This week on End Credits, it’s a Barbie world, and we are Barbie girls! (So to speak). We had to make the proverbial Sophie’s Choice when it comes to “Barbenheimer” and we sided on Barbie. We will have our review of that big summer hit, and speaking of summer hits, we will talk about some of the movie news that has made this summer very interesting indeed.
This Wednesday, February 7, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss again:
Newsy Much? Obviously, the big news of last weekend was “Barbenheimer”, the arrival of two of the biggest, most unexpected hits of the year, which opened at the same time. But that’s not the only thing that’s going on. What about the smash success of the highly dubious Sound of Freedom? And what about the fall of so many major franchises at the box office? And aren’t their two big Hollywood strikes happening? We’ll cover The News!
REVIEW: Barbie (2023). In a modern age of studio movies where ideas are almost exclusively derived from successful intellectual property, a movie based on Barbie just makes a lot of sense. But a Barbie movie directed by Greta Gerwig, the godmother of mumblecore? That’s something weird enough to get excited about! Barbie may be the big hit of summer, but it got there following the least conventional path. Starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, the picture perfect Barbie and Ken, we will look at how Barbie became the unlikeliest hit of the year.
End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.
