In 1963, a focus group of mothers were disturbed by Barbie. The fear was that their daughters would not grow out of tomboyishness or find husbands. Now there's a ramp in her dream house for the wheelchair and it doesn't matter what she does everyone always hates her. We are all Barbie.
We're coming back off break to offer our opinions on the most formative Sentimental Garbage there is, Barbie. Caroline and Jen talk about their early memories of Barb, Greta Gerwig's new movie, the hunk-to-hero trajectory and the ascendancy of Ryan Silly Gooseling.
The Rachel Incident by Caroline O'Donoghue is available everywhere now. Jen Cownie's Wild Card: Let The Tarot Tell Your Story is everywhere too.
