WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:06.639 Vacations. I ever wanted vacation, had to get away. I know they 2 00:00:06.639 --> 00:00:08.960 were a little what I don't know, a week late, Mac, but 3 00:00:09.119 --> 00:00:13.000 both party a little party to the party. But both of us have recently 4 00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:19.079 gone on vacation. How was yours, lovely go I'm one of those types 5 00:00:19.079 --> 00:00:21.679 now, I don't know about you. I'm one of those types that all 6 00:00:21.719 --> 00:00:25.239 I want to do on vacation is relax, maybe drink, maybe do an 7 00:00:25.239 --> 00:00:28.719 activity or two. I am for sure not one of those people that go 8 00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:32.560 on vacation then plan thirty things, including fifteen hikes. That's not me at 9 00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:35.159 all. I don't know about you. Yeah, my vacation went a little 10 00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:38.359 family trip. You know, we didn't get sick of each other by the 11 00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:44.200 end. Definitely not. Also, you know, I might need another vacation 12 00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:48.640 after that's so so tired. I'm so love you know. I was asleep, 13 00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:51.679 So I have a three year old son. I was asleep every night 14 00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:57.679 by nine thirty, don't get me wrong. Don't get me wrong. I 15 00:00:57.719 --> 00:01:00.000 was brody, bruising it. I had a little cup with me at all 16 00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:04.120 time, so I was properly lubricated. But I'm just so so tired. 17 00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:07.480 When I got back. I was like, I need more days. There's 18 00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:11.920 nothing, nothing better, And I get shit on all the time for this. 19 00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:15.920 I like day drinking, going to bed early. I hate staying up 20 00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:19.840 late. Hate it. I do it in my regular life often, like 21 00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:22.760 sometimes at home, I don't get to bed till midnight one o'clock. But 22 00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:26.359 I would prefer to get to bed early while enjoying the fun and the sun. 23 00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:30.079 I much prefer that over staying up till four yem that's for sure. 24 00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:52.599 One three year, just three, King of Queen and Middle Street Entertainment, 25 00:01:53.239 --> 00:02:01.079 Goo Mack ready to talk. Turtles r r rong outfit? Well, yeah, 26 00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:05.040 you wore unless you have a pink one of those. I don't. 27 00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:09.080 I do not. I'm glad. Real visual gag there for the folks at 28 00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:14.120 home who was wearing a turtle's eyemask there, Yes, made for a child? 29 00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:16.840 Did not fit my face? Well it almost did? Ye good. 30 00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:22.400 Today we are talking about and I was thinking about this now. It's It's 31 00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:25.280 not um either of our favorite movie of the year. But I would say, 32 00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:29.639 based on the way we reacted to this movie throughout the year leading up 33 00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:32.800 to it, that this was the most anticipated release of twenty twenty three for 34 00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:37.560 us, I would say that it was one of them just out of curiosity, 35 00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:42.080 That's what I mean. Today we're talking about Barbie, and I'll tell 36 00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:46.400 you what good this a Barbie. This is a movie that well, First 37 00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:49.879 of all, I actually think they announced this like four years ago. Then 38 00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:53.759 COVID happened, But Robbie has been attached to this project for a long time 39 00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:57.960 after Schumer. Once I learned that, yes, correct, once I learned 40 00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:01.879 that Greta gerr Wig was going to be directing it. She of course directed 41 00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:05.560 Ladybird, which I loved, one of my favorite movies in the last decade. 42 00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:07.479 It was A Little Women, which did really well. Then I was 43 00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:10.919 like, Okay, there's like something to this. Isn't just gonna be some 44 00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:15.159 goofy nonsense, Like there's gonna be like a good heart to this movie, 45 00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:19.319 which Gerwig has done really well in the past. Go I would say, 46 00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:23.199 after seeing this movie, I don't think that she could have made a better 47 00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:27.639 version of this movie. I think it could have been a less a little 48 00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:30.840 less bashing you over the head, a little less um. I think they 49 00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:34.479 could have punched up the jokes a little bit more too. Yeah, But 50 00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:38.479 also again it's Barbie. We're talking about. It Isie. So they had 51 00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:42.520 to be a certain amount silly with it too, right, And I'll tell 52 00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:46.520 you this right now. I enjoy the fact that most of this movie felt 53 00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:52.479 like a twelve fifty five sketch on SNL. Yeah, and then when Gerg 54 00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:54.479 worked in the emotional moments, at least for me, I think it worked 55 00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:58.120 really well. Maybe for some it didn't. I think it was hit or 56 00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:01.759 miss for me. Go Barbie is a PG thirteen adventure comedy and fantasy with 57 00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:05.719 a runtime of one hundred and fourteen minutes, just under two hours. I 58 00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:11.400 do think there's a tad bit of a lull in here, and the emotional 59 00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:14.639 moments might slow it down, But I don't think you can cut much out 60 00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:16.000 of this movie. I think I think there's a bunch you could cut out 61 00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:19.160 because they have like six different storylines going on at once, and you could 62 00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:21.720 have I'm sorry, what is happening with your face? Do you want to 63 00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:24.839 call a time out? What do you mean? A bunch you could cut 64 00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:27.920 out of this movie. There's like five different storylines going on at once. 65 00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:30.360 You don't need to have all them in there. There's two storylines and you 66 00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:33.199 could argue there's a C story as well. There's like at least a D, 67 00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:39.199 maybe an E. How many letters are there twenty six? I just 68 00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:42.759 count twenty six, so there's twenty six different storylines going on at once. 69 00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:45.439 There's an A, B, and C story like most stories have. Why 70 00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:49.839 don't You ABC your way out of Here? On Rotten Tomatoes currently go eighty 71 00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:55.040 eight percent from the critics, eighty four percent from the audience on Metacritic at 72 00:04:55.040 --> 00:05:00.439 eighty so this is universally liked. And the main blowback from this movie has 73 00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:04.399 been from the far right, saying that it promotes everyone wanting to be gay, 74 00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:09.560 it promotes down with the patriarchy. So this movie stinks. I'll tell 75 00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:12.639 you what. I don't know if there's gonna be ever a movie for those 76 00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:15.519 folks, So don't see movies if that's your reaction. Well, that one 77 00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:19.319 about the kidnapping. They're really into that one right now. Yeah goo. 78 00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:23.759 Like I said before, this movie is written by Greta Gerwick, who wrote 79 00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:27.480 Ladybird and Little Women, also written by Noah Bomback, who her husband. 80 00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:31.800 These two her husband wife too, Yeah, occasionally worked together. Noah Bomback 81 00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:35.600 is actually the writer from the Life Aquatic, which studs sue very underrated film, 82 00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:40.839 Fantastic Mister Fox. Great film Madagascar three, one of your favorites to 83 00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:45.199 do a marriage story, which I liked more than most. This is directed 84 00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:47.879 by just Gerwig. No no direction from Bomback. I would know her from 85 00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:51.399 How I Met Your Dad? Yes, there you go. She actually did. 86 00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:54.959 Yes, she was the star. Yeah, I think she directed it 87 00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:57.000 as well. I don't think she did. I think she's just the star. 88 00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:00.439 I think she also directed it. Maybe that seems like a tall task 89 00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:03.600 to be the star and director of a sitcom. Was a sitcom? Yeah, 90 00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:05.920 it's a sitcom, How I Met Your Dad. It was the follow 91 00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:09.879 up to How I Met Your Mother. I thought it was just a one 92 00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:12.959 off. All right, Well it only got one episode. It did not 93 00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:15.040 go along. Okay, well there you go. So then is that why 94 00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:18.000 they reboot it with the Hillary Duff one? Same idea? Okay, your 95 00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:20.879 favorite? Yeah, yeah, I love. I mean, who's who doesn't 96 00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:26.600 like Hillary Duff? Oh yeah, I would say. I would say every 97 00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:29.920 gender and every race on this planet is a fan of Hillary Duff. She 98 00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:34.720 was great and Gossip Girl synopsis. Barbie suffers a crisis that leads her to 99 00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:40.480 question her world and her existence, essentially an existential crisis she has in this 100 00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:46.040 movie. And I thought the way in which the way in which is exposed 101 00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:48.519 itself, the way that it's brought upon us, is done well. And 102 00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:54.160 then when you find out how it's really happening, which Barbie didn't think was 103 00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:57.439 the case, I thought that was a nice little touch on everything, dude. 104 00:06:57.519 --> 00:07:01.399 This movie stars Margot Robbie as Barbie, Ryan Gosling as Ken and before 105 00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:04.800 I get to everyone else, two of the best acting performances of the year. 106 00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:10.480 If I hadn't seen Oppenheimer prior to recording this, I would I think 107 00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:14.439 you could make an argument for either one, especially Robbie being the best killing 108 00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:17.879 Murphy and Oppenheimer was incredible, But Robbie and goslingen here are fucking incredible. 109 00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:21.680 I think it's very well casted. I'm not sure if I think it's the 110 00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:26.000 best performances on the year, two of the best. I mean, you 111 00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:28.839 could put it up there, but I wouldn't put it like the upper echelon. 112 00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:30.319 Yeah, I would say, for sure, Okay, that's fine, 113 00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:34.759 you can do whatever you want. Good. Also in this movie, Issa 114 00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:39.839 Ray as Barbie. She's President Barbie. Kate McKinnon as Barbie, Weird Barbie, 115 00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:44.639 Alexandra Ship as she was like the Nobel Peace Prizing winning Barbie. She's 116 00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:47.560 the Barbie that's stole my heart. She is very attractive. Emma Mackie is 117 00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:53.000 Barbie, Harry Neff as Barbie, Sharon Rooney as Barbie, Anya cruz Kane 118 00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:58.120 as Barbie, Rita Ariyah as Barbie, Duelipa as Mermaid Barbie, Nicole Coughlin 119 00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:01.759 as Barbie, and then Emerald Fennel as Midge, which was a really nice 120 00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:03.199 Now that was a good joke. I did like the Mitch joke. We 121 00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:07.160 also have more Ken's in here, Cemu Louis Ken, Kingsley benn aderes Ken 122 00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:11.959 and Coody Goattwa as Ken, Scott Evans as Ken, John Cena as Merman 123 00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:16.000 Ken, and Michael Sarah as Alan. I liked Allen as well. Alan 124 00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:20.360 and Midge were really nice add ons to this whole thing. And then the 125 00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:24.480 more the essentially the real people we get in here is America Ferrera as Gloria, 126 00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:31.720 the mother to Arianna Greenblatt's Sasha. We have Raya Perlman as Ruth Handler. 127 00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:35.120 That was my that's my biggest drawback of this whole thing, which we'll 128 00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:37.879 get to we talk about the movie that the inclusion of all that I thought 129 00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:41.639 was bizarre. Helen Mirren as the narrator in here, which is one of 130 00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:46.399 my favorite things. The movie did a couple funny lines. Great job Will 131 00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:50.200 Farrell as Mattel's CEO, and then Connor Swindel's as Aaron Dinkins. He is 132 00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:56.159 the Mattel worker in the basement there that figures out what's going on. Yeah, 133 00:08:56.320 --> 00:09:00.799 they were all in it. I think I'm sorry, and not to 134 00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:03.559 harsh your mellow here. Yeah. Yeah, but I think outside of the 135 00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:09.720 first two, they're outside of Robbie and Gosling, I think the rest is 136 00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:13.399 almost all interchangeable. Cameos Oh. I loved Siemulu. I thought he was 137 00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:18.399 I thought he was okay. But I think you got it's that flat line 138 00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:20.799 of Wars. That day when you saw this movie. Is that No. 139 00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:24.679 I had a great day for dinner at the theater. I had vodka, 140 00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:28.240 sodas and popcorn. I don't understand. I don't get it. You were 141 00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:31.159 you might have been most excited to see this movie. Is that why I 142 00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:35.320 don't understand I did join a Barbie cult. Maybe I have broken free from 143 00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:37.600 the cult. I don't know what happened. You have someone's there's some some 144 00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:43.080 foul play at a foot here. Do this story to me? And maybe 145 00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:46.320 some people don't like this aspect because it's not quote unquote, it's not the 146 00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:50.279 most original story you've ever seen. Correct. This is like sort of a 147 00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:52.759 Pinocchio meets a toy story. Those are the sort of it's sort of a 148 00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:58.000 weird love child of those two stories. Um, so you've definitely seen elements 149 00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:01.360 of everything in here before. It's just a new spin on it. But 150 00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:07.000 I think that, like Barbie is a ridiculous toy and they and they really 151 00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:09.679 lean into that and they talk about that, and so there are ridiculous elements 152 00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:13.279 of this movie. So I really like you could only make this movie with 153 00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:18.480 certain toys, and I feel like Barbie was a great candidate for it. 154 00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:24.039 It'll be great with Polly Pocket, with Slinky, with Mattel's Hot Wheels, 155 00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:30.080 with Let's see here. Uno describe the Uno movie to me. If you 156 00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:33.960 take a card that says draw for more, You're gonna die. So it's 157 00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:39.519 like a it's like a home to first, second, third. It's a 158 00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:41.960 lot like Russian Roulette. It's a big Russian Roulette. Uno game is it'd 159 00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:46.360 be a lot of splatter go. The music of this movie I thought was 160 00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:50.519 great, great use of music in here, very catchy music as well. 161 00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:54.120 I liked the opening Lizzo slash, like the reintroduction of it with like the 162 00:10:54.360 --> 00:11:00.000 different lyrics. I enjoyed that. I thought everything du Aalipa in this movie 163 00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:05.559 v just didn't feel right. The song didn't feel right. Her as mermaid 164 00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:09.799 didn't feel right. I just didn't like, do you aacking me personally right 165 00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:13.240 now? I'm trying to attack you right now? You say, boy, 166 00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:16.200 why would du Elipa even stand out to you in this movie other than me 167 00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:20.960 loving Duelipa. She couldn't even get the dial high, Barbie. She didn't 168 00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:26.000 even sound correct saying it. That's how mermaids talk. You. Mermaids are 169 00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:28.679 real and they're all white. You know what? Go? Yeah, I'm 170 00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:33.320 I my I hated tena mentie. I'm giving it thirteen hot dougs. Oh 171 00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:37.240 why would you do that to me for the target audience? Thirteen? Uh? 172 00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:43.279 I actually not only did the Lizzo song make me laugh, the Barbie 173 00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:46.799 the Duelippa, whatever the name of the song is, The fucking rifts been 174 00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:50.039 stuck in my head for a week. But moreover, the Billie Eilish song 175 00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:54.919 that is used in the most emotional moment of the film is I don't even 176 00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:58.720 really like William Eilash all that much. She's hit or miss obviously very talented, 177 00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:03.000 fucking great song. It's been it's legit and stuck in my head for 178 00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:05.000 ten days now since the moment I watched this, and I thought that was 179 00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:09.879 a perfect use of a song in a movie. How about the Barbie girl 180 00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:13.320 sample, Oh the Ice Spice sung? Yeah, yeah, that was okay, 181 00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:16.559 all right, okay, but that's a that's four notable songs right there, 182 00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:18.960 and you told me you didn't like the songs. I think it's also 183 00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:24.000 very similar to Elf for a little bit of time. But then I'm happy 184 00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:30.039 that they brought it back to Barbie Land so quick that which was so I 185 00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:31.960 thought this movie did a good job of you think it's gonna go this way 186 00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:33.679 and they're like, oh, all right. I like that they did this 187 00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:37.120 instead, because I feel like if it went the other way, that's the 188 00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:41.639 feeling you should have about the movie. But if they stayed in last movie 189 00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:46.519 Subverted Girl. If so. First off, I think they stayed in La 190 00:12:46.679 --> 00:12:50.360 maybe a smidge too long. But if they stayed there the entire time, 191 00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:52.039 I thought it would have stunk. Okay, that's fair. Okay, I 192 00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:56.279 stayed in La for seven minutes. I'm telling you the movie that's in my 193 00:12:56.360 --> 00:13:01.559 head right now. I thought this movie has a great heart to it. 194 00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:05.360 It's a feel good movie with a pretty good message in it. I like 195 00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:09.720 the message of you deciding your own identity. Yes, you don't have to 196 00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:13.559 fit into this Barbie doll box that they're trying to force you into. You 197 00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:16.919 can break the mold and become whoever you want. I think the message of 198 00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:20.639 the movie is the best part. No, Actually, Gosling and Robbie are 199 00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:26.080 also great, But the message is I think what puts it over the top 200 00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:28.080 of me saying that it is a good movie. I'm not saying it's bad. 201 00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:31.279 Mac. You just want me. You're trying to put me in a 202 00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:35.799 box right now. You're trying to tell me that I need to love this 203 00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:39.240 movie. But out of your way to throw strays at Dua Lipa. You're 204 00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:45.399 the first person to make any comments about Duallipa in this movie negatively. Hi, 205 00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:50.159 Barbie, she's a robot, she's a mermaid. I didn't hear you 206 00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:54.759 say anything about John Cena and the same thing. Oh no, let's I'm 207 00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:58.039 sorry, females, Let's get to that cameo as well. That cameo stunk, 208 00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:01.320 oh for two in our last two pods for John Cena not great. 209 00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:05.159 Yeah, this is a bad stretch for Sena. Right, Yeah, he's 210 00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:07.320 gonna he's gonna do better work than this. Yeah, dude, I think 211 00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:11.519 this very well might be the funniest movie of the year. I laughed out 212 00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:15.399 loud throughout the entire movie. I did go through a bunch of comedies when 213 00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:18.240 I spoke with DJ Bean about this. You can go check out the Brunch 214 00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:20.799 podcast as well, that as his with Pete Blackburn. But I have a 215 00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:24.399 couple of movies that I do think are funnier. I think that GEOTG three 216 00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:28.919 was funnier. I think joy Ride was way funnier. I think that Turtles. 217 00:14:30.360 --> 00:14:33.519 I think Turtles is funnier, but I could see the going back and 218 00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:37.279 forth on there. I think Spider Versus funnier. I think that Air is 219 00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:39.519 funnier. So I haven't seen joy Ride, which I do need. BlackBerry's 220 00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:46.600 funnier. BlackBerry's not funnier, but it's specifically Howard and now everything Howarden says 221 00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:50.519 in It just kills me. Air is a very funny movie. Guardians obviously 222 00:14:50.639 --> 00:14:54.320 is a very funny movie. I think this not only had more jokes, 223 00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:58.320 you know what. I think that Renfield Renfield got me to lawmore. Redfield 224 00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:01.919 still might have single hardest laugh of the year, although this one comes close 225 00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:07.120 when Redfield gets back to his partner and Cage is sitting there that that's maybe 226 00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:11.799 the funniest moment of That's a great scene. There's a great Snyder cut joke 227 00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:15.360 in this movie that I don't think it's that funny. I think you bet 228 00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:18.879 what do your your your beta cut? Fucking we can't call each other beta 229 00:15:18.919 --> 00:15:24.480 cuts this entire episode. Mac, oh, you look you like the Snyder 230 00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:26.600 cut? Do you would you like when Rolling Stone put at number one by 231 00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:31.799 mistake? I did? I said, it's finally getting its proper Do get 232 00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:35.840 to the fucking gauntlet? All right, Mac, Let's get into the gauntlet 233 00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:39.879 here. Fun factor and I do think that it is fun. It is 234 00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:43.799 very stylized and a lot of it is very fun. It's just that I 235 00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:48.320 think that they rush through a couple of these storylines and they don't conclude them. 236 00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:54.480 I want, I'm gonna need you to um really really explain yourself when 237 00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:56.720 we get the spoilers. Okay, one, I had an absolute blast throughout 238 00:15:56.720 --> 00:16:00.559 this movie. I think this movie is made to be one of the more 239 00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:03.759 fun theater experiences in a while. Makes sense because you're a beta cuck. 240 00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:12.240 Yes make shirt right now, satisfactor, Mac, And I think I'm satisfied 241 00:16:12.279 --> 00:16:15.840 by what they gave us because, like you said earlier, this is probably 242 00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:18.840 the best that they can do with this property. Yep, I think that. 243 00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:22.840 And I'm also very satisfied with the Pinocchio like elements at the end of 244 00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:26.399 this Yeah, like when Robbie grows her nose out right correct. I like 245 00:16:26.559 --> 00:16:32.279 the whole real boy, real girl aspect to this borometer And in the third 246 00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:36.919 act, Now, while I do like the dance scene, the big dance 247 00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:40.679 number, if you will not to spoil anything, the build up to that 248 00:16:40.799 --> 00:16:45.360 dance number I thought was incredibly boring and kind of the second act. I 249 00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:47.679 want to say that's in the third act. How many acts are in this 250 00:16:47.720 --> 00:16:51.840 movie? The twenty six acts. So in the at the end of the 251 00:16:51.919 --> 00:16:56.320 twenty first act when they introduced the dance number. So the dance number, 252 00:16:56.360 --> 00:17:00.440 I really like how outlandish and wild it is, like completely out of left 253 00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:03.480 field. But the build up was not great to me. I know, 254 00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:04.559 I think there's a couple of lulls in this movie. I'm not going to 255 00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:08.559 pretend it was. There wasn't St Angeles too, but go ahead whatever. 256 00:17:10.079 --> 00:17:12.440 I also, I do feel like it was paced well, but there are 257 00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:15.759 a couple like head scratching moments that are just dropped in there that I really 258 00:17:15.799 --> 00:17:18.359 didn't like. I thought you were going to scratch your head when you said 259 00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:21.920 that, I'm like, that's great, but you were. You were taking 260 00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:25.079 sweat off your brother was wiping sweat off my bald ass head. Um. 261 00:17:25.759 --> 00:17:29.799 I also feel like, as much as I bought into the more emotional moments 262 00:17:29.799 --> 00:17:33.319 of the movie, I could see people not buying into those. They were 263 00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:36.400 a little over the top. But also you feel like they were over the 264 00:17:36.440 --> 00:17:44.720 top on purpose. Was I made fun man? Or am I a Muppet? 265 00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:55.960 Very similar to that Hallow? Are you or are you? Barby Borometer? 266 00:17:56.039 --> 00:17:59.440 We just did that Halloween. Will Wayne Over time. This is a 267 00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:02.960 very good question. Actually, this might be the most puzzling movie of all 268 00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:07.039 time. I'll go first. Yes, Um, I think because Barbie Barbie 269 00:18:07.079 --> 00:18:15.680 is timeless, and there's as Bart Harley drivers, what's the other one to 270 00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:18.839 Hank Barley too or something like that, what's the fucking day Barley from my 271 00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:22.440 Dad's a pair of pants? Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Give 272 00:18:22.519 --> 00:18:26.519 us the fourth Barley for our mount Rushmore are timeless jokes in here, timeless 273 00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:30.240 references in here, and although there are some topical ones as well, I 274 00:18:30.279 --> 00:18:34.200 think because Barbie is timeless, this movie is gonna be kind of timeless. 275 00:18:34.519 --> 00:18:38.799 Equator. This is above the Aquator folk show. I'm not a hater, 276 00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:42.519 Mac, I'm a realist. Okay, sure, No, I'm telling you 277 00:18:44.400 --> 00:18:45.720 credit union. Who would you like to give credit to? I will give 278 00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:51.720 it to the two main stars of this movie. They encapsulate characters extremely well. 279 00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:56.960 Yep. I'll also give credit here to Gretit Gerwig for executing a very 280 00:18:56.039 --> 00:19:00.240 bizarre but clear vision. And although it was cleared or us leading up to 281 00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:03.000 it, Like, once you got into this movie, you're like, oh, 282 00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:07.039 I see what she's doing here. I like what she's doing. She 283 00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:11.359 for sure put on screen the vision she had. Let me actually take a 284 00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:18.039 step back and give credit to Mattel. Mattel let Gearwig really just have fun 285 00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:23.400 and just proud and poke at what Barbie is, what the toy company is, 286 00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:26.759 what this big conglomerate is, and they said, you can do whatever 287 00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:30.960 you want, Like the company deserves a little bit of credit for that, 288 00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:33.839 right, can you retract the credit now that post movie they're being like, 289 00:19:34.039 --> 00:19:38.039 I think we're gonna do a mateloverse. Okay, I'm gonna take another step 290 00:19:38.039 --> 00:19:45.079 back and I'm gonna take my credit away and I'm gonna give it to Ken 291 00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:49.279 Good Kennergy, Right, shout out Ken Border, your brother in luck. 292 00:19:49.319 --> 00:19:52.039 Shout out yes, because now you know he's a part of the movie. 293 00:19:52.480 --> 00:20:00.440 Yes, he was uncredited Ken Yes, Pants Density Excite bike Mania. What 294 00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:03.319 got you going? And I think that Gossling got me going real hard? 295 00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:08.799 No, Uh, funniest character in the movie the Casa Dojo House was it 296 00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:12.720 that helped me out here? Yeah? Something like that Casa Dojo House thing. 297 00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:17.559 Everything with that, and then also the love for horses. The musical 298 00:20:17.640 --> 00:20:22.599 number at the end really is funny. Yeah, there's there's There's a lot 299 00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:25.440 of fun and a lot of funny scenes throughout, but I do think it 300 00:20:25.720 --> 00:20:29.720 kind of lacks the one pants tent moment unless you really bought into those those 301 00:20:29.720 --> 00:20:33.480 couple dance numbers, I would say, however, and they do make a 302 00:20:33.559 --> 00:20:37.559 joke about this. Robbie being in the movie sort of makes the whole run 303 00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:41.319 time a pants tent. So yes, all one hundred and fourteen minutes we're 304 00:20:41.319 --> 00:20:42.880 a pants tent for those of you tardy to the Mac and Goop party. 305 00:20:42.960 --> 00:20:48.279 We rate everything on a forty hot dog rating system in Mac. You're more 306 00:20:48.319 --> 00:20:51.400 excited than this than I am, so go right ahead, Okay, Like 307 00:20:51.519 --> 00:20:56.319 I said, uh, it's a it's elements of stories we've seen before brought 308 00:20:56.400 --> 00:21:00.519 together here cranked up to eleven. Robbie learning how to be come a quote 309 00:21:00.599 --> 00:21:04.160 unquote real girl is pretty satisfying. The music is great. Really props the 310 00:21:04.200 --> 00:21:07.759 movie up for me. I guess maybe not for goo feel good movie with 311 00:21:07.799 --> 00:21:12.680 a feel good message. I thought, as funny as it was the one 312 00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:17.640 moment they're gonna show when Robbie gets nominated for Best Actress. Here is the 313 00:21:17.680 --> 00:21:21.079 moment where she's crying during the Billie Eilish song you know that You're going to 314 00:21:21.119 --> 00:21:22.880 see that at the Oscars. I thought that was a very good emotional moment, 315 00:21:23.200 --> 00:21:26.920 but again I could see that being too much for some. I thought 316 00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:29.720 this movie got weird enough too. You know, with the premise, they 317 00:21:29.720 --> 00:21:32.440 definitely could have got more bizarre, but it was enough for me. They 318 00:21:32.519 --> 00:21:36.640 leaned into the ridiculous premise. Having the narrator I thought was a good call 319 00:21:36.720 --> 00:21:40.960 to sort of tidy things up. I thought they went too far here though, 320 00:21:41.480 --> 00:21:45.640 with Barbie's Creator all that roof stuff. Didn't need that in there. 321 00:21:45.240 --> 00:21:48.160 Those were a couple of drops that I thought really hurt the pacing of the 322 00:21:48.200 --> 00:21:52.839 movie. That was a little bizarre. ID I didn't care for either scene 323 00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:56.720 with her credit to Greta Gerwig here Goo, I thought already done that. 324 00:21:57.400 --> 00:22:02.160 I thought there were moments in this movie that felt almost like a wes Anderson 325 00:22:02.240 --> 00:22:06.200 movie, especially with the traveling and some of the cut scenes. Yeah, 326 00:22:06.319 --> 00:22:10.799 like very wes Anderson, like the fantastical nature of it. Yeah, so 327 00:22:10.839 --> 00:22:14.400 she she really dipped into her bag on that. I appreciate that. There 328 00:22:14.480 --> 00:22:18.200 was good references throughout this movie. Uh, some again more topical than timeless. 329 00:22:18.440 --> 00:22:22.359 The Snyder joke fucking killed me. Every beach joke made me laugh, 330 00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:26.519 and there were a ton of them. And then the Allan and mid stuff 331 00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:29.799 was very funny as well. Again, there was a little bit of a 332 00:22:29.839 --> 00:22:33.759 boor in here. There was some predictability, especially as you got into the 333 00:22:33.839 --> 00:22:37.720 third act. Nothing groundbreaking, but they did do everything really well. But 334 00:22:37.839 --> 00:22:41.599 ultimately, what props this movie up more so than the music, are the 335 00:22:41.640 --> 00:22:49.319 performances by Margot Roby and Ryan Gosling. They're both incredible. As I've got 336 00:22:49.319 --> 00:22:53.599 this at thirty five hot Dogs my number five movie of twenty twenty three. 337 00:22:55.039 --> 00:22:59.640 Just above it is Guardians three, and just below it is Mission Impossible, 338 00:22:59.640 --> 00:23:03.720 Deadreck Get Part one. So I'm gonna go ahead and a little cop out 339 00:23:03.720 --> 00:23:07.480 for you here, MACKI ready for this, Okay, sure, I'm not 340 00:23:07.519 --> 00:23:10.960 the target audience for this movie? Wow? Where have I heard that before? 341 00:23:11.160 --> 00:23:15.599 See you guys later. Goo you wear fucking matching onesie outfits? You 342 00:23:15.640 --> 00:23:22.279 are so so deep into the target audience for this movie. What I am 343 00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:26.759 enough? I do have the kennerge. I'm telling you, are you a 344 00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:30.680 scrull? Is this really good? What the fuck is this? So? 345 00:23:32.759 --> 00:23:38.720 It is a wonderfully stylized and hypercolored vision that is completely all Greta Gearwig, 346 00:23:38.759 --> 00:23:42.240 and you can tell that she got everything that she wanted throughout this entire runtime 347 00:23:42.240 --> 00:23:47.319 of the movie. And I do like portions of this journey, but I'm 348 00:23:47.319 --> 00:23:49.599 not sure if it all comes together by the end. Having said that, 349 00:23:49.720 --> 00:23:55.440 though Mac I love the overall message of creating your own identity. I'm completely 350 00:23:55.480 --> 00:23:56.960 in with that. It tries to do a lot. It takes a lot 351 00:23:56.960 --> 00:24:00.599 of big swings, but I also think it misses on a lot of those 352 00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:03.599 swings. I'm not sure how many home runs there are. I'm also not 353 00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:06.920 even sure how many singles there are. I think this is funny, but 354 00:24:06.960 --> 00:24:08.720 it could have been punched up more. You could have had funnier stuff. 355 00:24:08.960 --> 00:24:12.119 A lot of this feels like a twelve fifty five sketch on SNL. I've 356 00:24:12.119 --> 00:24:18.200 already mentioned that, and I feel like Gosling is the main one that carries 357 00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:22.279 that. It reminds me a lot of that Kyle Mooney sitcom sketch that they 358 00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:25.440 had, and Gosling is in one of those where he plays do Gay. 359 00:24:25.880 --> 00:24:29.279 I think that that is pretty much what a lot of that character feels like. 360 00:24:29.319 --> 00:24:32.640 And I do like that a lot of ha funny, not a lot 361 00:24:32.680 --> 00:24:36.960 of ha ha funny for me Mac. So I'm not saying the jokes feel 362 00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:41.400 lazy, but they just they don't feel like they're fully realized. I like 363 00:24:41.480 --> 00:24:44.799 them taking shots at Mattel. I like Mattel taking that, but like we 364 00:24:44.839 --> 00:24:48.400 talked about earlier, let's pull that back because Mattel, they're like, hey, 365 00:24:48.839 --> 00:24:52.440 take this hot wheel and shove it. You're gonna love it. So 366 00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:59.200 I'm right around thirty one hot tucks. Dude, I don't know. I 367 00:24:59.279 --> 00:25:03.279 don't know how you can say that TMNT was so funny and then this wasn't 368 00:25:03.799 --> 00:25:08.440 without a doubt. Barbie mentioned being milked once. I would have been in. 369 00:25:08.960 --> 00:25:11.839 I know you would have been in. That would have been your pants, 370 00:25:11.880 --> 00:25:15.920 I questioned, I you know, I wish I could have seen this 371 00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:18.200 movie with you. I question your state of mind. Maybe it was the 372 00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:22.839 crowd. I feel like maybe on a second rewatch, you might appreciate it 373 00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:26.519 more. I don't know. I might not watch this movie again. I 374 00:25:26.559 --> 00:25:30.599 don't care. So here's the other thing. Would you admit this? People 375 00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:33.119 are gonna remember twenty twenty three obviously for Spider Verse and Oppenheimer, but they'll 376 00:25:33.160 --> 00:25:36.839 mention Barbie. No. I actually, i'll tell you right now. I 377 00:25:36.880 --> 00:25:40.240 think when people think back to this year in movies, it's gonna be to 378 00:25:40.400 --> 00:25:45.039 Oppenheimer and Barbie, like that weekend Barbenheimer. I just fucking thought of it. 379 00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:52.799 Barmenheimer is a cultural phenomenon. I actually just read today too. Barbie 380 00:25:52.119 --> 00:25:56.960 just broke the record for a most movie ever made by a solo female directed 381 00:25:57.000 --> 00:26:00.839 movie. So that's something as well. Brian France and it was right, 382 00:26:00.359 --> 00:26:06.680 movies are back like that to me. We thought we talked about it all 383 00:26:06.720 --> 00:26:10.640 the time, like theater movie versus at home movie, Like this was such 384 00:26:10.640 --> 00:26:15.279 a fun theater experience, and the pops and the sound and the visuals play 385 00:26:15.559 --> 00:26:18.640 so well in the theater. I don't think you'll lose much on home watches 386 00:26:18.720 --> 00:26:23.279 like you would on say a Mission Impossible. This was just such a delightful 387 00:26:23.319 --> 00:26:26.160 theory. I'll tell you right now. Actually my theater experience, I saw 388 00:26:26.200 --> 00:26:32.200 it with influencers jealous. I mean, I think that's why it affected your 389 00:26:32.279 --> 00:26:36.920 viewing of them. They gave us a giant care pack, I got free 390 00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:41.039 popcorn, I got free drinks. I just realized what it was. They 391 00:26:41.119 --> 00:26:44.440 didn't have your name on the care package. You were Batty Day's guest. 392 00:26:44.599 --> 00:26:48.240 You were pissed off the whole time. It sounds like you've cracked the code. 393 00:26:51.839 --> 00:26:53.319 Dude. Want to get some some spoilers here before we do that. 394 00:26:53.599 --> 00:27:00.119 I have it. I have it in a group of movie so it's outside 395 00:27:00.160 --> 00:27:03.279 of my top nine. I would have it in a group with the Flash 396 00:27:03.319 --> 00:27:07.119 and Creed three, all right, I haven't seen Creed three. I enjoyed 397 00:27:07.119 --> 00:27:10.920 the Flash more like the Flash. I have it at number ten on the 398 00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:12.559 year. Yeah, I think I have it eight on the year. But 399 00:27:12.680 --> 00:27:17.240 you and I we're willing to forgive wonky cgi. You know it is. 400 00:27:17.440 --> 00:27:21.039 I actually think if we're good at anything, we're good at just saying I 401 00:27:21.079 --> 00:27:25.279 don't give a fuck about the rotten Tomato score in terms of like I've been 402 00:27:25.319 --> 00:27:27.240 saying that all year. I know, I know, I'm saying. Well, 403 00:27:27.319 --> 00:27:32.160 we'll use it as a parameter in our podcast. But our personal feelings 404 00:27:32.160 --> 00:27:36.200 are very rarely affected by other people's thoughts on a movie. And I think 405 00:27:36.200 --> 00:27:38.880 the perfect example of that is thor Love and Thunder. A perfect example of 406 00:27:38.880 --> 00:27:42.960 that is Flash. Let's take two steps back and let's give credit once again. 407 00:27:44.319 --> 00:27:45.960 To us. Yeah, credit to us, credit to us. All 408 00:27:47.000 --> 00:27:51.160 right, let's get into some spoilers here, Max spoiler, I ask you 409 00:27:51.200 --> 00:27:55.039 a question here, Yes, yes, okay, So end of the second 410 00:27:55.039 --> 00:27:56.160 act of the movie, when they go back to Barbie Land. First off, 411 00:27:56.200 --> 00:27:59.400 I like that they go back to Barbie Land. I'm in on that 412 00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:06.880 out of nowhere, Barbie suddenly thinks that she is ugly? Is that because 413 00:28:07.680 --> 00:28:12.279 Ferrera thinks that she's ugly and that has now seeped into Barbie's mind because Ferreira 414 00:28:12.680 --> 00:28:18.000 has been pushing more of like the death and the suicide stuff. It was 415 00:28:18.079 --> 00:28:22.599 more like out of nowhere, She's like, I'm ugly, helped me out 416 00:28:22.640 --> 00:28:26.160 here. I think those feelings of Ferrara's, which, by the way, 417 00:28:26.200 --> 00:28:30.400 I thought one of the better moments of the movie. The quote unquote reveal 418 00:28:30.759 --> 00:28:33.000 that it was Ferrera's thoughts and feelings and not Sashes. I thought that was 419 00:28:33.000 --> 00:28:36.119 a nice time, right. But also, let me take a step back. 420 00:28:36.200 --> 00:28:37.359 Let's take how many step backs? Am I getting this? You have 421 00:28:37.359 --> 00:28:41.079 fallen down the flight of stairs. You've taken so many steps back. I 422 00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:45.279 would have liked is broken at the bottom of the steps. If they explored 423 00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:51.559 the mother daughter like that story more because I thought that was the most interesting 424 00:28:51.599 --> 00:28:52.960 story in the movie, and they just kind of gave up on it. 425 00:28:53.160 --> 00:28:56.519 No, I thought they did it perfect amount. We got it, we 426 00:28:56.599 --> 00:29:00.480 understood it. And and that's another that's a thing too with the fifteen year 427 00:29:00.519 --> 00:29:03.440 old girl, Like a lot of that ship's unspoken. They just have to 428 00:29:03.480 --> 00:29:06.519 have an understanding with each other. They kind of just fall into the background. 429 00:29:06.880 --> 00:29:10.920 I don't agree with that at all, go I thought, And these 430 00:29:10.960 --> 00:29:14.359 are two characters I'd never heard of, Midge and Alan. The jokes and 431 00:29:14.400 --> 00:29:18.200 everything surrounding that I thought is like a purfele perfect summation of like the way 432 00:29:18.319 --> 00:29:22.200 Gerwig handles her projects. Those are two things that if they were never brought 433 00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:26.039 into this movie, this movie would still be roughly the same. But those 434 00:29:26.039 --> 00:29:32.200 small editions show like how she handled it with care and like she truly understands 435 00:29:32.200 --> 00:29:34.759 how funny that's gonna be with the Allen and Ken stuff and Midge and the 436 00:29:34.839 --> 00:29:38.759 Mattel ceo, like did you will fail? Goes h? Do you want 437 00:29:40.000 --> 00:29:44.559 the fart opera that she tried to put into this movie? So no, 438 00:29:44.759 --> 00:29:47.880 I don't. I would like to see that, but not in the movie. 439 00:29:47.880 --> 00:29:49.079 I don't want to cut with that. How are you on one of 440 00:29:49.079 --> 00:29:52.799 those cake videos? I want it separate? Yes, give me the cake 441 00:29:52.839 --> 00:29:55.279 here. I just want to see what it would have looked like. Everyone 442 00:29:55.319 --> 00:29:57.359 knows used to circulate, and everyone's like, watch this video. Why I 443 00:29:57.400 --> 00:30:00.480 want to watch this video? Is that? Why your score we're so low? 444 00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:02.640 Because you wanted to see the fart cut? I wanted the farts. 445 00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:07.960 I wanted the fartsh good. The thing that I the thing I really didn't 446 00:30:07.960 --> 00:30:12.880 like most Ryan A couple of dogs, maybe even three. Maybe that take 447 00:30:12.880 --> 00:30:15.599 a step back and give me credit for that, though I'm moving forward. 448 00:30:15.759 --> 00:30:22.000 I've got a fucking chair lift on the stairs. The inclusion of Barbie's creator, 449 00:30:22.079 --> 00:30:25.559 Ruth Handler in here, I get that they want to pay homage to 450 00:30:25.599 --> 00:30:30.079 her because she created this whole craze and everything. But Ruth Handler died in 451 00:30:30.119 --> 00:30:33.799 two thousand and two. Go, so they have an actor in here playing 452 00:30:33.880 --> 00:30:37.880 Ruth Handler living in the basement of Mattel, who was born in two thousand 453 00:30:37.920 --> 00:30:41.519 and three. It was she pops up again at a later moment, and 454 00:30:41.160 --> 00:30:45.880 those two moments pretty much like took me out of the movie. It was 455 00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:48.319 jarring. I did not like it at all, and if you were remove 456 00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:52.480 those two from the movie, this would be I don't know much high because 457 00:30:52.519 --> 00:30:56.920 thirty five is a good score. But I thought this movie would be a 458 00:30:56.039 --> 00:31:02.319 lot better without those two moments because ultimate Lee that doesn't actually add anything to 459 00:31:02.359 --> 00:31:06.680 the film, because yes, you get the monologue with Handler talking about why 460 00:31:06.720 --> 00:31:10.079 she created Barbie, and it could show that a girl could be an astronaut, 461 00:31:10.079 --> 00:31:11.519 could be this, could be that. So that's great, but you 462 00:31:11.559 --> 00:31:15.279 can convey that through characters that are already in the movie. You didn't need 463 00:31:15.319 --> 00:31:18.240 to add her in there. That was really bothersome to me. I also 464 00:31:18.279 --> 00:31:23.039 thought that every actor that's in here, just like I mean, like Sarah 465 00:31:23.079 --> 00:31:26.400 did his thing, and he was very Michael Sarah in it. But like 466 00:31:26.480 --> 00:31:30.119 I just thought that they could have used the other Barbies and Ken's a little 467 00:31:30.119 --> 00:31:33.400 bit better. I thought that you could have replaced them all with someone else 468 00:31:33.400 --> 00:31:37.599 and you really wouldn't have noticed except for the fact that they aren't movie stars. 469 00:31:38.799 --> 00:31:42.240 I don't really I'm not on that same level with you. Also, 470 00:31:42.759 --> 00:31:47.880 Will Farrell, going back to Barbie Land, there was no payoff to that. 471 00:31:48.559 --> 00:31:49.839 Well, he Will Farrell learned a lesson. What do you mean, 472 00:31:51.039 --> 00:31:53.279 I'm not even sure if we needed Will Farrell in this movie. I thought 473 00:31:53.319 --> 00:31:56.519 he was funny, and actually I thought that the way that he portrayed it, 474 00:31:56.519 --> 00:32:00.680 it felt like one of those fun Will Farrell characters. I'm like the 475 00:32:00.759 --> 00:32:05.000 mid two thousands. Some of the funniest things were between him and Aaron Dinkins. 476 00:32:05.319 --> 00:32:07.880 But stuff was very funny that felt like more of a cartoon than what 477 00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:13.319 was happening in Barbie Land. I don't know, Barbie Land is pretty fucking 478 00:32:13.319 --> 00:32:15.640 cartoonish. They had a Scooby Doo chase in the hallway. What are you 479 00:32:15.680 --> 00:32:21.279 talking about? Most of the ben Most of the Kens and Barbies are non 480 00:32:21.400 --> 00:32:24.119 stars. You have Simul Lou and now of course Kingsley ben Adair, who 481 00:32:24.119 --> 00:32:28.720 we saw in Secret Invasion. The other ones are pretty much no names, 482 00:32:28.799 --> 00:32:30.559 and the same goes for Barbie. You had Eastern Ray, you had Kate 483 00:32:30.599 --> 00:32:35.160 McKinnon. The other ones mostly people we didn't know. I want to give 484 00:32:35.160 --> 00:32:38.839 credit to Greta Gearwig for making or not making me, but allowing me to 485 00:32:38.960 --> 00:32:44.160 like Kate McKinnon again, at least for one sketch, for one scene. 486 00:32:44.200 --> 00:32:45.799 I thought she was great in that first scene, and then they brought her 487 00:32:45.799 --> 00:32:47.759 back, and I'm like, we probably could have just done with the one 488 00:32:47.759 --> 00:32:51.440 scene. No, I think she was fine in the second scene. Yeah, 489 00:32:51.759 --> 00:32:54.279 and like four minutes of screen time's just good. The only other spoiler 490 00:32:54.440 --> 00:32:59.000 ish thing in here that I want to mention that you had seen as well 491 00:32:59.279 --> 00:33:02.119 as There's a night A little nods seemingly to the Bratstalls in here, which 492 00:33:02.119 --> 00:33:06.720 became very popular in the early two thousands, maybe late nineties, at the 493 00:33:06.839 --> 00:33:10.119 lunche table when Barbie dressed up in her girl get up, which is a 494 00:33:10.240 --> 00:33:15.279 very nice image. She's talking to Sasha and her friends, and the four 495 00:33:15.319 --> 00:33:19.720 friends there are the four names of the Bratstalls and roughly have the same looks 496 00:33:20.039 --> 00:33:22.759 as the original Bratstalls. So I like that little tidbit in there, that 497 00:33:22.799 --> 00:33:24.480 little easter egg. Okay, what do you want in the sequel? I 498 00:33:24.519 --> 00:33:27.920 don't want a sequel. Well, we're gonna get a sequel, well, 499 00:33:27.960 --> 00:33:30.480 at least not from Robbie and Gerwig. They said they won't yep, And 500 00:33:30.720 --> 00:33:31.400 Mattel is like, fine, we don't have to pay you, We'll just 501 00:33:31.480 --> 00:33:35.160 keep doing it. Nope, that's fine. Mattel could do what they want, 502 00:33:35.160 --> 00:33:37.000 and again that's why we removed credit from Mattel. I don't want more 503 00:33:37.160 --> 00:33:49.160 Mattel Verse movies. Yeah, let's get into Max and Max. That could 504 00:33:49.200 --> 00:33:51.519 be anything. It could be a boat and Mac. What do I have 505 00:33:51.559 --> 00:33:54.160 in the notes right here? Does it confuse you? Let me scroll down? 506 00:33:54.400 --> 00:33:59.559 Yes, where am I supposed shave? What do you think that means? 507 00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:02.119 I think that means when you have your shirt off, like at the 508 00:34:02.119 --> 00:34:05.960 pool, are you supposed to have certain body parts shaved? That's not a 509 00:34:06.000 --> 00:34:08.000 bad guess. I'm gonna go ahead and explain this to you, so as 510 00:34:08.039 --> 00:34:12.519 you can tell, I am covered in shitty facial hair. You can see 511 00:34:12.559 --> 00:34:14.480 that I don't look good. How about me? By the way, my 512 00:34:14.559 --> 00:34:17.840 vacation beard. I like that. Yeah, okay, So at my home 513 00:34:17.920 --> 00:34:23.199 right now for a while. Yes, I'm sorry, Yes, I'm picking 514 00:34:23.280 --> 00:34:25.920 up what you're putting down. For a while. I was pushed from the 515 00:34:27.000 --> 00:34:30.719 sink into my bathtub because when I shave, I make a mess. I 516 00:34:30.719 --> 00:34:35.159 think that means you don't shave enough. That could be it. I also 517 00:34:35.199 --> 00:34:37.280 have very sensitive skin. I can't use the cream I do as well, 518 00:34:37.440 --> 00:34:43.280 but my son now takes baths in the actual bathtub, So I am no 519 00:34:43.360 --> 00:34:47.039 longer allowed to shave in there. Do you know where I shaved last Thursday? 520 00:34:47.400 --> 00:34:52.800 Kitchen sink? The backyard. I brought a mirror outside and I shaved 521 00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:57.039 my face in the backyard. What did you do for water? Just buzzers? 522 00:34:57.039 --> 00:34:59.840 I just buzzed my face in the backyard. Oh oh gotcha. So 523 00:35:00.519 --> 00:35:02.719 yeah, I suppose that's that's an issue. They make all sorts of men's 524 00:35:02.719 --> 00:35:07.039 products that help y out in the bathroom to control those shavings. Um. 525 00:35:07.480 --> 00:35:10.239 I for me, with the job that I have, I have to shave 526 00:35:10.280 --> 00:35:14.599 every two or three days, so I never are really unkept on my face. 527 00:35:14.599 --> 00:35:16.360 So I don't really have that issue. I think you just need to 528 00:35:16.360 --> 00:35:22.320 shave more often. But where where am I allowed to shave? Wow? 529 00:35:22.639 --> 00:35:24.559 This is this is the life of a man. I keep getting. You 530 00:35:24.599 --> 00:35:29.079 know. The the suggestion to me is to shave at the gym, But 531 00:35:29.280 --> 00:35:32.039 no, I don't want to feel like the homeless dad from Saved by the 532 00:35:32.039 --> 00:35:35.480 Ballot. And then you get to bring clippers with you to the gym. 533 00:35:35.599 --> 00:35:38.119 I know, yeah, no, no, that's a bad suggestion. And 534 00:35:38.119 --> 00:35:42.559 then you know you have the other the other issue of you know, shaving, 535 00:35:43.239 --> 00:35:45.360 Where am I supposed to do this. You know, you can come 536 00:35:45.440 --> 00:35:47.679 over here if you'd like. I have in my bathroom. I'm not I'm 537 00:35:47.719 --> 00:35:51.840 not doing that.
