Is The Barbie Movie Being Blown Out Of Proportion?

The Barbie movie raked in some cash this weekend. Of course it's being taken politically... but is that happening rightfully so?

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Drop us a note mailbag at Armstrong and getty dot com.
That's mailbag at Armstrong and getty dot com. Continuing the
sickening Barbenheimer theme in defense of the Barbie movie from Laurie.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
My Friend's off. Let me say this just in case
they're going to say this, please, I do want to
see the Barbie movie because I think it's being comple
My guess is it's being completely misinterpreted.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
By right wing media. I can't they're feeling. I'm reminded
of the don't look up, yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
Which was crazy the way people reacted to that in
my yeah.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
Although remember, clickbait is clickbait, and we're being attacked is
great clickbait. But anyway, because I'd heard that the barbiemovie
is insufferable if you're a conservative, we've been looking forward
to seeing it. See writes Off. We went our nineteen
year old daughter, husband, threeteen, and preteen sons. We all
love this movie. It's hilarious. It's silly and poignant. My

(01:01):
daughter and I cried together, held hands on the way
out of the theater. Ah blah blah blah. Some of
the criticism I've seen is classified this movie as extreme
walk feminism. I say, bring on the feminism. This movie
is all about women and what it's like to be
a woman in both our world and the Barbie world.
Not men who want to be women, Not women who
feel like maybe they're men. Not women who need to
have different pronouns and a crazy new age sexual identity

(01:24):
to feel special. Just women in this day and age
of womanhood being erased. I'm so glad the movie like
this exists. We bring back feminism so we women don't
get our identity completely washed away. Sincerely, the proud owner
of a bonus hole. Oh jeez, laurieautiful. Well, thanks, Laurie.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
While we're on the topic, Not to take up too
much time for mailbag, but I my message to fellow
right wingers, and I am a right winger making a
big deal out of the movie, don't look up in
Barbie and acting like that's an attack on everything that
is good when it is not, When it's just a nothing.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
Doesn't help the cause. There are plenty of examples, like
really good, solid examples why Wolkeism is something to be
afraid of.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
Amen to that, and we have quite a few of
them ready.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
Barby movie ain't.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
It right right, don't don't be hysterical, don't be the
right equivalent of calling absolutely everything racist, exactly to the
point that nobody pays attention to.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
That is exactly right.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
Keep your powder dry.
