In this week's episode we wade into the complicated waters of Barbie. The mega summer blockbuster just set records as the first film by a female director to gross $1 billion dollars and we're here for it. Because we loved it so much, we also hold it to high standards as a feminist piece of work.
In this week's episode, Sarah and Robin explore Barbie's impact on them as young girls. They also discuss the delightful campiness of the Barbie film (and the breathtaking pink extravaganza that is Greta Gerwig's Barbieland) and dissect the film's feminist message. Ultimately, they may end up on opposite sides of the "Is Barbie a feminist movie?" debate! There are so many spoilers in this episode, so if you haven't seen it yet - first off, how dare you? - beware!
