Sara welcomes back guests Chloe Skye and Zach Livingston to gush over and analyze the new Greta Gerwig Barbie Movie and the way that the world is reacting to it!
We daresay NEVER in the history of blockbuster filmmaking, has a film so well articulated the damage that patriarchy inflicts on EVERY PERSON it touches (yes, it's bad for Kens, too!), and so precisely defined the challenges ALL women face in balancing the contradictory expectations inflicted on us by patriarchy (truly masterful work, America Ferrera!).
And GUESS WHAT? Despite what the haters are saying, this movie is NOT just for women! The journey that Ken, and all the Kens go through is freaking phenomenal, and from the mouth of Zach (our personal Ken) it's a powerful message that all men need to hear!
Pull up a chair for this deep dive armchair analysis of probably the best movie of the year and certainly one of our personal favs of all time.
**SPOILER ALERT** If you haven't seen the movie yet and don't want anything spoiled, PRESS PAUSE and come back to listen once you've seen it because we definitely sort through all the nuts and bolts of the story in this episode.
