her social circle who is overly assertive and selfish, but gets away with it because of her social capital and ability to be manipulative. (Mean Girls. If it’s not patently obvious, I’m referencing Mean Girls.)  In a subplot, Laney (Rachel Crow) is strong-armed into auditioning for a beauty pageant by Claire (Brooke Markham), a Lady Macbeth-in-training who is determined to become Miss Iowa and wants Laney to make her look better by comparison.  Claire is ruthless, ambitious, struts around with a cute boy on her arm, and the film never so much as comments on the fact that she’s bigger than the other girls in the competition.  I don’t automatically cotton to fat female antagonists for merely existing, but considering that Claire’s threat to Laney is fueled by her confidence, social prowess, and beauty, it’s heartening that the role was given to a larger-bodied actress.
GLOW: The Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling (2012, dir. Brett Whitcomb)
A compelling documentary about the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling, a short-lived tv phenomenon in the late 80s that helped legitimize women in the world of professional wrestling.  The film basically opens with footage from the tv show of two fat women, Mountain Fiji (Emily Dole) and Matilda the Hun (Dee Booher) throwing down in the ring. Although the other GLOW members featured in the documentary are thin and conventionally good-looking, Mt. Fiji and Matilda also stand out for their dedication to their craft.  The other women talk about their time with GLOW as a fun adventure they had in their youth, mostly sending them on to other careers.  As Matilda the Hun, a “glamazon” heel, Booehr views wrestling as her vocation, having struggled to wrestle in male-dominated venues long before being hired by GLOW, and continuing to wrestle long after it ends.  Dole, a former Olympic-level shot putter, doesn’t have a story quite as happy as the others– the present-day segments show her struggling with health problems– but her reunion with the rest of the GLOW cast shows that not only was she one of the main faces on the show, but that her castmates truly looked up to her as the heart of the phenomenon.
A scripted series based on GLOW is releasing this summer on Netflix… we’ll see if they fuck it up, I guess!
Mountain Fiji
Matilda the Hun
My Entire High School Sinking Into the Sea (2017, dir. Dash Shaw)
I went into the theater thinking that the title was metaphorical, and I was dead wrong. Daria meets The Poseidon Adventure, with an inventive visual style along the lines of of Belladonna of Sadness.  Dash (Jason Schwartzman), our protagonist, is a self-centered sophomore who sees himself as the star journalist of the school’s newspaper.  He makes several comments about his best friend Assaf (Reggie Watts) being fat, but Assaf’s character design isn’t markedly different from the other not-fat characters.  Lunchlady Lorraine (Susan Sarandon), however, is drawn fatter than the other characters, and her size belies remarkable strength and ability.
Patti Cake$ (2017, dir. Geremy Jasper)
An underdog story about Patricia “Killa P” Dumbrowski (Danielle Macdonald),  a young woman from a working class town in northeast New Jersey who dreams of making it as a rapper.  Her best friend Jheri (Siddharth Dhananjay) encourages her to share her talent with the world, but she feels held back by a host of reasons, including her peers who deride her for her size.  Fatphobia isn’t the only problem she faces, though, and she channels her feelings her body– both anger at her haters and defiant pride in herself– into her lyrics.
Deidre and Laney Rob a Train and GLOW: the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling are on Netflix, My Entire High School Sinking into the Sea is currently in theaters, and Patti Cake$ is due for a wide release in July (I got to see it early thanks to the Chicago Critics Film Festival).
    Three 2017 Movies with Awesome Fat Female Characters (and one from 2012 because why not) Admittedly, I haven't been great about keeping up with the Monthly Roundup feature.  I like having an overview of the fat characters I'm exposed to as part of my regular moviegoing, but something about its current format doesn't feel quite right, and I've decided to shelve it until I'm more confident about what I'm doing with it.

Things I Love About Wrestling Pt. 3
GLOW: The Gorgeous Ladies Of Wrestling
If you couldn't tell by now, I love wrestling, and have a special affinity for women's wrestling. When GLOW first dropped on Netflix in 201 7, I was excited to find wrestling on Netflix that had a genuine 80s flair to it.
Also, I would like to make it known that since it is the 80s, there's some shit in the show that wouldn't fly today cuz the show is a product of its time. It also shows how far wrestling has come in terms of characters and stories, not just moves.
Tumblr media
For those who haven't seen GLOW, it's fantastic! Alison Brie stars as Ruth Wilder, an out-of-work actress living in Los Angeles in the '80s. Wilder finds an unexpected chance at stardom: enter the glitter and spandex-laden world of women's wrestling, where she must work alongside 12 other Hollywood misfits. Marc Maron plays the role of Sam Sylvia, a washed-up director of "B" movies who tries to lead the group of women to fame.
Tumblr media
While rebinging the series, I decided to do some research and found out there's an actual version of GLOW in 1985! Above are pictures of wrestlers the Netflix adaptation of GLOW on the left and the original on the right:
Tumblr media
(Ruth Wilder/Zoya the Destroya vs Lori Weathers/Ninotchka)
Tumblr media
(Debbie Eagan/Liberty Belle vs Cindy Maranne/Americana)
Tumblr media
(Carmen Wade/Machu Picchu vs Emily Dole/Mountain Fiji)
Tumblr media
(Rhonda Richardson/Britannica vs Marie Moore/Zelda the Brain)
Tumblr media
(Sheila/She Wolf vs Michelle Duze/Dementia)
Tumblr media
An added bonus about GLOW on Netflix is there's also a ton of actual wrestlers in the show like John Morrison, Brian Cage, and Awesome Kong among others, which is pretty cool to see! (Awesome Kong portrays Welfare Queen on the show bt-dubs)
Tumblr media
For more about the Glow in the '80s, there's a documentary about it that released in 2012:

And if you're looking to walk in between the ropes on Netflix, check out GLOW on Netflix! The first 3 seasons are streaming right now:

For the week of 19 August 2019
Quick Bits:
Aquaman #51 continues “Amnesty” as Aquaman, and now Aqualad, help the elder sea gods move in to their new home on Amnesty Island. There’s a lot of character building and reflection throughout this story and definitely feels like a calm before the storm hinted at by the cliffhanger and the “Year of the Villain” material. Kelly Sue DeConnick, Robson Rocha, Daniel Henriques, Sunny Gho, and Clayton Cowles are continuing to deliver one of DC’s best comics.
| Published by DC Comics
Tumblr media
Bad Reception #1 isn’t a bad start to this horror series fully written, illustrated, and lettered by Juan Doe. The title is a clever play on both concepts in the story of no connectivity to social media and on a wedding reception. Utilizing a highly publicized wedding event that’s being promoted as “off the grid” to potentially commit a murder (or whatever actually happens at the wedding or after) is an interesting hook.
| Published by AfterShock
Tumblr media
Bettie Unbound #3 sends her to Mars this go around to land smack in the middle of a conflict. Things only seem to go downhill from there. Great art from Julius Ohta, Ellie Wright, and Sheelagh D.
| Published by Dynamite
Tumblr media
Black Mask: Year of the Villain #1 gives us Luthor’s offer and gift to Black Mask from Tom Taylor, Cully Hamner, Dave Stewart, and Wes Abbott. It nicely gives us some insight into Black Mask’s childhood, before changing him into essentially a parallel to a Marvel villain. There’s also a bit of a new status quo for Batwoman.
| Published by DC Comics
Tumblr media
Blade Runner 2019 #2 continues to be a wonderful ride from Michael Green, Mike Johnson, Andres Guinaldo, Marco Lesko, and Jim Campbell. This is still a wonderful exploration of the tone and feel of the Blade Runner franchise in an entirely different setting with different people. 
| Published by Titan
Tumblr media
Bloodborne #14 is going to mess with you as “The Veil, Torn Asunder” continues and our protagonist this arc keeps breaking with reality. It’s disturbing and unnerving, perfect for this series. Piotr Kowalski and Brad Simpson’s art just seems to keep getting better and better here too.
| Published by Titan
Tumblr media
Bronze Age Boogie #5 is fairly insane as this penultimate issue careens through the past with a rather nasty battle between humanity and the Martian forces. The artwork from Alberto Ponticelli and Giulia Brusco is incredible. The back-up featuring “Moon-Thing” this issue from Stuart Moore, Shawn Crystal, Lee Loughridge, and Rob Steen is also great.
| Published by Ahoy
Tumblr media
Canto #3 has some more interesting twists and revelations as this beautiful fable continues to unfold from David M. Booher, Drew Zucker, Vittorio Astone, and Deron Bennett. Continuing to build the story on storytelling is wonderful and your perspective on the slavers might change.
| Published by IDW
Tumblr media
Criminal #7 pushes “Cruel Summer” forward as we get Ricky Lawless’ perspective on Teeg and Jane’s relationship and how it, and pretty much everything else, is ruining his life. Very interesting development of Ricky’s youth as he becomes more and more of a jerk.
| Published by Image
Tumblr media
Deadpool Annual #1 is a heartfelt and funny story as Deadpool explains why he’s better than Squirrel Girl from Dana Schwartz, Reilly Brown, Nelson DeCastro, Craig Yeung, Matt Herms, Guru-eFX, and Joe Sabino. Actually, it’s more about Deadpool helping a young kid deal with Nightmare, featuring a hilarious trip through Nightmare’s realm, and a horrifying realization. It’s also really nice to see Reilly Brown back at doing some Deadpool.
| Published by Marvel
Tumblr media
Death’s Head #2 is more glorious madness as Death’s Head, “Vee”, Wiccan, and Hulkling try to work out who’s going to be parts or who’s going to face Dr. Evelyn Necker (the alternate reality doctor who made Death’s Head II and apparently eventually this upgrade Death’s Head V) from Tini Howard, Kei Zama, Felipe Sobreiro, and Travis Lanham, yes?
| Published by Marvel
Tumblr media
Eve Stranger #3 gives us some deep revelations on Eve’s past, her parents, and how she came to live with Delilah. David Barnett, Philip Bond, Eva de la Cruz, Lee Loughridge, and Jane Heir continue to deliver a deeply funny thriller here.
| Published by IDW / Black Crown
Tumblr media
Excellence #4 deals with the fallout of the battle between Spencer and Aaron. It’s nasty, and further reinforces just how much Spencer’s father is a jerk. It’s interesting as to how layered and complicated that Brandon Thomas, Khary Randolph, Emilio Lopez, and Deron Bennett are making this world, and yet the key motivating factors are still some of the most simple, basic human interactions and how we hurt one another.
| Published by Image / Skybound
Tumblr media
Fairlady #5 is a rough one to end this on. Don’t get me wrong, this story is great. Brian Schirmer, Claudia Balboni, Marissa Louise, Lesley Atlansky, and David Bowman deliver another interesting mystery with gorgeous art, and an interesting tie to a previous issue, but the build up for an even broader mystery hurts. It hints at possibilities that may never be answered because this series is now cancelled. Still, this was great while it lasted.
| Published by Image
Tumblr media
Ghost Spider #1 is a direct continuation from the previous Spider-Gwen: Ghost Spider series, from Seanan McGuire, Takeshi Miyazawa, Ian Herring, and Clayton Cowles. As Gwen moves to the 616 to go to school, I guess it makes sense to relaunch the series with a new number 1, but, as said, it’s still continuing on the same story with the same creative team. Thankfully it’s a great creative team and story, so it’s well worth picking up.
| Published by Marvel
Tumblr media
Guardians of the Galaxy #8 is heartbreaking. Donny Cates, Cory Smith, David Curiel, and Cory Petit continue “Faithless” as we learn what’s going on with Rocket. It ties together much of his past with his Guardians tales and his current condition. Very nice character moments.
| Published by Marvel
Tumblr media
Hellboy and the BPRD: Saturn Returns #1 begins a new historical mini from Mike Mignola, Scott Allie, Christopher Mitten, Brennan Wagner, and Clem Robins. This one’s set in 1975, but spans a wide time period as they discover more and more bodies. The mystery set up of who’s committing the murders is quite compelling, especially with the pseudo-occult drawings likely to have been drawn to give a misleading impression of the murders. But the real gold is in the character development, looking at how Liz Sherman is adjusting to some of her early years at the Bureau.
| Published by Dark Horse
Tumblr media
History of the Marvel Universe #2 is again worth it alone for the absolutely stunning artwork from Javier Rodríguez and Álvaro López. Like the first issue, it’s a dry read, but it can be fascinating as Mark Waid, Rodríguez, López, and Joe Caramagna guide us through Marvel’s history.
| Published by Marvel
Tumblr media
Killer Groove #4 is kind of messed up as everything practically goes to hell. I love the approach to flashbacks and hallucinations this issue, keeping the main characters in full colour while the rest are a grey wash. Really neat effect from Eoin Marron and Jordie Bellaire.
| Published by AfterShock
Tumblr media
Last Stop on the Red Line #3 is still one of the most unique series on the stands, even as it gets weirder and more straight-forward as the secrets and truth start potentially sliding into place. The art from Sam Lotfi and John Rauch is incredible.
| Published by Dark Horse
Tumblr media
Livewire #9 kicks off a new arc from Vita Ayala, Tana Ford, Kelly Fitzpatrick, and Saida Temofonte, building on Amanda’s confrontation with PSEP and adding a new wrinkle on politics. It’s interesting to see the problem from the political perspective and addresses some of the issues that naturally arise from a government program sanctioned to abduct and murder children.
| Published by Valiant
Tumblr media
Middlewest #10 introduces us to Abel’s grandfather and it goes about as well as you’d expect. More toxic masculinity, more “be a man” and “embrace your anger” nonsense, leaving Abel a confused and scared child. Skottie Young, Jorge Corona, Jean-Francois Beaulieu, and Nate Piekos are continuing to tell a very strong story here of abuse and survival in a magical realist way.
| Published by Image
Tumblr media
Outpost Zero #12 asks some very important questions as it demonstrates that a portion of the colony certainly would rather keep their heads buried in the sand, ignoring the potential of alien life and secrets from their past, rather than confront possibilities of their future. Great character work here from Sean Kelley McKeever.
| Published by Image / Skybound
Tumblr media
Pearl #12 concludes the series (for now at least) with some explosions, gun fights, and a new kind of order. Brian Michael Bendis, Michael Gaydos, and Joshua Reed have really been telling a compelling crime thriller here, offbeat and with some oblique humour, with impressive artwork.
| Published by DC Comics / Jinxworld
Tumblr media
Psi-Lords #3 is another beautifully illustrated issue by Renato Guedes. This series is worth it even just for the artwork. We also get further backstory on the genesis of the Psi-Lords and the Starwatchers and the reason for sending the “Astro-Friends” to the Gyre. And some may not be what they seem.
| Published by Valiant
Tumblr media
Savage Sword of Conan #8 continues “Conan the Gambler” from Jim Zub, Patch Zircher, Java Tartaglia, and Travis Lanham. There’s a great build of tension as Conan plays his game of cards and a wonderful twist as we go into the finale next issue. Nice detail on the trump cards.
| Published by Marvel
Tumblr media
Strayed #1 is a very strong debut from Carlos Giffoni, Juan Doe, and Matt Krotzer. It’s a rather interesting concept of harnessing communication with a cat who can astral project, coupled with the horrors of humanity colonizing alien worlds. Stunning artwork from Doe.
| Published by Dark Horse
Tumblr media
Stronghold #5 is a very interesting conclusion to this series, giving more information on the true nature and history of Michael, and setting up the potential for more stories somewhere down the road. Gorgeous artwork from Ryan Kelly and Dee Cunniffe.
| Published by AfterShock
Tumblr media
Superior Spider-Man #10 sees much of Otto’s past come back to haunt him as his identity as the former Doctor Octopus goes public and he searches for who is trying to ruin his new life as San Francisco’s Spider-Man. Very nice build on Spider-Geddon and the most nightmare inducing character from therein from Christos Gage, Mike Hawthorne, Wade von Grawbadger, Jordie Bellaire, and Clayton Cowles.
| Published by Marvel
Tumblr media
Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen #2 is another fun issue from Matt Fraction, Steve Lieber, Nathan Fairbairn, and Clayton Cowles. We get more on Jimmy’s family, his legacy, and Superman’s secret super powers, but it also introduces the next sensation who should be lighting up the charts, Pawquaman.
| Published by DC Comics
Tumblr media
Teen Titans #33 elaborates on Luthor’s offer to Lobo. We also get more on the current state of the team and on just how far, and rather villainous, Damian and Djinn’s actions are now in regards to how they’re dealing with criminals. Adam Glass has been taking the team down a dark road for a while now and I’m interested to see how this blows up.
| Published by DC Comics
Tumblr media
Transformers ‘84 #0 is a bit of an oddity, reuniting the Regeneration One team of Simon Furman and Guido Guidi to celebrate the 35th anniversary. It’s a one-shot tale set in nebulous continuity detailing trying to discover the Ark in medieval Earth. Great art from Guidi and John-Paul Bove.
| Published by IDW
Tumblr media
Valkyrie #2 is another great issue from Jason Aaron, Al Ewing, CAFU, Jesus Aburtov, and Joe Sabino as Jane takes on Bullseye. It’s a pretty epic battle, beautifully illustrated, that looks like it’s going to have some interesting ramifications.
| Published by Marvel
Tumblr media
Vampirella #2 is liable to divide people further on this new run as it leans heavier into sex & violence and reveals Vampirella’s therapist as a potential misogynist with very problematic diagnoses for mental conditions. I mean, I don’t think “crazy vampire bitch” is anywhere in the DSM-5. Great art from Ergün Gündüz, though.
| Published by Dynamite
Tumblr media
The Weatherman vol. 2 #3 reveals more information about the virus plaguing Earth and sets up even more problems in the way of Nathan, Cross, and co.’s attempt to restore Nathan’s memories. Gorgeous artwork from Nathan Fox and Moreno Dinisio.

Spaceballs (1987) 30th Anniversary Review
The Schwartz is strong with this one. Spaceballs (1987) 30th Anniversary #Review
In all the fever pitch excitement of the countdown to “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” and its subsequent reception, the 30th anniversary of another space saga which took place once upon a timewarp in a galaxy very, very, very, very far away kind of slipped by. Released 30 years ago in the UK on the 11th December, Mel Brooks’ “Spaceballs” was an affectionate and good-natured spoof of the venerable…

It’s time for another edition of #WCW featuring our favorite Lady Wrestlers! Today we’re showcasing Matilda the Hun (aka Queen Kong, real name Dee Booher). Playing a villain in the late 80s phenomenon that was GLOW (Gorgeous Ladies Of Wrestling). Matilda’s intro rap featured her declaring in an over the top high camp German accent that she ate raw meat: She would then violently tear into raw meat and her opponents. Before she found wrestling success on GLOW Matilda wrestled on the indie circuit on a few occasions because the athletic code prevented women from wrestling male opponents promoters had her wrestle a bear. While we certainly wouldn’t advocate bear wrestling as a sport it is none the less impressive that Matilda lasted 15 minutes in the ring with a 700 pound beast.  Her wrestling days are now behind her and Matilda the Hun is a grandmother who uses a power chair to get around. To learn more about Matilda and GLOW check out the excellent documentary GLOW: The Story of the Gorgeous Ladies Of Wrestling. No word yet on if a character based on Matilda will appear in the upcoming Netflix show based on GLOW.  #WomensWrestling #Glow #prowrestling #MatildaTheHun
