Why Barbie is a Boring Feminist and Ken ...

BETHANY BEAL AND KRISTEN CLARK
About this episode

Ep. 138 - Barbie has overtaken the world with her pink outfits, blonde hair, and handsome low commitment fragile blonde boyfriend. The trailers and teasers captivated the world causing the movie to explode opening weekend. The movie was definitely packed with surprises...and not good ones. The movie had a strong agenda and basically used barbie to get its message across. It was less about Barbie and more about very specific talking points.

In today's episode, Dav and Bethany unpack the movie and share their pros and cons.
