Navigating the Road from Toy Box to Box Office: Barbie's Unprecedented Journey
Manage episode 371961371 series 2948995
Could the latest Barbie movie be one of the greatest cinematic surprises of the year? We certainly think so. We dive headfirst into a riveting discussion about how the Barbie film brilliantly disrupts the blonde doll's stereotypical image. From its clever marketing ploys to its unexpected political subtext to the film’s self-awareness, rip-roaring musical numbers, and a cast as colorful and vibrant as a Barbie Dreamhouse - we leave no stone unturned. Also, brace yourselves: we try not to reveal any massive spoilers, but we make no promises!
As we wrap up the episode, we tease out our next episode (on Sunday, August 6th) with special guest journalist and activist Roslyn Talusan on the show to discuss stan culture. If you’re a pop culture devotee, this episode is your golden ticket to a world of thought-provoking discussions on the do's and don'ts of being a stan.
