My producers dragged me to see ‘Barbie’ and it was one of the most woke movies have ever seen. My ful review of this flaming garbage heap of a film will be out on my YouTube channel tomorrow at 10am ET.

I normally post news on here but this picture is legit hilarious. Mods feel free to delete if not appropriate 😹

    It’s preachy, but only because Barbie is preachy. It fits the source material perfectly. All the characters are literally Barbies you have been able to buy for 50 years, so I don’t know how people could be upset. Mattel is run by all dudes, and Ken is a himbo. All of these things are quintessential Barbie for decades.

    It’s like a comedy version of the matrix, if that makes sense. In one scene Barbie has to choose whether to stay in Barbieland or go to the real world. Instead of a red or blue pill, she has to choose between a high heel or a Birkenstock sandal.

    It’s actually a pretty inoffensive mirror to society without many plot holes. Not like Lord of the Rings. Why don’t the eagles just drop the ring in the volcano?!?

        Purely as a thought experiment, I wonder what would happen if we did a Clockwork Orange treatment on him with this movie?

      well, Matrix: Russurections was clearly satire, and I laughed through the entire thing, so, yeah, that makes sense to me.
