The Barbie Movie

Send us a text


Happy Wine Wednesday! Lauren returns to the podcast this week to
discuss the Barbie movie.  We talk character arcs and our
surprise about the film being named Barbie and featuring so much
Barbie . . . and Ken.  That said, there's no denying that
Ryan Gosling was the perfect fit for the role.  And Margot
Robbie was born to play Barbie.  it's WILD to think that
anyone other than Robbie was ever considered for the role -
looking at you, Amy Schumer. 

Congrats to America Ferrara and Ryan Gosling for their Oscar
nominations! Of course we talk about Ferrara's big speech and
whether or not it worked for us.  Her delivery of the speech
was riveting, but we both wish that Gerwig had trusted her
audience a little more with the film's messaging.

This movie was such a visual delight, so of course we get into
favorite Barbie outfits and favorite set from the film.  I
also asked Lauren to tell me who her Barbie would be and what she
would wear.  We also applaud the film's inclusiveness, but
would have loved a lot more LGBTQ+ representation.

Thanks so much for listening! Friendly reminder - we drink, we
know things, we use adult language, and we have a great
time.  Find and follow Lauren on social media here.
