About this episode
The girlies review the movie that’s taken over our zeitgeist and turned everything pink — BARBIE 💕👱🏻‍♀️With help from film critic and Barbie movie expert Zoë Rose Bryant, they explore whether or not a two-hour toy commercial can be feminist, whether or not we need it to be, and most importantly... BEAUTIFUL gowns. Digressions include manosphere nightmares, putting on our tinfoil hats to talk about The Aliens, and one listener’s helpful expertise in maritime law.
