Join Alex and returning guest host Dr. Molly Metz as they jump into the pink land that is Barbie (2023)! There’s so much in this episode that they crammed in, and they didn’t even get to everything. Alex and Molly explore gender expression, gender identity, masculinity, femininity, queerness, relationships, and of course, the role Barbie has had in Western/American culture since her debut in the 1950s. There are lot of great nuggets of info and a lot of laughs, and that’s just in the podcast — imagine what’s in the movie!
