Lars & The Real Girl (2007) W/ Blake Byles

Can the supposedly icky topic of #SexDolls make for a heart-warming film? Blake Byles thinks so and he’s here to convince me after all this time that it’s still worth the hype! #RyanGosling hooks up with another #Barbie doll in the indie darling #LarsAndTheRealGirl. Join us as we discuss Transitional Objects, the ethics of robotic prostitution & whether Hitler created the first sex doll? #PrepareForPrattle
