Welcome to your Weekly Buzz, presented by Speaking Here.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
We're happening this week on the Buzz. While Weird Barbie
joins the club of toy based movie merchandise, it's really
not that weird. This club wasn't necessarily exclusive, so it's
not surprising that Kate McKinnon's character has been molded into
a toy that was technically already a toy in the
first place. After the Barbie movie crossed the one billion
(00:33):
dollar mark globally with no signs of stopping, the characters
from the film become prime opportunities for Mattel to capitalize on.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
