Can you feel the Kenergy? The Oscars and Ryan Gosling’s pink-tastic performance might be over, but we still have some unfinished business here at Why the Flick? So this episode, we’re completing the Barbenheimer phenomenon by talking all things Barbie (2023) with Jessica from Get Your Binge On. Leave it to Greta Gerwig to take a basic Barbie doll story and turn it into something truly poetic. We get into our personal love for Barbie, how the soundtrack came together, and all the details behind Barbie Land. Plus, we debate the many interpretations of Greta’s genius, including feminism and patriarchy, coming of age, and Biblical metaphors.
