Awards season is finally over and even though Oppenheimer took home
the top prize for best picture at the Oscars, Barbie still seemed
to be a fan favorite. To celebrate the final close of the Barbie
movie press run, we revisit an episode from last year about the
spectacular femininity of Barbie girls.

Host Brittany Luse sits down with Hannah McCann, a lecturer at the
University of Melbourne who specializes in critical femininity
studies. They discuss how both Barbie and real-life bimbos are
criticized for being bad role models, and yet their carefree,
maximalist, hyper-feminine approach might actually be a little
subversive.
