Nadine and Kelly couldn’t help but do a fun episode about the newly released Barbie movie and delve into their point of view on the themes and messages portrayed in the film. Together, they explore Barbieland, a world run by women, and the contrast it presents with the Real World and also Kendom, which is run by men. They dive deeper into the importance of balance and harmony between masculine and feminine energies, the challenges of teenage transitions for both parents and children, and the power of self-discovery and self-acceptance. They highlight the impactful monologue delivered by America Ferrera's character and the significance of the mother-daughter relationship portrayed in the movie.
