Popcorn Culture - Review: Barbie

While the marketing for this movie has been off-the-charts, the studio has been surprisingly light on details regarding plot. Here's what we know - it's a comedy-drama directed by Greta Gerwig and stars Margot Robbie as the lead Barbie among the many other Barbies. It also stars Ryan Gosling as the main Ken among other Kens, and the two leads go off on an adventure that challenges the nature of their iconic relationship and the world they live in. This movie also caused a shortage of pink paint in the real world. In this episode, we discuss Barbie's legendary pop culture impact, how this movie stands up to the hype, the film's ridiculously stacked cast, and if it's the champion of the Barbenheimer battle.
