2:18
Barbie
2:19
has
2:19
a
2:19
great
2:20
episode
2:20
every
2:21
episode.
2:22
So
2:22
this
2:22
bit
2:23
on
2:23
the
2:23
podcast
2:23
I've
2:24
wanted
2:24
to
2:24
focus
2:25
on
2:25
female
2:26
fronted
2:26
movies.
2:27
Started
2:28
with
2:28
Black
2:28
Widow
2:29
and
2:29
then
2:29
Red
2:30
Sonja
2:30
and
2:30
now
2:31
Pink
2:31
Barbie.
2:32
Or
2:32
just
2:33
Barbie.
2:33
Barbie
2:34
can
2:34
be
2:34
anything.
2:35
So
2:35
women
2:36
can
2:36
be
2:36
anything.
2:37
Black
2:37
Widow
2:38
was
2:38
a
2:38
superhero.
2:39
Red
2:39
Sonja
2:40
was
2:40
all
2:40
fantasy
2:41
and
2:41
swords
2:42
and
2:42
sorcery,
2:42
but
2:43
both
2:43
kicked
2:43
ass.
2:44
While
2:44
looking
2:44
great,
2:45
Barbie
2:46
is
2:46
decidedly
2:47
less
2:47
violent.
2:48
Although
2:48
she
2:48
does
2:48
punch
2:49
a
2:49
guy
2:49
in
2:49
the
2:49
face
2:49
for
2:49
touching
2:50
her
2:50
inappropriately.
2:50
And
2:51
somehow
2:51
she's
2:51
the
2:51
one
2:52
that
2:52
ends
2:52
up
2:52
arrested
2:53
and
2:53
the
2:53
guy
2:54
does
2:54
not.
2:55
But
2:55
in
2:55
Barbieland,
2:56
the
2:56
Barbies
2:57
are
2:57
in
2:57
charge.
2:58
And
2:58
the
2:58
Kens,
2:59
well,
2:59
they're
3:00
just
3:00
Ken.
3:01
Honestly,
3:01
I
3:01
have
3:02
nothing
3:02
big
3:02
planned
3:02
for
3:03
this
3:03
episode.
3:04
Just
3:04
a
3:04
giant
3:04
blowout
3:05
party
3:05
with
3:05
all
3:05
the
3:06
Barbies
3:06
and
3:06
planned
3:07
choreography
3:07
and
3:07
a
3:07
bespoke
3:08
song
3:08
with
3:09
irrepressible
3:09
thoughts
3:10
of
3:10
death.
3:10
Just
3:11
stick
3:11
around
3:12
because
3:13
I'm
3:13
just
3:13
m.
3:14
Anywhere
3:15
else,
3:15
I'd
3:15
be
3:15
a
3:15
10.
3:16
Here's
3:17
the
3:17
trailer
3:17
for
3:18
Barbie.
6:01
In
6:01
Barbie
6:02
land.
6:02
The
6:02
Barbies
6:02
and
6:03
the
6:03
Kens
6:03
live
6:03
together
6:04
harmoniously
6:05
with
6:05
the
6:05
Barbies
6:05
in
6:06
positions
6:06
of
6:06
power
6:07
and
6:07
seniority
6:07
and
6:08
the
6:08
Kens
6:09
just
6:09
being
6:09
Ken.
6:10
Barbie
6:11
has
6:11
a
6:11
great
6:11
day
6:11
every
6:12
day.
6:12
But
6:12
Ken
6:13
only
6:13
has
6:13
a
6:14
great
6:14
day
6:14
if
6:14
Barbie
6:15
looks
6:15
at
6:15
him.
6:16
When
6:16
Barbie
6:16
starts
6:17
to
6:17
think
6:17
about
6:17
death.
6:18
Gets
6:18
cellulite
6:19
and
6:19
starts
6:19
to
6:19
experience
6:20
an
6:20
existential
6:21
crisis.
6:22
She
6:22
visits
6:22
weird
6:23
Barbie,
6:23
A
6:23
Barbie
6:24
who
6:24
was
6:24
played
6:24
with
6:24
too
6:25
much.
6:25
Who
6:25
tells
6:26
Barbie
6:26
she
6:26
needs
6:27
to
6:27
go
6:27
to
6:27
the
6:27
human
6:28
world
6:28
and
6:28
find
6:29
the
6:29
little
6:29
girl
6:29
playing
6:30
with
6:30
her
6:30
and
6:31
ensure
6:31
she's
6:31
happy
6:32
again.
6:32
Ken
6:33
stows
6:33
away
6:34
on
6:34
the
6:34
journey.
6:34
But
6:35
the
6:35
real
6:35
world
6:35
is
6:36
not
6:36
a
6:36
nice
6:36
place
6:36
for
6:37
Barbie
6:37
who
6:37
feels
6:38
intimidated
6:38
and
6:39
uncomfortable
6:39
by
6:40
the
6:40
behaviors
6:40
of
6:41
men.
6:41
And
6:42
Ken
6:42
realizes
6:43
that
6:43
Barbieland
6:44
needs
6:44
patriarchy.

7:42
Barbie
7:42
was
7:42
written
7:43
by
7:43
Greta
7:43
Gerwig
7:44
and
7:44
Noah
7:44
Baumbach
7:45
was
7:45
directed
7:46
by
7:46
Greta
7:47
Gerwig
7:47
and
7:48
based
7:48
on
7:48
Barbie
7:49
by
7:49
Mattel.
7:51
Since
7:51
the
7:51
beginning
7:51
of
7:52
time,
7:52
since
7:52
the
7:52
first
7:53
little
7:53
girl
7:53
ever
7:54
existed,
7:55
there
7:55
have
7:55
been
7:55
dolls.
7:56
But
7:57
the
7:57
dolls
7:57
were
7:57
always
7:58
and
7:58
forever
7:58
baby
7:59
dolls
7:59
until
8:01
66
8:01
years
8:02
ago
8:02
when
8:03
a
8:03
doll
8:03
was
8:03
created
8:04
that
8:04
showed
8:04
little
8:05
girls
8:05
they
8:05
could
8:05
be
8:05
more
8:06
than
8:06
just
8:06
wives,
8:07
mothers
8:07
and
8:07
homemakers
8:08
through
8:08
play.
8:09
They
8:10
could
8:10
be
8:10
an
8:10
astronaut,
8:11
a
8:11
veterinarian,
8:12
a
8:12
pilot
8:13
or
8:13
a
8:13
doctor.
8:14
She
8:14
could
8:14
have
8:15
her
8:15
own
8:15
dream
8:15
house,
8:16
multiple
8:17
cars
8:17
and
8:17
pets.
8:18
Little
8:18
girls
8:19
can
8:19
be
8:19
anything.
8:20
This
8:21
little
8:21
girl
8:21
played
8:22
with
8:22
Barbie,
8:22
usually
8:23
playing
8:23
out
8:24
soap
8:24
opera
8:24
storylines
8:26
cheated
8:26
on
8:26
Barbie
8:27
a
8:27
lot
8:27
in
8:27
my
8:27
house.
8:28
But
8:28
Barbie
8:28
was
8:29
also
8:29
fond
8:29
of
8:30
Action
8:30
Man.
8:31
Barbie
8:31
was
8:32
created
8:32
by
8:32
Ruth
8:32
Handler,
8:33
co
8:33
founder
8:34
of
8:34
Mattel,
8:34
and
8:35
first
8:35
launched
8:35
on
8:35
9
8:36
March
8:37
1959
8:37
at
8:38
the
8:38
American
8:38
International
8:39
Toy
8:39
Fair
8:39
in
8:39
New
8:40
York.
8:40
The
8:41
doll
8:41
was
8:41
named
8:41
after
8:41
Handler's
8:42
daughter
8:42
Barbara,
8:43
who
8:43
by
8:44
that
8:44
time
8:44
was
8:44
17
8:45
years
8:45
old
8:46
and
8:46
it
8:46
was
8:46
revolutionary
8:47
for
8:47
its
8:47
time
8:48
because
8:48
it
8:48
depicted
8:48
an
8:49
adult
8:49
woman
8:50
rather
8:50
than
8:50
a
8:51
baby
8:51
or
8:51
child
8:52
which
8:52
was
8:52
the
8:53
norm
8:53
for
8:53
dolls
8:53
back
8:54
then.
8:55
Handler
8:55
got
8:55
the
8:55
inspiration
8:56
after
8:56
watching
8:57
her
8:57
daughter
8:57
play
8:57
with
8:58
paper
8:58
dolls
8:58
of
8:58
adult
8:59
women,
8:59
giving
9:00
them
9:00
adult
9:00
roles
9:01
and
9:01
careers.
9:02
She
9:02
noticed
9:02
there
9:03
was
9:03
a
9:03
gap
9:03
in

The

was
9:08
influenced
9:08
by
9:08
a
9:08
German

called

Lilli,

9:11
Handler
9:11
discovered
9:12
during
9:12
a
9:12

9:26
Mattel
9:27
acquired
9:27
the

9:27
to

9:29
which

coincidentally
9:30
when
9:30
production
9:31
of

stopped.
9:33
Lily
9:33
is
9:33
widely
9:34
recognized
9:35
within
9:35
the
9:35
industry
9:36
as
9:36
the
9:36
grandmother
9:37
of
9:37
Barbie.
9:38
The
9:38
first
9:39
Barbie
9:39
doll
9:39
was
9:39
made
9:39
of
9:40
vinyl
9:40
instead
9:40
of
9:40
hard
9:41
plastic,
9:42
had
9:42
rooted
9:42
hair
9:42
with
9:43
a
9:43
curly
9:43
fringe
9:43
rather
9:44
than
9:44
a
9:44
wig
9:44
cat's
9:45
and
9:45
included
9:46
separate
9:46
shoes
9:46
and
9:47
earrings
9:47
which
9:47
were
9:47
not
9:48
molded
9:48
on
9:48
as
9:49
lilies
9:49
were.
9:50
The
9:50
original
9:50
Barbie
9:51
wore
9:51
a
9:51
black
9:52
and
9:52
white
9:52
striped
9:53
swimsuit,
9:54
white
9:54
sunglasses
9:55
and
9:55
came
9:55
in
9:55
either
9:56
blonde
9:56
or
9:56
brunette.
9:57
She
9:58
was
9:58
marketed
9:58
as
9:59
a
9:59
teenage
9:59
fashion
10:00
model
10:00
and
10:01
cost
10:01
$3.
10:02
The
10:03
doll
10:03
was
10:03
initially
10:03
met
10:04
with
10:04
skepticism
10:04
from
10:05
toy
10:05
buyers
10:05
who
10:06
thought
10:06
parents
10:06
wouldn't
10:07
want
10:07
to
10:07
give
10:07
their
10:07
children
10:08
a
10:08
doll
10:08
with
10:09
an
10:09
adult
10:09
female
10:10
body.
10:11
However,
10:11
Barbie
10:12
became
10:12
an
10:12
immediate
10:13
success.
10:14
Ken,
10:14
her
10:14
male
10:15
companion,
10:15
named
10:16
after
10:16
Handler's
10:16
son
10:17
Kenneth,
10:17
was
10:18
introduced
10:18
in
10:18
1961.
10:20
Barbie
10:20
has
10:21
had
10:21
an
10:21
on
10:21
and
10:21
off
10:22
romantic
10:22
relationship
10:23
with
10:23
Ken,
10:23
but
10:23
they've
10:24
also
10:24
had
10:24
relationship
10:25
drama
10:25
too.
10:26
In
10:26
February
10:27
2004,
10:27
Mattel
10:28
announced
10:28
that
10:28
Barbie
10:29
and
10:29
Ken
10:29
had
10:29
decided
10:30
to
10:30
split
10:30
up,
10:31
but
10:31
they
10:31
were
10:31
hoping
10:32
to
10:32
rekindle
10:33
their
10:33
relationship
10:34
after
10:34
Ken
10:35
had
10:35
a
10:35
makeover.
10:36
In
10:36
2011,
10:37
Mattel
10:38
launched
10:38
a
10:38
campaign
10:38
for
10:39
Ken
10:39
to
10:39
win
10:39
back
10:40
Barbie's
10:40
affections.
10:41
The
10:42
pair
10:42
officially
10:42
reunited
10:43
on
10:43
Valentine's
10:44
Day
10:44
2011.
10:45
During
10:46
their
10:46
quote
10:46
unquote
10:47
split,
10:47
Barbie
10:48
was
10:48
allegedly
10:49
very
10:49
friendly
10:50
with
10:50
an
10:50
Australian
10:50
surfer
10:51
called
10:51
Blaine.
10:52
Over
10:53
the
10:53
decades,
10:53
Barbie
10:54
has
10:54
evolved
10:54
significantly.
10:55
She's
10:56
had
10:56
hundreds
10:56
of
10:56
careers,
10:57
from
10:57
astronaut
10:58
to
10:58
president,
10:59
reflecting
10:59
changing
11:00
societal
11:00
attitudes
11:01
about
11:01
women's
11:02
roles.
11:03
Barbie
11:03
has
11:03
also
11:03
become
11:04
more
11:04
diverse
11:04
over
11:05
time.
11:05
While
11:06
the
11:06
original
11:06
doll
11:07
represented
11:07
a
11:07
narrow
11:08
beauty
11:08
standard,
11:09
a
11:09
stereotypical
11:10
Barbie
11:11
standard,
11:11
you
11:11
might
11:12
say.
11:12
Mattel
11:13
has
11:13
introduced
11:13
dolls
11:14
at
11:14
different
11:14
ethnicities,
11:15
body
11:15
types
11:16
and
11:16
abilities.
11:17
Over
11:17
the
11:17
years,
11:18
the
11:18
brand
11:18
has
11:19
faced
11:19
criticism
11:20
regarding
11:20
body
11:20
image
11:21
and
11:21
beauty
11:21
standards,
11:22
leading
11:23
to
11:23
ongoing
11:23
efforts
11:24
to
11:24
make
11:24
the
11:24
line
11:25
more
11:25
inclusive
11:26
and
11:26
representative.
11:27
One
11:27
of
11:27
the
11:28
most
11:28
common
11:28
criticisms
11:29
of
11:29
Barbie
11:29
is
11:30
is
11:30
that
11:30
she
11:30
promotes
11:31
an
11:31
unrealistic
11:31
idea
11:32
of
11:32
body
11:32
image
11:33
for
11:33
young
11:33
women,
11:34
leading
11:34
to
11:34
a
11:34
risk
11:34
of
11:35
eating
11:35
disorders
11:35
and
11:36
plastic
11:36
surgery
11:37
ideals.
11:38
A
11:38
standard
11:39
Barbie
11:39
doll
11:40
is
11:40
11.5
11:40
inches
11:41
or
11:41
29
11:42
cm
11:42
tall,
11:43
giving
11:44
a
11:44
height
11:44
of
11:44
5
11:44
foot
11:45
9
11:45
inches.
11:46
At
11:46
1.6scale,
11:48
Barbie's
11:48
vital
11:49
statistics
11:49
have
11:49
been
11:49
estimated
11:50
at
11:50
36
11:51
inch
11:51
chest,
11:52
18
11:52

11:53
and
11:53
a
11:54
33
11:54
inch
11:55
hips.
11:56
According
11:56
to
11:56
research
11:57
by
11:57
the
11:57
University
11:57
Central
11:58
Hospital
11:58
in
11:58
Helsinki,
11:59
Finland,
12:00
she
12:00
would
12:01
lack
12:01
the
12:01
17
12:02
to
12:02
22%
12:03
body
12:03
fat
12:04
required
12:04
for
12:05
a
12:05
woman
12:05
to
12:05
menstruate.
12:06
In
12:07
1997,
12:07
Barbie's
12:08
body
12:08
mould
12:09
was
12:09
redesigned
12:09
and
12:10
given
12:10
a
12:10
wider
12:11
waist,
12:11
with
12:12
Mattel
12:12
saying
12:12
that
12:12
this
12:13
would
12:13
make
12:13
the
12:13
doll
12:13
better
12:14
suited
12:14
to
12:15
contemporary
12:15
fashion
12:16
designs.
12:17
In
12:17
2016,
12:18
Mattel
12:18
introduced
12:19
a
12:19
range
12:19
of
12:19
new
12:19
body
12:20
types,
12:21
tall,
12:21
petite
12:22
and
12:22
curvy,
12:23
releasing
12:23
them
12:23
exclusively
12:24
as
12:24
part
12:25
of
12:25
the
12:25
Barbie
12:26
Fashionistas
12:26
line.
12:27
It's
12:28
responded
12:28
to
12:28
criticisms
12:29
pointing
12:29
to
12:29
a
12:29
lack
12:30
of
12:30
diversity
12:30
in
12:31
the
12:31
line.
12:31
Barbie
12:32
now
12:32
has
12:32
over
12:33
22
12:33
skin
12:34
tones,
12:34

12:37
and
12:37
five
12:38
body
12:38
types.
12:39
That
12:39
doesn't
12:39
mean
12:40
Barbie
12:40
hasn't
12:40
had
12:41
her
12:41
fair
12:41
share
12:41
of
12:41
controversy
12:42
over
12:42
the
12:43
years,
12:43
including
12:44
launching
12:44
a
12:45
Barbie
12:45
Oreo
12:46
School
12:46
Time
12:47
doll,
12:47
which
12:47
you
12:48
could
12:48
choose
12:48
a
12:48
black
12:48
or
12:49
a
12:49
white
12:49
Barbie,
12:50
but
12:50
within
12:51
The
12:51
African
12:51
American
12:52
community.
12:52
The
12:52
term
12:53
Oreo
12:53
has
12:53
been
12:54
a
12:54
slur
12:54
for
12:54
decades.
12:56
Dark
12:56
skinned
12:57
Barbies
12:57
were
12:57
originally
12:57
marketed
12:58
as
12:58
Barbie's
12:59
friend
12:59
Christie,
13:00
who
13:00
debuted
13:01
in
13:01
1968.
13:02
Black
13:02
Barbie
13:03
was
13:03
launched
13:04
in
13:04
1980,
13:04
but
13:05
just
13:05
used
13:05
the
13:06
same
13:06
mold
13:06
as
13:07
the
13:07
white
13:07
Barbie.
13:08
In
13:08
1990,
13:09
instead
13:09
of
13:10
using
13:10
the
13:10
same
13:10
molds
13:11
for
13:11
the
13:11
Caucasian
13:12
Barbies,
13:12
new
13:13
ones
13:13
were
13:13
created
13:14
specifically
13:14
for
13:15
Black
13:15
Barbie.
13:16
In
13:16
addition,
13:17
facial
13:17
features,
13:18
skin
13:18
tones,
13:18
hair
13:19
texture
13:19
and
13:20
names
13:20
were
13:20
all
13:20
altered.
13:21
The
13:22
body
13:22
shapes
13:22
looked
13:23
different,
13:23
but
13:23
the
13:23
proportions
13:24
were
13:24
the
13:24
same
13:24
to
13:25
ensure
13:25
clothing
13:25
and
13:26
accessories
13:26
were
13:27
interchangeable.
13:28
Midge
13:29
really
13:29
was
13:29
a
13:29
pregnant
13:30
doll
13:30
they
13:30
discontinued
13:31
because
13:32
they
13:32
thought
13:32
it
13:32
promoted
13:33
having
13:33
children
13:33
out
13:34
of
13:34
wedlock.
13:34
But
13:35
in
13:35
Barbie's
13:36
reality,
13:36
Midge
13:37
had
13:37
been
13:37
married
13:37
to
13:38
Alan.
13:38
Yes,
13:39
that
13:39
Alan
13:39
for
13:39
several
13:40
years.
13:41
In
13:41
1997,
13:42
Mattel
13:42
launched
13:43
a
13:43
wheelchair
13:43
doll
13:44
called
13:44
Share
13:44
a
13:45
Smile
13:45
Becky,
13:46
designed
13:46
to
13:46
reflect
13:46
the
13:47
diversity
13:47
of
13:47
the
13:48
real
13:48
world.
13:48
However,
13:49
Becky
13:49
was
13:50
discontinued
13:50
after
13:51
her
13:51
wheelchair
13:51
couldn't
13:52
fit
13:52
through
13:53
Barbie's
13:53

13:57
In
13:58
May
13:58
2022,
13:59
Mattel
13:59
launched
14:00
the
14:00
first
14:00
ever
14:00
transgender
14:01
Barbie
14:02
modeled
14:02
on
14:03
Laverne
14:03
cox.
14:04
And
14:04
in
14:04
2024,
14:05
Mattel
14:05
expanded
14:06
its
14:06
Barbie
14:07
line
14:07
to
14:07
include
14:08
dolls
14:08
representing
14:09
individuals
14:10
with
14:10
down
14:10
syndrome
14:11
and
14:11
vision
14:11
impairments.
14:13
Richard
14:13
Dixon,
14:14
who
14:14
left
14:14
Mattel
14:15
in
14:15
August
14:15
2023,
14:16
and
14:16
Lisa
14:17
McKnight,
14:17
Mattel's
14:18
executive
14:18
vice
14:19
president
14:19
and
14:19
chief
14:20
brand
14:20
officer,
14:20
oversaw
14:21
the
14:21
decisions
14:22
relating
14:22
to
14:23
Barbie
14:23
for
14:24
a
14:24
movie.
14:25
They
14:25
had
14:25
evolved
14:25
Barbie
14:26
over
14:26
the
14:26
previous
14:26
10
14:27
to
14:27
15
14:27
years
14:28
as
14:28
a
14:28
character,
14:29
transforming
14:30
her
14:30
to
14:30
be
14:30
more
14:30
relevant
14:31
to
14:31
modern
14:31
society
14:32
and
14:32
culture,
14:33
as
14:33
well
14:33
as
14:34
McKnight
14:34
launching
14:35
the
14:35
Barbie
14:35
Dream
14:36
Gap
14:36
Project
14:36
in
14:37
2018
14:38
to
14:38
positively
14:38
impact
14:39
the
14:39
lives
14:39
of
14:40
over
14:40
25
14:40
million
14:41
girls
14:41
by
14:42
leveling
14:42
the
14:42
playing
14:43
field
14:43
for
14:43
girls.
14:43
And
14:44
and
14:44
Mattel
14:45
being
14:45
so
14:45
willing
14:46
to
14:46
poke
14:46
fun
14:46
at
14:46
itself
14:47
in
14:47
a
14:47
Barbie
14:48
movie
14:48
was
14:48
considered
14:49
an
14:49
extremely
14:50
risky
14:50
move.
14:51
This
14:52
was
14:52
the
14:52
first
14:52
time
14:52
Mattel
14:53
had
14:53
allowed
14:54
Barbie
14:54
to
14:54
appear
14:54
in
14:55
live
14:55
action
14:56
instead
14:56
of
14:56
just
14:56
in
14:57
animation.
14:58
And
14:58
I
14:58
think
14:59
we
14:59
should
14:59
all
14:59
remember
14:59
how
15:00
risk
15:00
averse
15:00
they
15:01
were
15:01
to
15:01
have
15:01
her
15:02
cameo
15:02
in
15:03
Toy
15:03
story
15:03
in
15:03
1995.
15:05
The
15:05
potential
15:06
was
15:06
there
15:06
for
15:07
financial
15:07
ruin
15:08
if
15:08
this
15:08
movie
15:09
had
15:09
sailed.
15:10
The
15:10
template
15:11
was
15:11
there,
15:11
though,
15:11
because
15:11
nine
15:12
years
15:12
before
15:12
Barbie,
15:13
the
15:13
Lego
15:14
Movie
15:14
had
15:14
been
15:15
a
15:15
critical
15:15
and
15:15
commercial
15:16
success.
15:16
In
15:17
2014,
15:18
it
15:18
was
15:18
proof
15:19
that
15:19
a
15:19
toy
15:19
line
15:20
could
15:20
be
15:20
adapted
15:21
into
15:21
a
15:21
successful
15:22
movie.
15:22
But
15:23
the
15:23
Lego
15:23
Movie
15:24
also
15:24
inadvertently
15:25
set
15:25
such
15:25
a
15:25
high
15:26
bar
15:26
for
15:26
what
15:26
a
15:26
toy
15:27
movie
15:27
could
15:27
achieve
15:28
that
15:28
earlier
15:29
attempts
15:29
to
15:30
make
15:30
a
15:30
Barbie
15:30
movie
15:31
struggled
15:32
to
15:32
match
15:32
the
15:32
creative
15:33
ambition
15:34
of
15:34
the
15:34
Lego
15:35
Movie.
15:36
The
15:36
earliest
15:36
known
15:36
attempt
15:37
to
15:37
adapt
15:37
Barbie
15:38
was
15:38
in
15:38
1986
15:39
when
15:39
Cannon
15:40
Films
15:40
attempted
15:41
to
15:41
get
15:41
a
15:41
movie
15:42
version
15:42
that,
15:42
quote,
15:43
shows
15:44
her
15:44
owner
15:44
that
15:44
all
15:44
her
15:45
Dreams
15:45
can
15:45
come
15:45
true,
15:46
unquote
15:46
to
15:47
life.
15:47
This
15:48
was
15:48
decades
15:48
before
15:49
Mattel
15:49
became
15:50
more
15:50
strategic
15:50
about
15:51
their
15:51
film
15:51
licensing.
15:52
Mattel
15:53
signed
15:53
a
15:53
partnership
15:54
with
15:54
Universal
15:55
in
15:55
2009
15:55
to
15:56
make
15:56
a
15:56
Barbie
15:56
movie
15:57
with
15:57
Lawrence
15:58
Mark,
15:58
set
15:58
to
15:58
produce
15:59
with
15:59
Rob
15:59
Hudner,
16:00
the
16:00
VP
16:00
of
16:01
entertainment
16:01
for
16:01
Barbie,
16:02
and
16:02
Richard
16:03
Dickson,
16:03
the
16:04
same
16:04
guy
16:04
I
16:04
just
16:04
mentioned,
16:05
set
16:05
to
16:06
executively
16:06
produce.
16:07
The
16:07
project
16:08
stalled
16:08
in
16:08
development
16:09
without
16:09
ever
16:09
moving
16:10
beyond
16:10
initial
16:11
discussions
16:11
and
16:12
rights
16:12
agreements.
16:13
In
16:14
April
16:14
2014,
16:15
Mattel
16:15
teamed
16:16
with
16:16
Sony
16:16
Pictures
16:17
to
16:17
produce
16:17
a
16:18
new
16:18
film
16:18
which
16:18
would
16:19
have
16:19
Jenny
16:19
Bix
16:20
writing
16:20
the
16:20
screenplay
16:21
and
16:21
Laurie
16:22
McDonald
16:22
and
16:22
Walter
16:23
F.
16:23
Parks
16:23
producing.
16:24
Bix
16:25
was
16:25
then
16:25
replaced
16:26
by
16:26
Oscar
16:26
winner
16:27
Diablo
16:27
Cody.
16:28
Sony
16:29
wanted
16:29
a
16:29
girl
16:30
boss
16:30
feminist
16:31
twist
16:31
on
16:31
Barbie,
16:32
which
16:32
Cody
16:32
felt
16:33
was
16:33
wrong.
16:33
She
16:34
struggled
16:34
to
16:34
write
16:34
it
16:35
and
16:35
never
16:35
completed
16:36
a
16:36
draft
16:37
despite
16:37
being
16:37
announced
16:38
in
16:38
2015
16:39
as
16:39
the
16:39
writer.
16:40
The
16:40
then
16:41
recent
16:41
release
16:41
of
16:41
the
16:42
Lego
16:42
Movie
16:42
had
16:43
set
16:43
a
16:43
bar
16:43
so
16:44
high
16:44
that
16:44
not
16:45
even
16:45
Diablo
16:45
Cody
16:46
could
16:46
figure
16:46
it
16:46
out.
16:47
Sony
16:48
ordered
16:48
further
16:49
rewrites
16:49
by
16:49
Lindsay
16:50
Beer,
16:50
Burt
16:51
V.
16:51
Royal
16:51
and
16:51
Hilary
16:52
Winston,
16:52
who
16:53
submitted
16:53
son
16:54
separate
16:54
drafts.
16:55
Winston's
16:56
screenplay
16:56
was
16:56
chosen
16:57
and
16:57
Amy
16:58
Schumer
16:58
joined
16:58
the
16:59
project
16:59
in
16:59
2016.
17:00
In
17:01
Winston's
17:01
screenplay,
17:02
Barbie
17:02
would
17:03
be
17:03
kicked
17:03
out
17:03
of
17:03
Barbieland
17:04
for
17:04
not
17:04
being
17:05
perfect
17:05
enough
17:06
and
17:06
would
17:06
go
17:06
on
17:06
an
17:07
adventure
17:07
in
17:07
the
17:07
real
17:08
world
17:08
before
17:09
returning
17:09
with
17:09
the
17:10
realization
17:10
that
17:10
perfection
17:11
comes
17:11
on
17:11
the
17:12
inside,
17:12
not
17:13
the
17:13
outside.
17:14
Schumer
17:15
would
17:15
then
17:15
rewrite
17:15
the
17:16
script
17:16
with
17:16
her
17:16
sister
17:17
Kim
17:17
Carameli.
17:18
However,
17:18
Schumer
17:19
exited
17:19
the
17:20
project
17:20
in
17:20
2017
17:22
joking
17:22
she
17:22
was
17:22
too
17:23
skinny
17:23
for
17:23
the
17:23
role
17:24
and
17:24
citing
17:25
scheduling
17:25
conflicts,
17:26
though
17:26
she
17:27
later
17:27
revealed
17:27
the
17:27
script
17:28
wasn't
17:28
feminist
17:29
and
17:29
cool
17:29
enough
17:30
for
17:30
her.
17:31
Sony
17:31
hired
17:31
Olivia
17:32
Milch
17:32
to
17:33
rewrite
17:33
the
17:33
screenplay
17:34
and
17:34
approached
17:34
Alethea
17:35
Jones
17:35
to
17:36
direct
17:36

17:37

17:37

17:38
Anne
17:38

17:39
in
17:39
signing
17:39

17:40

17:41

17:41

17:42
March
17:43
2018
17:43
and
17:44
Hathaway
17:44
joined
17:45
the
17:45
project
17:45
shortly
17:46
after.
17:46
But
17:47
after
17:47
years
17:47
of
17:47
development
17:48
struggles,
17:49
Sony
17:49

17:49
deal
17:50
with
17:50
Mattel
17:50

17:50
the
17:50
film.
17:50
Rights
17:51
expired
17:51
in
17:52
October
17:52
2018
17:53
and
17:53
the
17:54
project
17:54
then
17:54
moved
17:54
to
17:55
Warner

17:55
Causing
17:56

17:56
and
17:57

17:57
to

leave
17:58
the

17:59

18:00
2018,
18:01
Mattel

that
18:31
her
18:31
idea
18:32
for
18:32
a
18:32
Barbie
18:32
movie
18:33
would
18:33
honor
18:33
the
18:33
legacy
18:34
of
18:34
the
18:34
brand,
18:35
but
18:35
that
18:35
they
18:36
also
18:36
wanted
18:36
to
18:36
acknowledge
18:37
Barbie's
18:37
history
18:38
of
18:38
encouraging
18:39
unrealistic
18:40
beauty
18:40
standards
18:41
and
18:41
to
18:41
talk
18:42
about
18:42
the
18:42
things
18:42
that
18:42
the
18:43
company
18:43
might
18:44
not
18:44
want
18:44
to
18:44
talk
18:45
about,
18:46
because
18:46
you
18:46
can
18:46
either
18:46
be
18:46
included
18:47
in
18:47
the
18:47
conversation
18:48
or
18:48
someone
18:49
else
18:49
can
18:49
talk
18:49
about
18:50
you.
18:50
Mattel
18:51
were
18:51
interested
18:51
in
18:52
the
18:52
prospect
18:52
of
18:53
an
18:53
open
18:53
conversation
18:54
surrounding
18:54
the
18:55
issues
18:55
Barbie
18:55
has
18:56
and
18:56
how
18:56
they
18:57
could
18:57
poke
18:57
fun
18:57
at
18:57
that
18:58
and
18:58
be
18:59
a
18:59
bit
18:59
more
18:59
meta
19:00
as
19:00
well
19:00
as
19:00
poking
19:00
fun
19:01
at
19:01
Mattel
19:01
too.
19:02
Women
19:03
being
19:03
at
19:03
the
19:03
foundation
19:04
of
19:04
the
19:04
company
19:05
because
19:05
there
19:05
was
19:06
a
19:06
female
19:06
CEO
19:07
in
19:07
the
19:07
90s
19:07
and
19:08
then
19:08
another
19:08
one
19:09
at
19:09
some
19:10
point.
19:10
So
19:10
that's
19:11
two
19:11
right
19:11
there.
19:12
Jill
19:12
Barrett
19:13
was
19:13
CEO
19:13
from
19:14
1997
19:14
to
19:15
2000.
19:16
She
19:16
played
19:16
a
19:16
major
19:16
role
19:17
in
19:17
expanding
19:17
the
19:18
Barbie
19:18
brand
19:18
and
19:19
also
19:19
spearheaded
19:19
Mattel's
19:20
acquisition
19:20
of
19:21
the
19:21
Learning
19:21
company,
19:22
although
19:22
that
19:23
move
19:23
ultimately
19:23
led
19:24
to
19:24
her
19:24
resignation
19:25
after
19:25
financial
19:25
losses.
19:26
Margo
19:27
Georgiadis
19:28
was
19:28
CEO
19:28
from
19:29
2017
19:29
to
19:30
2018
19:31
until
19:31
she
19:31
was
19:31
succeeded
19:32
by
19:32
Enon
19:33
Creeds.
19:34
Now
19:34
at
19:34
that
19:34
time,
19:35
Margot
19:35
Robbie
19:35
was
19:36
positioning
19:36
herself
19:37
more
19:37
as
19:37
a
19:37
producer
19:38
on
19:38
a
19:38
movie
19:38
about
19:39
Barbie,
19:39
way
19:40
that
19:40
starring
19:40
as
19:41
Barbie
19:41
less
19:41
of
19:42
a
19:42
priority.
19:43
Margot
19:43
Robbie
19:44
is
19:44
a
19:44
fantastic
19:44
actor,
19:45
but
19:45
she's
19:45
also
19:45
an
19:46
astute
19:46
businesswoman
19:47
and
19:47
Lucky
19:48
Chap
19:48
has
19:48
positioned
19:49
itself
19:49
as
19:49
focusing
19:50
on
19:50
female
19:50
driven
19:51
stories
19:52
like
19:52
previous
19:52
movies
19:53
and
19:53
episodes
19:53
of
19:53
this
19:54
podcast
19:54
on
19:54
I,
19:54
Tonya
19:55
and
19:55
Promising
19:55
Young
19:56
Woman.
19:56
So
19:57
this
19:57
made
19:57
the
19:57
producer
19:58
role
19:58
essential
19:58
to
19:59
her
19:59
vision
19:59
for
19:59
the
19:59
project.
20:00
But
20:00
both
20:00
Creech
20:01
and
20:01
Mattel
20:02
executive
20:02
Robbie
20:02
Brenner
20:03
were
20:03
also
20:04
determined
20:04
to
20:04
cast
20:05
Margot
20:05
Robbie,
20:06
not
20:06
Robbie
20:07
Brennan.
20:07
She's
20:08
someone
20:08
else
20:08
as
20:09
Barbie.
20:09
Not
20:10
only
20:10
did
20:10
Robbie
20:11
have
20:11
the
20:11
classic
20:11
blonde
20:12
Barbie
20:12
look,
20:13
they
20:13
were
20:13
also
20:13
impressed
20:14
with
20:14
her
20:14
ideas,
20:15
one
20:15
of
20:15
which
20:15
was
20:15
hiring
20:16
Greta
20:16
Gerwig
20:17
to
20:17
write
20:17
the
20:17
movie
20:18
because
20:18
Robbie
20:19
loved
20:19
Little
20:19
Women.
20:20
And
20:20
again,
20:21
Robbie
20:21
personally
20:22
contacted
20:22
Gerwig
20:23
to
20:23
ask
20:23
her
20:23
to
20:23
write
20:24
the
20:24
screenplay
20:24
and
20:25
Gerwig
20:25
agreed
20:26
on
20:26
the
20:26
condition
20:26
that
20:27
her
20:27
partner
20:27
Noah
20:27
Baumbach
20:28
co
20:28
write.
20:29
Gerwig
20:30
and
20:30
Baumbach
20:31
were
20:31
hired
20:31
to
20:31
write
20:31
the
20:32
script
20:32
in
20:32
July
20:33
2019.
20:35
While
20:35
Gerwig
20:36
was
20:36
Robbie's
20:36
first
20:37
choice
20:37
for
20:37
director,
20:38
she
20:38
wouldn't
20:38
sign
20:39
and
20:39
direct
20:39
for
20:40
two
20:40
more
20:40
years.
20:40
But
20:41
in
20:41
the
20:41
meantime,
20:41
Gerwig
20:42
knew
20:42
who
20:42
Barbie
20:43
was.
20:44
In
20:44
her
20:44
first
20:44
draft
20:45
she
20:45
wrote
20:45
that
20:46
Barbie
20:46
was
20:46
Margot
20:47
Robbie,
20:47
and
20:48
Margot
20:48
Robbie
20:49
was
20:49
officially
20:49
cast
20:49
as
20:50
Barbie
20:50
in
20:50
July
20:51
2019.
20:52
Gerwig
20:53
and
20:53
Baumbach
20:53
were
20:53
given
20:54
complete
20:54
creative
20:55
freedom
20:55
on
20:55
Barbie
20:56
and
20:56
worked
20:57
on
20:57
the
20:57
screenplay
20:57
during
20:57
the
20:58
COVID
20:58
lockdowns.
20:59
Gerwig's
21:00
mother
21:00
had
21:00
discouraged
21:01
her
21:01
from
21:01
playing
21:01
with
21:02
Barbies
21:02
as
21:02
a
21:02
child,
21:03
but
21:03
eventually
21:04
relented
21:04
and
21:05
Gerwig
21:05
was
21:05
fascinated
21:06
on
21:06
how
21:06
humans
21:07
create
21:07
dolls
21:08
that
21:08
imitate
21:09
humans
21:10
and
21:10
what
21:10
does
21:10
that
21:10
mean
21:11
existentially?
21:12
But
21:13
Margot
21:13
Robbie
21:13
isn't
21:14
one
21:14
to
21:14
rest
21:14
on
21:15
her
21:15
laurels,
21:15
and
21:16
she
21:16
also
21:16
personally
21:17
pitched
21:17
the
21:17
movie
21:17
to
21:18
Warner
21:18
Brothers,
21:18
comparing
21:19
it
21:19
to
21:19
Jurassic
21:20
park,
21:21
what
21:21
the
21:21
sort
21:21
of
21:21
bold,
21:22
brave
21:22
idea
21:23
with
21:23
a
21:23
visionary
21:24
director
21:24
could
21:24
achieve.
21:25
And
21:25
this
21:26
movie
21:26
was
21:26
going
21:26
to
21:27
be
21:27
a
21:27
Barbie
21:27
movie,
21:28
but
21:28
also
21:28
about
21:29
gender
21:29
roles,
21:30
feminism,
21:31
identity,
21:31
the
21:32
deconstruction
21:33
of
21:33
perfection,
21:34
traditional
21:34
gender
21:35
stereotypes
21:36
and
21:36
how
21:36
harmful
21:36
they
21:37
can
21:37
be,
21:37
the
21:38
pressures
21:38
women
21:38
face
21:39
and
21:39
the
21:39
often
21:39
contradictory
21:40
ideals
21:41
they're
21:41
held
21:41
to,
21:42
but
21:42
mostly
21:42
the
21:43
patriarchy,
21:43
the
21:44
existentialism
21:44
and
21:45
capitalism.
21:46
Barbie's
21:47
animation
21:48
history
21:48
in
21:48
movies
21:49
has
21:49
been
21:50
long
21:50
and
21:50
fairly
21:51
fruitful.
21:51
She
21:52
starred
21:52
in
21:52
no
21:52
less
21:53
than
21:53
44
21:54
animated
21:54
movies
21:55
from
21:55
2001
21:56
to
21:56
to
21:56
2025,
21:57
as
21:57
well
21:58
as
21:58
several
21:58
animated
21:59
TV
21:59
series,
22:00
specials,
22:01
short
22:01
films,
22:02
and
22:02
as
22:02
well
22:02
her
22:03
appearances
22:03
in
22:03
Toy
22:04
Story
22:04
2
22:04
and
22:05
3.
22:05
But
22:05
this
22:06
would
22:06
be
22:06
Barbie's
22:07
first
22:07
time
22:07
in
22:08
live
22:08
action.
22:09
Margot
22:10
Robbie's
22:10

22:12
of
22:12
many
22:13
Barbies
22:13
populating
22:14
Barbieland
22:15
and
22:15
also
22:16

as

include

also
22:27
cameos
22:28
as
22:28
Mermaid
22:28
Barbie
22:29
as
22:29
well
22:30
as
22:30
appearing
22:30
on
22:30
the
22:31
soundtrack,
22:31
which
22:31
I
22:32
will
22:32
come
22:32
to
22:32
a
22:32
bit
22:32
later.
22:33
Ryan

Ken,
22:36
whose
22:36
only

job
22:37
is

22:38
Gosling's
22:38
announcement
22:39
as
22:39
Ken
22:39
had
22:40
a
22:40
few
22:40
articles
22:41
stating
22:41
that
22:41
he
22:41
was
22:42
too
22:42
old
22:42
to
22:42
play
22:43
him,
22:43
which
22:43
is
22:43
interesting
22:44
because
22:44
it's
22:44
usually
22:45
women
22:45
who
22:45
are
22:45
too
22:46
old
22:46
to

22:46

22:47
in

a

including

22:56

this

was
22:57
subsequently
22:57
incorporated
22:58
into
22:58
the
22:59
film,
22:59
sparking
23:00
jealousy
23:00
in
23:00
Gosling's
23:01
character
23:01
and
23:02
leading
23:02
to
23:02
the
23:02
rivalry
23:03
that
23:03
plays
23:03
out.
23:04
We
23:04
never
23:04
get
23:05
to
23:05
see
23:05
them
23:05
beat
23:05
each
23:06
other
23:06
off
23:06
though,
23:06
unfortunately.
23:08
But
23:08
this
23:08
is
23:08
a
23:08
movie
23:09
about
23:09
Barbie,
23:09
not
23:10
Ken,
23:10
and
23:10
so
23:10
most
23:11
of
23:11
the
23:11
Kens
23:11
are
23:12
merely
23:12
just
23:12
background,
23:13
including
23:14
some
23:14
of
23:14
Britain's
23:15
best
23:15

23:15

23:15

23:15
like
23:16
Kingsley,
23:16
Ben
23:16
Adir
23:17
and
23:17
Shuti

23:18
who
23:18
found
23:18
out
23:19
he
23:19
was
23:19

23:23
to
23:23
a

the

23:35
Robbie

him
23:36
to
23:36

a

23:52
Greta
23:52
Gerwig
23:53
opted
23:53
to
23:53
use
23:53
filming
23:54
techniques
23:54
from
23:54
the
23:54
1950s
23:55
to
23:56
create
23:56
a
23:56
period
23:57
accurate
23:57

23:58
including
23:59

special

24:01
Barbieland's
24:02
production
24:02
design
24:03
is
24:03
the
24:03
stuff
24:04
of
24:04
pure
24:04
Hollywood
24:05
escapism
24:06
and
24:06
fantasy.

of

nature,
24:14
no

24:15

24:15
there
24:15
is
24:15
the

24:16
of

They've

been

nominated
24:38
for
24:38
six
24:38
Academy
24:39
Awards
24:39
each
24:40
and
24:40
they
24:40
were
24:40
pivotal
24:41
to
24:41
making
24:41
Barbieland
24:42
look
24:43
like
24:43
Barbieland.
24:44
Taking
24:45
inspiration
24:45
from
24:45
Barbie's
24:46
history
24:47
as
24:47
well
24:47
as
24:47
mid
24:47
century
24:48
Palm
24:48
Springs
24:49
and
24:49
old
24:49
Hollywood,
24:50
Greta
24:51
Gerwig
24:51
would
24:51
dub
24:51
Barbieland
24:52
authentic
24:53
artificiality.
24:55
There
24:55
is
24:55
CGI
24:56
in
24:56
Barbieland,
24:57
but
24:57
it's
24:57
used
24:57
very
24:58
sparingly
24:58
and
24:59
never
24:59
on
24:59
the
24:59
set
25:00
itself.
25:01
It
25:01
is
25:01
a
25:01
complete
25:02
set
25:02
with
25:02
painted
25:03
backdrops.
25:03
And
25:04
Barbieland
25:04
comes
25:05
with
25:05
its
25:05
own
25:05
set
25:05
of
25:06
rules.
25:06
There's
25:07
no
25:07
black,
25:07
no
25:08
white,
25:08
no
25:09
chrome,
25:09
no
25:10
physical
25:10
elements
25:10
like
25:11
sand,
25:11
water
25:12
or
25:12
fire,
25:13
no
25:13
electricity
25:14
or
25:14
wind.
25:15
Barbie's
25:16
world
25:16
exists
25:17
as
25:17
if
25:17
it
25:17
were
25:17
for
25:18
a
25:18
child.
25:19
Her
25:19
wardrobe
25:20
has
25:20
plastic
25:20
wrap
25:20
over
25:21
it
25:21
and
25:21
outfits
25:22
magically
25:22
appear
25:23
on
25:23
Barbie
25:23
and
25:24
for
25:24
Barbie.
25:25
Proportions
25:25
for
25:26
the
25:26
set
25:26
echoed
25:27
an
25:27
actual
25:27
Barbie
25:28
dream
25:28
house,
25:28
where
25:29
Barbie
25:29
is
25:29
just
25:30
a
25:30
tiny
25:30
bit
25:30
too
25:31
big
25:31
for
25:31
her
25:31
furniture
25:32
and
25:32
car.
25:33
They
25:33
reduced
25:33
everything
25:34
in
25:34
size
25:34
by
25:34
23%.
25:36
Barbieland
25:37
was
25:37
built
25:37
across
25:38
seven
25:38
different
25:38
stages
25:39
at
25:39
Leavestone,
25:40
the
25:40
largest
25:41
of
25:41
which
25:41
was
25:41
250
25:42
foot
25:42
long,
25:43
140
25:43
foot
25:44
wide
25:44
and
25:44
50
25:45
foot
25:45
high.
25:46
Barbie's
25:47
dream
25:47
house
25:47
is
25:47
a
25:47
reinterpretation
25:48
of
25:48
Richard
25:49
Neutra's
25:49
1946
25:50
Kaufman
25:51
House,
25:51
the
25:52
property
25:52
that
25:52
defined
25:53
Palm
25:53
Springs
25:54
modernist
25:54
design,
25:55
but
25:55
with
25:55
a
25:55
crucial
25:56
difference.
25:56
Because
25:56
the
25:57
Dream
25:57
house
25:57
has
25:57
no
25:58
walls
25:58
or
25:58
doors,
25:59
because
25:59
children
26:00
don't
26:00
walk
26:00
their
26:01
dolls
26:01
down
26:01
the
26:01
stairs,
26:02
they
26:02
pick
26:02
them
26:03
up
26:03
and
26:03
move
26:03
them.
26:04
Hence
26:04
no
26:04
doors.
26:05
The
26:05
skyline
26:06
of
26:06
Barbieland
26:07
was
26:07
a
26:07
250
26:07
foot
26:08
long,
26:08
hand
26:09
painted,
26:09
bubblegum
26:10
blue
26:10
skyline
26:10
of
26:11
the

26:12
Mountains.
26:13
Set
26:14
design
26:14
was
26:14
also
26:14
inspired
26:15
by
26:15
the
26:15

26:16
of
26:16
Slim
26:16
Ahrens,
26:17
who
26:17
took
26:18
photos
26:18
of
26:18
socialites
26:19
and
26:19

26:20
with
26:20
his

26:21
principally
26:21
appearing
26:22
in

26:25
He

his
26:26
most
26:26
praised
26:27
photo
26:27
in
26:27

which

a

in

full
26:39
formal

26:40
And
26:40
there's
26:40
a
26:41
lot
26:41
of
26:41
pink
26:41
in
26:42
this
26:42
movie.
26:43
Barbie
26:43
made
26:43
headlines
26:44
during
26:44
the
26:44
pandemic
26:45
when
26:45
it
26:45
was
26:45
reported
26:45
that
26:46
global
26:46
supply
26:47
of
26:47
pink
26:47
paint
26:48
was
26:48
running
26:48
out.
26:49
It
26:49
wasn't
26:50
just
26:50
Barbie.
26:51
Record
26:51
low
26:51
temperatures
26:52

26:53
in
26:53
Texas
26:54
in
26:54
2021
26:55
had
26:55
affected
26:56
the
26:56
stock
26:56
and
26:57
the
26:57
company
26:57
was
26:57
struggling
26:58
to
26:58
meet
26:58
general
26:59
demand.
26:59
But
27:00
all
27:00
publicity
27:01
is
27:01
good
27:01
publicity
27:02
that
27:02
all
27:02
world's
27:03
pink
27:03
paint
27:04
was
27:04
going
27:04
to
27:04
build
27:04
Barbieland.
27:06
The
27:06
actual
27:06
shades
27:07
of
27:07
pink
27:07
took
27:07
a
27:07
long
27:08
time
27:08
to
27:08
reach.
27:09
They're
27:09
based
27:09
on
27:09
a
27:09
Roscoe
27:10
pigment
27:10
mixed
27:11
with
27:11
white
27:12
to
27:12
create
27:12
various
27:13
shades.
27:14
The
27:14
palette
27:14
chosen
27:15
for
27:15
the
27:15
scenes
27:15
in
27:15
Barbieland
27:16
were
27:16
inspired
27:17
by
27:17
the
27:17
classic
27:18
three
27:18
strip
27:18
Technicolor
27:19
look
27:19
which
27:20
was
27:20
dubbed
27:20
Techno

a

lighting
27:26
system
27:26
for
27:26
Barbieland
27:27
that
27:27
was
27:27
basically
27:28
seven
27:29
massive
27:29
suns
27:30
rigged
27:31
so
27:31
every

27:32
be
27:32
lit
27:33

angle
27:34
because
27:34
the
27:35
lighting
27:35
always
27:36
has
27:36
to
27:36
be
27:36
perfect
27:37
in
27:37
Barbieland.
27:38
Carrying
27:39

27:39
the

27:41

27:42
The
27:42
costume
27:43
design
27:43
here
27:43
is
27:44
Jacqueline
27:44
Duran,
27:45
seven
27:46
time
27:46
Academy
27:46

27:47
nominee
27:47
and
27:47
two
27:48

27:48
winner
27:48
for
27:48
Anna
27:49
Karenina
27:49
and
27:49
Little
27:50

27:50
Barbie
27:51
was
27:51
her
27:51
seventh
27:52
Academy
27:52

27:53
nomination
27:53
for
27:53
Best
27:54
Costume

design.
27:55
And
27:55
playing
27:55
with
27:56
Barbie
27:56
is
27:56
inherently
27:57
playing
27:57
with
27:57
fashion.
27:58
So
27:58
Duran
27:59
Drew
27:59
from
27:59
the
28:00
1950s
28:00
and
28:01
60s
28:01
Retro
28:01
looks
28:02
for
28:02
Barbie
28:03
for
28:03
When
28:03
we
28:03
meet
28:03
her
28:04
with
28:04
only
28:04
15
28:05
colour
28:05
combinations
28:06
and
28:06
mostly
28:07
pastels.
28:07
Borrowing
28:08
from
28:08
Barbie's
28:09
real
28:09
historical
28:09
fashion
28:10
but
28:10
also
28:11
going
28:11
to
28:11
random
28:12
shops
28:12
to
28:12
find
28:12
pink
28:13
items
28:14
for
28:14
Barbie
28:15
as
28:15
a
28:15
doctor.
28:15
The
28:15
costume
28:16
team
28:16
were
28:16
inspired
28:17
by
28:17
60
28:18
years
28:18
of
28:18
Barbie
28:19
doctor
28:19
outfits.
28:20
All
28:20
of
28:20
the
28:20
Kens
28:21
originally
28:21
matched
28:22
their
28:22
Barbie
28:22
but
28:23
with
28:23
fewer
28:23
options,
28:24
but
28:24
as
28:24
the
28:24
movie
28:25
progresses
28:25
so
28:26
does
28:26
the
28:26
fashion.
28:27
Many
28:27
of
28:27
the
28:27
outfits
28:28
were
28:28
inspired
28:28
by
28:29
actual
28:29
Barbie
28:30
fashion
28:30
but
28:30
updated
28:31
like
28:31
the
28:32
acid
28:32
neon
28:32
skating
28:33
look
28:33
for
28:33
Venice
28:34
beach
28:34
which
28:34
is
28:35
Based
28:35
on
28:35
the
28:35
1994
28:36
Hot
28:36
Skating
28:37
Barbie
28:38
which
28:38
is
28:38
a
28:39
full
28:39
on
28:39
sleeved
28:39
catsuit.
28:40
But
28:41
they
28:41
copied
28:41
the
28:41
pattern
28:42
of
28:42
the
28:42
catsuit
28:42
for
28:43
the
28:43
main
28:43
part
28:43
of
28:43
the
28:44
body
28:44
and
28:44
updated
28:45
the
28:45
look
28:45
to
28:45
make
28:46
it
28:46
very
28:46
80s
28:46
feeling.
28:47
They
28:47
were
28:48
also
28:48
able
28:48
to
28:48
pull
28:49
from
28:49
Chanel's
28:50

28:50

28:51

28:53

28:53
and
28:54

28:55
including
28:55
a

29:00

29:02

29:04

29:04

29:05

29:11
is
29:12
vintage
29:12
Chanel,
29:13
but
29:13
they
29:13
didn't
29:14
have
29:14
a
29:14
male
29:14
version
29:15
for
29:15
Ken,
29:16
so
29:16
Chanel
29:17
kindly
29:17
made

29:21
And

a
29:21
movie
29:22
with
29:22
such
29:22
lavish
29:22

29:23
warrants
29:23
a

29:43
calls
29:43
beautiful.
29:44
This
29:45
cameo
29:45
was
29:45
mistakenly
29:46
attributed
29:47
by
29:47

29:54
of
29:54
course,
29:55
the
29:55
Daily
29:55

29:56
got
29:56
it
29:56
wrong.
29:57

are

also
29:58

29:58
in

30:20
for
30:20
the
30:21
transition
30:21
between
30:21
Barbieland
30:22
and
30:22
the
30:22
real
30:23
world,
30:23
where
30:24
Barbie
30:24
uses
30:24
a
30:24
variety
30:25
of
30:25
vehicles
30:25
and
30:26
travels
30:26
across
30:26
magical

30:28
including
30:28

30:29
to
30:29
get
30:29
to
30:29
the
30:30
real
30:30
world.
30:31
The
30:31
vehicles
30:31
were
30:32
practical
30:32
stationary
30:33
vehicles
30:33
that
30:34
hovered
30:34
over
30:34
a
30:34
moving
30:35
background
30:35
and
30:35
foreground,
30:36
with
30:36
the
30:37
background
30:37
moving
30:37
slower
30:38
than
30:38
the
30:38
foreground,
30:39
which
30:39
is
30:39
basically
30:39
achieved
30:40
by
30:40
technicians
30:40
on
30:41
set
30:41
pulling
30:41
ropes
30:42
to
30:42
make
30:42
the
30:43
conveyor
30:43
belted
30:43
foreground
30:44
move.
30:44
The
30:45
only
30:45
one
30:45
that
30:45
wasn't
30:46
a
30:46
set
30:46
like
30:46
this
30:47
was
30:47
the
30:47
camper
30:48
van
30:48
set.
30:49
Greta
30:49
Gerwig
30:50
insisted
30:50
on
30:50
using
30:51
traditions
30:51
and
30:51
techniques
30:52
from
30:52
filmmaking
30:53
in
30:53
the
30:53
50s
30:54
because
30:54
that's
30:54
when
30:55
Barbie
30:55
debuted.
30:56
They
30:56
had
30:56
practical
30:57
miniatures
30:57
built,
30:58
scanned
30:58
and
30:59
captured.
30:59
And
31:00
despite
31:00
having
31:01
1300
31:01
visual
31:02
effects
31:02
shots,
31:03
the
31:03
film
31:03
prioritizes
31:04
practical
31:05
techniques
31:05
and
31:06
virtual
31:06
production
31:07
techniques
31:07
and
31:07
miniature
31:08
work.
31:08
And
31:09
this
31:09
inspired
31:09
the
31:10
creation
31:10
of
31:10
hundreds
31:11
of
31:11
digital
31:11
miniatures
31:12
to
31:12
populate
31:12
Barbie
31:13
lab
31:13
vistas,
31:14
set
31:14
extensions,
31:15
backdrops,
31:16
and
31:16
of
31:16
course,
31:17
some
31:17
full
31:17

31:18

31:26
on

the

31:27
deployed
31:27
in
31:27
the
31:28

31:28
and
31:28
also
31:29
in
31:29
the
31:29
car
31:29
pursuit
31:30
sequence.
31:30
Now,
31:31
this
31:31
movie
31:31
is
31:32
just
31:32
a
31:32
two
31:32
hour
31:33
ad
31:33
for
31:33
Barbie.
31:34
It's
31:35
not
31:35
a
31:35
two
31:35
hour
31:36
ad
31:36
for
31:36
the
31:36
2024
31:37
Chevrolet
31:38
Blazer
31:38
SS
31:39
EV
31:39
that's
31:40
driven
31:40
in
31:40
those
31:41
scenes,
31:41
which
31:41
bizarrely
31:42
is
31:42
an
31:42
electric
31:43
vehicle,
31:43
but
31:44
it
31:44
sounds
31:44
like
31:44
a
31:44
petrol
31:45
vehicle.
31:46
Anyway,
31:47
it's
31:47
time
31:47
to
31:47
segue
31:48
into
31:48
the
31:48
obligatory
31:48
Keanu
31:49
reference
31:49
for
31:49
this
31:50
episode.
31:51
And
31:51
if
31:51
you
31:51
don't
31:51
know
31:51
what
31:51
that
31:51
is,
31:52
it's
31:52
where
31:52
I
31:52
try
31:52
and
31:53
link
31:53
the
31:53
movie
31:53
that
31:53
I'm
31:53
featuring
31:54
with
31:54
Keanu
31:55
Reeves,
31:55
simply
31:56
because
31:56
he
31:56
is
31:56
the
31:56
best
31:57
of
31:57
Kens.
31:58
And
31:58
Jonathan
31:58
Groff
31:59
was
31:59
up
32:00
for
32:00
the
32:00
role
32:00
of
32:00
Alan
32:01
originally,
32:02
but
32:02
he
32:02
had
32:02
to
32:02
turn
32:03
it
32:03
down
32:03
and
32:03
he
32:03
later
32:04
regretted
32:04
the
32:05
decision
32:05
because
32:06
the
32:06
role
32:06
eventually
32:07
went
32:07
to
32:07
Michael
32:08
Cerar,
32:08
who
32:08
is
32:09
really
32:09
good
32:09
fun
32:09
in
32:10
the
32:10
movie.
32:10
Groff
32:11
obviously
32:12
co
32:12
starred

the
32:13
Matrix
32:13
resurrections
32:14
with
32:15
Keanu
32:16
Reeves.
32:16
And
32:16
so
32:17
that
32:17
is
32:17
the
32:17
easiest
32:17
and
32:18
cleanest
32:18
way
32:19
to

link
32:19
Keanu
32:20
Reeves
32:20
to
32:20
Barbie,
32:21
because
32:21
unfortunately
32:22
he's
32:22
not

32:30
But
32:30
in
32:30
May
32:30
2023
32:31
he
32:31
left
32:32
the

Mark

the

32:38
Mark

executively
32:44
producing

33:15
But
33:15
one
33:15
obvious
33:16
song
33:16
is
33:17
missing,
33:18
Aqua's
33:18
Barbie
33:19
Girl,
33:19
which
33:19
was
33:20
a
33:20
huge
33:20
hit
33:20
in
33:20
1997,
33:22
becoming
33:22
its
33:23
own
33:23
pop
33:23
culture
33:24
phenomenon,
33:25
Life
33:25
in
33:25
Plastic.
33:26
It's
33:26
fantastic,
33:27
the
33:28
absence
33:28
of
33:28
which
33:29
from
33:29
the
33:29
Barbie
33:29
movie
33:30
soundtrack
33:30
has
33:31
a
33:31
fascinating
33:31
backstory
33:32
rooted
33:33
in
33:33
a
33:33
bitter
33:33
legal
33:33
battle
33:34
between
33:34
Mattel
33:35
and
33:35
the
33:35
song's
33:36
creators.
33:37
Mattel
33:37
sued
33:38
AKA's
33:38
record
33:39
label
33:39
over
33:39
the
33:40
song
33:40
in
33:40
1997,
33:41
and
33:42
the
33:42
label
33:42
countersued
33:43
for
33:43
defamation.
33:44
Mattel
33:45
specifically
33:45
took
33:46
issue
33:46
with
33:46
the
33:46
sexual
33:47
and
33:47
other
33:47
unsavoury
33:48
themes
33:49
that
33:49
the
33:49
song
33:49
associated
33:50
with
33:50
Barbie.
33:51
The
33:52
legal
33:52
battle
33:52
lasted
33:53
five
33:53
years,
33:53
going
33:54
all
33:54
the
33:54
way
33:54
to
33:54
the
33:55
Supreme
33:55
Court
33:56
in
33:56
2022.
33:57
The
33:58
Court
33:58
of
33:58
Appeals
33:58
ruled
33:59
that
33:59
the
33:59
song
33:59
was
33:59
protected
34:00
as
34:00
parody
34:01
under
34:01
trademark
34:01
doctrine
34:02
and

with
34:04
Judge
34:04
Alex
34:05
Kaczynski
34:06
concluding
34:06
the
34:07
parties
34:07
are
34:08
advised
34:08
to
34:08
chill.
34:10
Come
34:10
on
34:10
Barbie,
34:11
let's
34:11
go
34:11
party.
34:12
In
34:12
2009,
34:13
Mattel
34:13
completed
34:14
reverse
34:14
Course
34:14

34:15

34:16
for

a

34:22
lyrics.
34:23
While
34:23
fans
34:23
were
34:24
disappointed
34:24
that
34:24
the
34:24
original
34:25
1997
34:26
Barbie
34:26
girl
34:27
wasn't
34:27
included
34:28
on
34:28
the
34:28
Barbie
34:28
soundtrack,
34:29
Nicki
34:30
Minaj
34:30
and
34:30
Ice
34:30
Spice's
34:31
Barbie
34:32
World
34:32
samples
34:33
and
34:33
interpolates
34:34
the
34:34
original
34:34
Aqua
34:35
track.
34:35
Aqua
34:36
is
34:36
credited
34:37
as
34:37
a
34:37
performer
34:38
and
34:38
co
34:38
writer
34:38
on
34:39
the
34:39
track.
34:40
And
34:40
while
34:40
I
34:40
wish
34:40
I
34:40
could
34:41
talk
34:41
about
34:41
every
34:41
single
34:41
song
34:42
on
34:42
this
34:42
soundtrack
34:42
because
34:43
I
34:43
love
34:43
the
34:43
Barbie
34:44
soundtrack,
34:44
I
34:44
think
34:44
it's
34:45
great.
34:45
I
34:45
don't
34:45
have
34:45
time
34:46
to
34:46
talk
34:46
about
34:47
every
34:47
single
34:47
song
34:48
on
34:48
the
34:48
soundtrack
34:48
other
34:49
than
34:49
just
34:49
to
34:49
say
34:50
I
34:50
love
34:50
the
34:50
songs
34:51
on
34:51
the
34:51
Barbie
34:51
soundtrack.
34:52
Great,
34:52
because
34:53
I
34:53
need
34:53
to
34:53
talk
34:53
about
34:53
the
34:54
marketing
34:54
for
34:54
this
34:54
movie.
34:55
Because
34:55
Barbie
34:56
was
34:56
the
34:56
rare
34:56
big
34:57
budget,
34:57
non
34:57
franchise
34:58
movie
34:59
that
34:59
literally
34:59
every
35:00
company
35:00
wanted
35:01
to
35:01
partner
35:01
with.
35:02
It
35:02
was
35:02
a
35:02
strategy
35:03
unlike
35:03
anything
35:03
else
35:04
that
35:04
came
35:04
before
35:05
or
35:05
after
35:06
the
35:06
teaser
35:06
trailer
35:07
was
35:07
based
35:07
on
35:07
the
35:07
beginning
35:08
of
35:08
the
35:08
movie
35:09
featuring
35:09
little
35:09
girls
35:10
playing
35:10
with
35:10

35:10

35:11
set
35:11
to
35:12
The

35:12
2001
35:13
A
35:13
Space
35:13
Odyssey
35:14
and
35:14
was
35:15
specifically
35:15
placed
35:16
just
35:16
before
35:16
showings
35:17
of

Avatar

the
35:18

35:18
of

35:19
the
35:19
highest
35:19
grossing
35:20
film
35:20
of
35:20
2022.
35:22
Case
35:22
studies
35:23
have
35:23
been
35:23
extensively
35:24
written
35:24
about
35:25
Barbie's
35:25
marketing
35:26
and
35:26
how
35:26
it
35:27
changed
35:27
how
35:27
Hollywood
35:28
can
35:28
effectively
35:29
market
35:29
a
35:29
movie
35:30
and
35:30
market
35:30
a
35:31
movie
35:31
specifically
35:32
to
35:32
women.
35:32
It
35:33
is
35:33
something
35:33
that
35:33
will
35:33
continue
35:34
to
35:34
be
35:34
studied
35:35
for
35:35
decades.
35:36
From
35:37
the
35:37
get
35:37
go,
35:37
Barbie's
35:38
marketing
35:38
was
35:38
unapologetically
35:39
bright
35:40
pink
35:40
and
35:41
girly.
35:41
Bright
35:42
pink
35:42
billboards
35:43
just
35:43
stating
35:44
the

35:44
the
35:44

popped
35:45
up
35:45

35:46
and
35:46
Margot
35:47
Robbie's

35:48

35:48
and
35:48

35:49

35:50
embraced
35:50
not
35:50
only
35:51
the
35:51
vibrant
35:51
pinks
35:52
but
35:52
also
35:53
Barbie's
35:53
historical
35:54
fashion.
35:55
Each
35:55
of
35:55
her
35:55
outfits
35:56
embodied
35:56
one
35:57
of
35:57
the
35:57
iconic
35:57
Barbie
35:58

35:58
of
35:58
the

35:59
seven
35:59

36:00
Stylist
36:01
Andrew
36:01
Mukamel,
36:02
who
36:02
traveled
36:02
with
36:03
the

36:03
sourced
36:04
outfits
36:04
at
36:04
each
36:05
location
36:05
that
36:05
paid
36:06
homage
36:06
to
36:06
an
36:06
original
36:07
Barbie
36:07
doll
36:08
look.
36:08
Not
36:08
even
36:09
the
36:09
SAG
36:09
AFTRA
36:10
strike
36:10
that
36:10
cut
36:10
the
36:11
press
36:11
tour
36:11
short
36:12
could
36:12
stifle
36:13
the
36:13
buzz
36:13
about
36:13
the
36:14
Barbie
36:14

36:15
The
36:15
strike
36:16
meant
36:16
some
36:16
looks
36:17
didn't
36:17
get
36:17
their
36:17
moment
36:18
to
36:18
shine,
36:19
so

Andrew
36:19
Mukamal
36:20
and
36:20
Margot
36:20
Robbie
36:21

38:18
And
38:18
then
38:18
there
38:18
was
38:19
Barbenheimer,
38:20

that
38:25
became
38:26
synonymous
38:26
with
38:26
the
38:27
summer
38:27
of
38:27
2023.
38:29
Oppenheimer
38:30
started
38:30
life
38:30
as
38:31
a
38:31
Warner
38:31
Brothers
38:32
movie.
38:32
However,
38:33
Christopher
38:33
Nolan
38:34
was
38:34
unhappy
38:34
with
38:34
studio's
38:35
simultaneous
38:36
theatrical
38:37
and
38:37
HBO
38:38
Max
38:38
releases
38:39
and
38:39
didn't
38:39
want
38:39
that
38:40
for
38:40
Oppenheimer.
38:41
Maybe
38:41
he'd
38:42
been
38:42
on
38:42
the
38:42
phone
38:42
with
38:43
Scarlett
38:43
Johansson
38:44
following
38:44
Black
38:45
Widow,
38:45
but
38:46
nevertheless
38:46
he
38:47
left
38:47
Warner
38:48
Bros
38:48
and
38:48
he'd
38:49
worked
38:49
with
38:49
them
38:49
since
38:50
2002
38:51
and
38:51
he
38:51
took
38:52
Oppenheimer
38:53
to
38:53
Universal.
38:54
Drew
38:54
agreed
38:54
to
38:54
Nolan's
38:55
terms,
38:55
which
38:56
included
38:56
a
38:56
production
38:57
budget
38:57
of
38:57
$100
38:58
million,
38:59
an
38:59
equal
38:59
marketing
39:00
budget,
39:00
an
39:00
exclusive
39:01
theatrical
39:02
window
39:02
ranging
39:03
from
39:03

120
39:04
days,
39:05
20%

39:08
a

39:08
period
39:09
both
39:09
before
39:09
and
39:10
after
39:10
the
39:10
opening
39:11
in
39:11
which
39:11
Universal
39:12
could
39:12
not
39:12
release
39:13
another
39:13
new
39:14
film.
39:14
But
39:15
Warner
39:15
Brothers
39:15
could
39:16
release
39:16
another
39:16
new
39:17
film
39:17
and
39:17
their
39:18
planned
39:18
release
39:18
of
39:19
Coyote
39:19

Acme
39:20
on
39:20
21
39:21

39:22
2023
39:23
would
39:23
instead
39:23
become
39:24
their
39:24
planned
39:24
release
39:25
for
39:25
Barbie,
39:26
the
39:26
same
39:26
date
39:27
as
39:27
Oppenheimer.
39:28
And
39:28
allegedly
39:29
Nolan's
39:30
disagreement
39:30
with
39:30
Warner
39:30
Bros.
39:31
Was
39:31
cited
39:31
as
39:32
the
39:32
principal
39:32
cause
39:32
of
39:33
this
39:33
decision.
39:34
Both
39:35
films
39:35
held
39:35
their
39:35
premieres
39:36
in

39:51
counter

39:57

39:58
again
39:59

two

40:01
in

40:06
The
40:07
Dark
40:07

40:07
won
40:08
that
40:08
time.
40:09
The
40:09
Barbenheimer
40:10
phenomenon
40:10
was
40:11
widely
40:11
credited
40:11
with
40:12
boosting
40:12
interest
40:12
in
40:13
both
40:13
films,
40:14
but
40:14
specifically
40:15
Barbie.
40:15
With

a

40:16
of
40:16
79%
40:17

40:21
52%
40:22
of
40:22
those
40:22

40:23
were
40:23

40:23

40:24
That
40:24

40:24
a

40:25

40:25
18.5
40:26
million

many
40:28
people
40:28
on

social
40:28

40:29
specifically
40:30
wanting
40:30
to
40:30
see
40:31
both
40:31
because
40:32
they
40:32
were
40:32
so
40:32
widely
40:33
different.
40:34
But
40:34
the
40:34
ultimate
40:35
winner
40:35
of
40:35
Barbenheimer
40:36
was
40:37
Barbie.
40:38
Barbie

Oppenheimer
40:45
taking
40:45
second
40:46
place.
40:47
It
40:47
would

40:53
only
40:54

The

41:04
was
41:05
controversial

41:07

the

Schoner
41:51
from

41:53
said
41:54
that
41:54
while
41:54
the
41:54
map
41:54
might
41:55
seem
41:55
innocuous,
41:56
the
41:56
repeated
41:57
presentation
41:57
of
41:57

41:58
that
41:58

42:02
by
42:03
international
42:03
publics
42:04
and
42:04
is
42:04
therefore
42:05
a
42:05
cause
42:05
for
42:05
concern.

in

the

42:17
that
42:17
refused

42:58
Barbie
42:59
is
42:59
a

42:59
dazzling

43:00
whose
43:01
meta
43:01
humor
43:01
is
43:02
smartly
43:02
complemented
43:03
by
43:03
subversive
43:03
storytelling,
43:05
with
43:05
particular
43:05
praise
43:06
for

43:19
But
43:19
also
43:20
it

effectively
43:21
a

2

43:22
Some

critics
43:23
saw
43:23
it
43:24
as
43:24
satirizing
43:25

43:25
while

others
43:26
perceived
43:27
it

a

46:15
core,
46:16
has
46:16
a
46:16
movie
46:16
that
46:17
actually
46:17
takes
46:17
that
46:17
perfection
46:18
and
46:18
rips
46:19
up
46:19
the
46:19
rule
46:19
book.
46:20
Barbieland
46:21
initially
46:21
represents
46:22
the
46:22
idealized
46:23
feminist
46:23
realization
46:24
of
46:24
women
46:25
holding
46:25
all
46:26
positions
46:26
of
46:26
power
46:27
and
46:27
gender
46:27
based
46:28
limitations
46:28
being
46:28
eliminated.
46:30
It
46:30
celebrates
46:31
women's
46:31
capabilities
46:32
and
46:32
the
46:32
importance
46:33
of
46:33
female
46:33
empowerment
46:34
and
46:34
self
46:34
determination.
46:36
It
46:36
also
46:36
critiques
46:36
certain
46:37
aspects
46:37
of
46:37
contemporary
46:38
feminism.
46:39
It
46:39
shows
46:39
how
46:40
even
46:40
well
46:40
intentioned
46:41
feminist
46:41
spaces
46:42
can
46:42
exclude
46:43
or
46:43
marginalize
46:44
others.
46:44
The
46:45
Kens
46:45
in
46:45
Barbieland
46:46
are
46:46
essentially
46:47
Decorative
46:47
accessories
46:48
with
46:48
no
46:48
real
46:49
agency
46:49
or
46:49
purpose.
46:50
Even
46:50
characters
46:51
like
46:51
Midge
46:51
and
46:52
Alan
46:52
are
46:52
excluded
46:53
from
46:53
Barbieland
46:54
to
46:54
a
46:54
degree.
46:55
The
46:55
film
46:56
also
46:56
gently
46:56
mocks
46:57
feminist
46:57
rhetoric
46:58
and
46:58
the
46:58
impossible
46:59
standards
46:59
that
47:00
can
47:00
emerge
47:00
from
47:01
girl
47:01
boss
47:01
culture.
47:03
But
47:03
Barbieland
47:04
isn't
47:04
the
47:04
real
47:04
world.
47:04
And
47:05
so
47:05
when
47:05
Barbie
47:05
and
47:06
Ken
47:06
do
47:06
go
47:06
to
47:06
the
47:07
real
47:07
world,
47:07
it's
47:08
a
47:08
cultural
47:08
shock
47:09
for
47:09
both
47:09
of
47:09
them.
47:10
Ongoing
47:11
gender
47:11
inequalities,
47:12
workplace
47:12
discrimination
47:13
and
47:14
the
47:14
persistence
47:14
of
47:14
beauty
47:15
standards
47:15
that
47:15
affect
47:16
women's
47:16
self
47:17
worth.
47:17
The
47:18
patriarchy's
47:18
harmful
47:19
effects
47:19
show
47:19
when
47:20
Ken
47:20
transforms
47:20
Barbieland
47:21
into
47:21
Kendom
47:22
after
47:22
visiting
47:23
the
47:23
real
47:23
world,
47:24
demonstrating
47:25
how
47:25
male
47:25
dominated
47:26
systems
47:26
can
47:26
marginalize
47:27
women,
47:28
reduce
47:28
them
47:28
to
47:28
decorative
47:29
roles
47:29
and
47:30
prioritize
47:30
male
47:31
ego
47:31
and
47:31
competition
47:32
over
47:32
collaboration.
47:33
Which
47:34
is
47:34
of
47:34
course
47:34
how
47:34
the
47:35
Barbies
47:35
eventually
47:35
take
47:36
Barbieland
47:36
back.
47:37
It's
47:38
not
47:38
necessarily
47:38
demonising
47:39
the
47:39
patriarchy,
47:40
instead
47:41
exploring
47:41
more
47:41
why
47:42
someone
47:42
like
47:42
Ken
47:43
would
47:43
find
47:43
it
47:43
appealing.
47:44
He
47:44
discovers
47:45
a
47:45
sense
47:45
of
47:45
purpose
47:46
and
47:46
identity
47:47
that
47:47
he
47:47
lacked
47:48
in
47:48
matriarchal
47:49
Barbieland,
47:49
where
47:50
he
47:50
felt
47:50
invisible
47:51
and
47:51
defined
47:51
only
47:52
by
47:52
his
47:52
relationship
47:53
to
47:53
Barbie,
47:54
through
47:55
Barbie's
47:55
existential
47:56
crisis
47:56
and
47:56
eventual
47:57
decision
47:57
to
47:57
become
47:58
human.
47:58
True
47:59
feminism
47:59
must
48:00
include
48:00
the
48:00
right
48:00
to
48:00
be
48:01
imperfect,
48:02
mortal
48:03
and
48:03
complex.
48:04
It
48:04
suggests
48:04
that
48:04
both
48:05
the
48:05
plastic
48:05
perfection
48:06
of
48:06
Barbieland
48:06
and
48:07
the
48:07
patriarchal
48:08
alternative
48:08
of
48:08
Kendom
48:09
are
48:10
incomplete
48:10
solutions,
48:11
that
48:11
there
48:12
are
48:12
no
48:12
easy
48:12
answers
48:13
to
48:13
the
48:13
issues
48:13
in
48:13
society,
48:14
but
48:15
healthy
48:15
ones
48:15
require
48:16
balance,
48:17
mutual
48:17
respect
48:18
and
48:18
space
48:18
for
48:19
everyone
48:19
to
48:19
find
48:20
purpose
48:20
and
48:20
identity,
48:21
regardless
48:22
of
48:22
gender.
48:23
It
48:23
advocates
48:24
for
48:24
systems
48:24
that
48:24
don't
48:25
simply
48:25
flip
48:25
power
48:26
dynamics,
48:26
but
48:27
create
48:27
genuine
48:28
equality
48:28
and
48:28
understanding.
48:29
And
48:29
this
48:30
is
48:30
a
48:30
message
48:30
we
48:30
need
48:31
more
48:31
in
48:31
2025
48:32
than
48:32
ever,
48:33
especially
48:33
when
48:34
the
48:34
Kens
48:34
seem
48:35
to
48:35
be
48:35
taking
48:35
control
48:36
of
48:36
more
48:36
and
48:37
more
48:38
Barbie.
48:38
The
48:39
movie
48:39
isn't
48:39
here
48:39
to
48:40
hate
48:40
on
48:40
men,
48:40
but
48:41
show
48:41
how
48:41
damaging
48:41
the
48:42
patriarchy
48:42
is
48:43
and
48:43
how
48:43
it
48:43
actually
48:44
doesn't
48:44
make
48:44
anyone's
48:45
lives
48:45
better.
48:46
If
48:46
anything,
48:47
this
48:47
is
48:47
a
48:47
movie
48:48
women
48:48
can
48:48
walk
48:48
away
48:48
from,
48:49
knowing
48:49
that
48:49
a
48:49
matriarchy
48:50
would
48:50
never
48:51
be
48:51
better,
48:52
and
48:52
men
48:52
can
48:52
walk
48:52
away
48:53
realizing
48:53
how
48:53
harmful
48:54
the
48:54
patriarchy
48:55
is
48:55
to
48:55
women.
48:56
Women
48:56
will
48:56
have
48:57
their
48:57
existences
48:57
validated
48:58
and
48:59
men
48:59
will
48:59
hopefully
48:59
understand
49:00
those
49:00
experiences.
49:02
I
49:02
love
49:02
this
49:03
movie
49:03
for
49:03
its
49:04
beautiful
49:04
production
49:04
design
49:05
and
49:05
costumes,
49:05
for
49:06
its
49:06
soundtrack,
49:07
for
49:07
its
49:07
performances,
49:08
but
49:08
also
49:09
for
49:09
making
49:09
me
49:09
feel
49:10
seen.
49:11
I
49:11
do
49:11
think
49:11
Barbie
49:12
man
49:12
could
49:12
have
49:12
been
49:12
more
49:13
inclusive
49:13
and
49:13
diverse
49:14
because
49:14
most
49:15
of
49:15
the
49:15
Barbies
49:15
and
49:15
Kens
49:16
we
49:16
do
49:16
see
49:16
in
49:17
the
49:17
background
49:17
or
49:17
in
49:17
the
49:17
dance
49:18
numbers,
49:19
we
49:19
just
49:19
get
49:19
fleeting
49:19
moments
49:20
of
49:21
apparently.
49:21
Bowen
49:22
Yang,
49:22
Dan
49:22
Levy
49:23
and
49:23
Ben
49:23
Platt
49:24
were
49:24
all
49:24
considered
49:24
to
49:25
play
49:25
Kens,
49:25
and
49:26
a
49:26
cameo
49:26
by
49:26
Olivia
49:27
Colman
49:27
was
49:27
cut.
49:28
She
49:28
would
49:28
have
49:29
been
49:29
a
49:29
rival
49:29
narrator
49:30
against
49:30
Helen
49:30
Mirren,
49:31
and
49:31
I
49:31
would
49:31
have
49:31
loved
49:31
that.
49:32
Margot
49:33
Robbie
49:33
is
49:33
really
49:34
everything.
49:34
She
49:35
is
49:35
the
49:35
perfect
49:35
Barbie
49:36
in
49:36
every
49:36
respect.
49:37
But
49:37
as
49:37
a
49:38
producer,
49:38
I
49:38
really
49:39
think
49:39
she
49:39
is
49:39
everything.
49:40
I've
49:40
been
49:41
a
49:41
huge
49:41
fan
49:41
of
49:41
her
49:41
work
49:42
for
49:42
ages.
49:42
She's
49:43
out
49:43
there
49:43
doing
49:43
great
49:44
things
49:44
as
49:44
producer
49:45
Barbie
49:45
and
49:45
I
49:46
don't
49:46
think
49:46
she'd
49:46
mind
49:47
being
49:47
referred
49:47
to
49:47
as
49:48
that.
49:49
Ryan
49:49
Gosling
49:49
is
49:50
really
49:50
terrific
49:50
in
49:50
this
49:50
movie.
49:51
As
49:51
the
49:51
eye
49:52
candy
49:52
for
49:52
a
49:52
Barbie
49:53
that
49:53
just
49:53
isn't
49:53
interested
49:54
and
49:54
the
49:55
bringer
49:55
of
49:55
patriarchy
49:56
and
49:56
as
49:56
the
49:56
downfall
49:57
of
49:57
patriarchy.
49:58
He
49:58
just
49:59
plays
49:59
this
49:59
Ken
49:59
who
50:00
is
50:00
so
50:00
insecure,
50:01
doesn't
50:01
know
50:01
who
50:01
he
50:02
is
50:02
or
50:02
who
50:02
he
50:02
should
50:02
be
50:03
without
50:03
Barbie.
50:04
He
50:05
has
50:05
his
50:05
mojo
50:05
dojo,
50:06
castle
50:06
house,
50:07
but
50:07
he's
50:07
still
50:08
so
50:08
miserable
50:09
because
50:09
there
50:09
is
50:09
no
50:10
Ken
50:10
without
50:10
Barbie.
50:11
But
50:11
his
50:11
realization
50:12
that
50:12
he
50:13
is
50:13
Ken,
50:14
it's
50:14
just
50:14
so
50:14
great.
50:15
The
50:15
idea
50:16
that
50:16
kids
50:16
are
50:16
playing
50:16
with
50:17
the
50:17
Barbies
50:17
and
50:18
Kens
50:18
makes
50:18
so
50:18
much
50:19
sense
50:19
that
50:19
Ken
50:19
doesn't
50:20
understand
50:21
what
50:21
staying
50:21
over
50:22
because
50:22
your
50:22
girlfriend
50:22
and
50:23
boyfriend
50:23
actually
50:23
means.
50:24
To
50:24
be
50:24
honest,
50:25
when
50:25
I
50:25
found
50:25
out
50:25
patriarchy
50:26
wasn't
50:26
just
50:27
about
50:27
horses,
50:27
I
50:28
lost
50:28
interest
50:28
too.
50:29
Greta
50:30
Gerwig,
50:31
given
50:31
the
50:31
ability
50:31
to
50:32
do
50:32
so,
50:32
has
50:32
made
50:33
something
50:33
audacious,
50:34
unrestrained
50:35
and
50:35
flamboyant.
50:36
A
50:36
cinematic
50:37
event
50:37
that
50:37
there
50:38
hasn't
50:38
been
50:38
in
50:38
some
50:39
time.
50:39
A
50:40
wholly
50:40
crowd
50:40
pleasing,
50:41
brightly
50:42
colored,
50:42
layered
50:43
look
50:43
at
50:43
life
50:43
through
50:44
the
50:44
eyes
50:44
of
50:44
Barbie.
50:45
Where
50:45
else
50:46
would
50:46
you
50:46
see
50:46
a
50:46
depression
50:47
Barbie,
50:48
the
50:48
patriarchy
50:49
being
50:49
described
50:49
as
50:50
men,
50:50
mansplaining
50:51
the
50:51
Godfather.
50:52
A
50:52
movie
50:52
that
50:53
doesn't
50:53
care
50:53
about
50:53
setting
50:54
up
50:54
a
50:54
wider
50:54
universe,
50:55
but
50:56
just
50:56
commenting
50:56
on
50:56
the
50:57
one
50:57
we
50:57
currently
50:57
have
50:58
in
50:58
a
50:58
Hollywood
50:59
of
50:59
playing
50:59
it
50:59
safe,
51:00
prioritizing
51:01
sequels.
51:02
Barbie
51:02
could
51:03
have
51:03
just
51:03
been
51:04
another
51:04
cookie
51:04
cutter
51:05
adaptation,
51:06
but
51:06
not
51:06
under
51:07
Gerwig's
51:07
fierce
51:08
direction
51:08
of
51:08
what
51:09
she
51:09
wanted
51:09
Barbie
51:10
to
51:10
be.
51:10
It
51:11
feels
51:11
like
51:11
Barbie
51:12
should
51:12
never
51:12
have
51:12
been
51:13
this
51:13
good.
51:13
And
51:14
yet
51:14
it's
51:14
proven
51:15
that
51:15
if
51:15
Hollywood
51:15
trusts
51:16
filmmakers
51:16
who
51:17
know
51:17
what
51:17
they're
51:17
doing,
51:18
we
51:18
get
51:19
good
51:19
stuff.
51:20
Reportedly,
51:20
Mattel
51:21
did
51:21
bulk
51:21
on
51:21
one
51:22
scene,
51:22
but
51:22
when
51:23
it
51:23
was
51:23
acted
51:23
out
51:23
for
51:23
them,
51:24
they
51:24
got
51:24
it.
51:24
It
51:24
just
51:25
didn't
51:25
make
51:25
sense
51:25
on
51:26
the
51:26
page.
51:26
But
51:27
also
51:27
kudos
51:28
to
51:28
Mattel
51:28
for
51:28
taking
51:29
the
51:29
risks
51:29
because
51:30
it
51:30
paid
51:30
off
51:31
figuratively
51:32
and
51:32
literally.
51:33
I
51:34
wish
51:34
the
51:34
movie
51:34
had
51:34
leaned
51:35
more
51:35
into
51:35
the
51:35
mother
51:35
daughter
51:36
pairing
51:36
of
51:36
Gloria
51:37
and
51:37
Sasha
51:37
and
51:38
for
51:38
them
51:38
to
51:38
have
51:38
more
51:39
of
51:39
an
51:39
arc.
51:39
It's
51:40
a
51:40
Barbie
51:41
movie,
51:41
so
51:41
it
51:41
has
51:41
to
51:42
be
51:42
about
51:42
Barbie.
51:43
But
51:43
Barbie
51:44
is
51:44
brought
51:44
to
51:44
the
51:44
real
51:44
world
51:45
by
51:45
Gloria's
51:46
own
51:46
existential
51:47
crisis
51:47
as
51:48
a
51:48
woman,
51:48
as
51:49
a
51:49
mother,
51:49
with
51:50
the
51:50
associated
51:50
speech
51:51
of
51:51
some
51:51
of
51:51
the
51:51
impossible
51:52
standards.
51:52
Women
51:52
are
51:52
held
51:53
to
51:53
being
51:53
thin,
51:54
but
51:54
not
51:54
too
51:54
thin.
51:55
But
51:55
no,
51:55
it's
51:56
being
51:56
healthy,
51:57
leading
51:57
without
51:57
being
51:57
in
51:58
charge.
51:58
And
51:58
acknowledging
51:59
the
51:59
system
51:59
is
51:59
rigged
52:00
and
52:00
unfair,
52:00
but
52:00
doing
52:01
so
52:01
is
52:01
complaining,
52:02
etc.
52:03
Which
52:03
felt
52:03
quite
52:03
cathartic
52:04
to
52:04
hear
52:04
spoken
52:05
out
52:05
loud.
52:06
And
52:06
still
52:06
to
52:06
this
52:07
day
52:07
feels
52:07
like
52:07
the
52:08
underlying
52:08
message
52:08
of
52:09
this
52:09
movie
52:09
is
52:10
about
52:10
how
52:10
we
52:10
were
52:10
never
52:11
going
52:11
to
52:11
live
52:11
up
52:12
to
52:12
the
52:12
unrealistic
52:13
ideals
52:13
of
52:13
Barbie.
52:14
Humans
52:15
only
52:15
have
52:16
one
52:16
ending
52:17
Ideas
52:17
Live
52:17
Forever.
52:18
Barbie
52:19
was
52:19
wrong
52:19
on
52:20
one
52:20
thing
52:20
though.
52:21
Our
52:21
mothers
52:22
didn't
52:22
just
52:22
stand
52:23
still.
52:23
And
52:24
not
52:24
just
52:24
our
52:24
mothers,
52:25
but
52:25
our
52:25
mothers,
52:26
our
52:26
grandmothers,
52:27
aunts,
52:28
and
52:28
all
52:28
women
52:29
have
52:29
never
52:29
stood
52:30
still.
52:31
They
52:31
stood
52:31
up.
52:32
They
52:32
gave
52:32
women
52:33
the
52:33
right
52:33
to
52:33
vote,
52:34
gave
52:34
us
52:34
the
52:34
right
52:34
to
52:35
own
52:35
property,
52:35
and
52:36
to
52:36
be
52:36
more
52:36
than
52:37
just
52:37
owned
52:37
by
52:37
men.
52:38
But
52:38
what
52:39
is
52:39
true
52:39
is
52:39
that
52:39
their
52:40
daughters
52:40
have
52:40
come
52:40
so
52:41
far.
52:41
It
52:42
is
52:42
a
52:42
profound
52:42
line,
52:43
but
52:43
it's
52:43
just
52:43
not
52:44
true.
52:44
Not
52:45
to
52:45
my
52:45
experience.
52:46
Women
52:46
could
52:47
never
52:47
stand
52:47
still.
52:48
Women
52:48
have
52:49
had
52:49
to
52:49
give
52:49
up
52:49
a
52:49
lot
52:50
to
52:50
become
52:50
mothers
52:51
and
52:51
still
52:51
do,
52:52
but
52:52
they
52:52
don't
52:53
stand
52:53
still.
52:54
Barbie
52:54
stood
52:55
still
52:55
and
52:55
stands
52:56
the
52:56
test
52:56
of
52:56
time
52:57
to
52:57
embody
52:58
our
52:58
hopes
52:58
and
52:58
dreams
52:59
so
53:00
we
53:00
as
53:00
little
53:00
girls
53:01
could
53:01
see
53:01
ourselves
53:02
as
53:02
whatever
53:02
we
53:03
wanted
53:03
to
53:03
be,
53:04
to
53:04
find
53:04
what
53:05
we
53:05
were
53:05
made
53:05
for,
53:06
to
53:06
grow
53:06
up
53:07
and
53:07
make
53:07
the
53:07
world
53:08
better
53:08
for
53:09
future
53:09
girls
53:10
and
53:10
women.
53:11
This
53:11
movie
53:11
makes
53:11
me
53:12
emotional
53:12
and
53:12
I'm
53:13
expressing
53:13
it.
53:13
I
53:14
have
53:14
no
53:14
difficulty
53:15
holding
53:15
both
53:15
logic
53:15
and
53:16
feeling
53:16
at
53:16
the
53:16
same
53:17
time
53:17
and
53:17
it
53:17
does
53:18
not
53:18
diminish
53:18
my
53:18
powers.
53:19
It
53:19
expands
53:20
them.
53:21
As
53:21
for
53:21
this
53:21
podcast,
53:22
Barbie
53:23
I'm

the

out
53:55
of

this

podcast.
53:57
This
53:57
podcast
53:58
Barbie
53:58
is
53:59
now
53:59
going
53:59
to
53:59
watch
53:59
the
54:00
BBC's
54:00
Pride
54:00
of
54:01
Pretty
54:01
Dis
54:01
for
54:01
the
54:01
seventh
54:02
time
54:02
until
54:02
she
54:03
falls
54:03
asleep.
54:04
And
54:04
because
54:05
it's
54:05
my
54:05
birthday
54:06
soon.
54:07
Coming
54:07
next,
54:08
a
54:08
special
54:08
episode
54:09
all
54:10
about
54:10
the
54:10
BBC's
54:11
1995
54:12
six
54:13
part
54:13
series
54:13
on
54:14
Pride
54:14
and
54:14
Prejudice
54:15
starring
54:15
Colin
54:16
Firth
54:16
and
54:16
Jennifer
54:17
Ehle,
54:18
featuring
54:18
some
54:19
very
54:19
special
54:19
guests.
54:20
Now
54:21
I
54:21
don't
54:21
normally
54:22
do
54:22
TV
54:22
on
54:23
this
54:23
podcast.
54:24
I
54:24
also
54:25
don't
54:25
really
54:25
have
54:25
special
54:26
guests
54:26
on
54:26
this
54:27
podcast,
54:28
but
54:28
for
54:28
the
54:29
1995
54:30
BBC
54:30
Pride
54:31
of
54:31
Prejudice
54:32
I
54:33
simply
54:33
had
54:33
to.
54:34
Every
54:34
year
54:34
for
54:35
my
54:35
birthday
54:35
I
54:36
tend
54:36
to
54:36
cover
54:36
something
54:37
that
54:37
means
54:37
a
54:37
lot
54:37
to
54:38
me
54:38
and
54:38
Pride
54:39
and
54:39
Prejudice
54:39
is
54:40
one
54:40
of
54:40
those
54:40
series
54:40
that
54:41
I
54:41
have
54:41
watched
54:42
a
54:42
lot
54:42
over
54:43
the
54:43
years.
54:43
It
54:44
is
54:44
very
54:44
special
54:44
to
54:45
me
54:45
and
54:45
so
54:45
of
54:45
course
54:46
I
54:46
wanted
54:46
to
54:46
bring
54:47
some
54:47
special
54:47
people
54:48
on
54:48
to
54:49
talk
54:49
about
54:49
the
54:49
BBC's
54:50
1995
54:51
Pride
54:51
of
54:51
Prejudice.
54:52
So

please
54:53

54:53
me
54:54

episode

of

that.
54:57
I
54:57
want
54:57

of
54:58
the
54:58
people
54:58
that
54:59
make
54:59
meaning,
55:00
not
55:00
the
55:00
thing
55:00
that's
55:01
made.
55:01
I
55:02
want
55:02
to
55:02
do
55:02
the
55:02
imagining.
55:03
I
55:03
don't
55:04
want

to
55:04
be
55:04
the
55:04
idea.
