Megan speaks to the powerful effect this movie had and why it’s so important for a movie to be by women, about women, and for women. Jonathan touches on the psychology of going through an existential crisis, trying to figure out who you are, and how women struggle with societal expectations. Alan talks about the production and costume design that make Barbieland look flawless, and he is in awe of how perfect Ryan Gosling and Margot Robbie are! Support us! Patreon: Merch:
