201. Barbie with special guest Justin Allison

Published: July 28, 2023, 4 a.m.

\u201cDo you guys ever think about dying?\u201d We watched Barbie with our friend and collector Justin Allison this week. It\u2019s the most recent movie ever talked about on the pod, but Greta Gerwig\u2019s long awaited film being the culturally phenomenon that it is, it seemed like important ground to cover. Prepare yourself for a no holds Barb-ed review while it\u2019s still at the top of the box office. Barbie is an extravaganza from beginning to end, and filled with interesting story and character nuances that sets it apart from just being \u201ca movie based on a toy\u201d. It\u2019s the roles that Margot Robbie, and Ryan Gosling were born to play. We discuss the doll's long\xa0path to the big screen. Break out our favorite Barbies we've collected over the years like we\u2019re on an episode of HSN. Discuss the\xa0flipped gender politics of Barbieland that\u2019s almost straight out of a Twilight Zone, and America Ferrera\u2019s empowering monologue that has audiences moved. Don't worry we also get into the Barbenheimer of it all, and do a mini review of Christopher Nolan's historical drama that has moviegoers equally excited. Put on your plastic pumps and Dance the Night Away as we get into this unexpectedly deep film that asks questions of what it means to be alive.\xa0
