Come on Barbie, let's go party! You know that movie that EVERYONE is talking about!? The "Barbie" movie written and directed by Greta Gerwig and starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling!? The one where you either love it or you hate it or you're a rotten bigot or a crazed leftist!? Yeah, THAT one! We sit and try to have a normal, nuanced conversation about the film and its pros and cons (there are a lot of both!). Ready for everyone to hate us, universally and equally... LET'S DO IT.
00:00 - Intro / I'M A BARBIE GIRL
00:37 - What Ev thought
02:15 - What Keith thought
04:08 - Who is the target audience for this movie?
06:15 - It's not kids, that's for sure, but that's actually one of the film's strengths
09:33 - By being so thoroughly goofy, this film tries to shield itself from valid criticism
12:42 - The Real World should be actually real; Will Ferrell's scenes rob this movie of any sense of stakes
14:41 - This movie is all telling and no showing. Instead of using a cohesive story and developed characters to introduce its themes, it just yells them at you
21:17 - Does Barbie have a character arch? Does anyone?
22:32 - What's the theme of this movie?
23:46 - Ev loves how weird this movie is
25:00 - Ryan Gosling steals the show and is the only interesting character
26:20 - Wait, Margot Robbie is ugly now...?
27:30 - Casting was good, performances were good, wish we got more of some of the supporting characters
28:52 - Production and set design obviously amazing
30:09 - How exactly does the child/Barbie emotional connection work?
31:19 - Why wouldn't the Mattel CEO want to make money?
32:25 - The writing is quite bad and often quite dated
37:41 - Why do all of the Barbies submit to and fall in love with the patriarchy so quickly?
39:43 - It's hard to discuss this movie because it's more of a message than an actual movie
41:20 - There is no real resolution
44:18 - Ev and Keith weep openly about the loss of romance
