It's another special episode. This week's episode is another Patreon-sponsored pick from Bekah. And she chose the wildly weird Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar—a character focused comedy from the minds of Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo (who co-wrote Bridesmaids). On this episode, we discuss othering of characters as presented in the film, we try to tangle with representation a bit, how the film engages with problematic tropes, its presentation of relationships, and the wholesome masculinity of Edgar. Join us now as we break this 2021 release wide open.
