#021- The Barbie episode

The Cearley Cultivation

We hope you’re wearing pink because today is all about Barbie! The blockbuster movie and pop culture icon has caused quite a stir since its release. Many people (we’re lookin’ at you, Shapiro) have denounced the movie for its feminist brainwashing agenda, while others have praised the movie for its refreshing and nuanced perspective of growing up in a male-driven society. In this episode, we give our analysis of the movie and respond to various criticisms and praises it received. As always, we’re not just interested in what the people are saying but also how and why people have responded in the ways that they did. What does that tell us about our society? Funny enough, this is one of the rare moments where Shannon and I do not see eye-to-eye. We both hold differing, even clashing, opinions on the Barbie movie. Can you guess which of us liked it?
