201. Barbie with special guest Justin Allison

Movies That Made Us Gay

“Do you guys ever think about dying?” We watched Barbie with our friend and collector Justin Allison this week. It’s the most recent movie ever talked about on the pod, but Greta Gerwig’s 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’s 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 “a movie based on a toy”. It’s the roles that Margot Robbie, and Ryan Gosling were born to play. We discuss the doll's long path to the big screen. Break out our favorite Barbies we've collected over the years like we’re on an episode of HSN. Discuss the flipped gender politics of Barbieland that’s almost straight out of a Twilight Zone, and America Ferrera’s 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.
