Shanny Luft is curious about Barbie so he invited professors Cary Elza and Kelly Wilz in Media Studies at the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point, to talk about it. Why was Barbie the most successful movie of 2023? We also talked about the films that inspired Greta Gerwig's directing, the doll's effect on body image, our favorite (and least favorite) scenes.
