Dude I’m so glad to see you guys back at this. It’s been ages.

[@blistcc1680]

I missed this show so much

I really loved Barbie! I absolutely love that it appeals to an older audience and they didn't just try to pander to children, and not only that, but that it has great messages for men too. All the people calling the movie sexist and whatever have completely missed the mark and the message flew over their head. I went to the premiere with 5 friends, 2 being girls and 3 being guys, and the guys absolutely adored the movie. We all love Ken and none of them ever said that the movie was sexist, and that it was actually really funny and eye opening for certain things. Also, bring back FYI please

[@neonredhex]

I actually haven't seen Oppenheimer nor Barbie, but hearing you guys talk about both, I'm still disinterested with Oppenheimer cause I'm not a big history buff, but I AM now interested in seeing the Barbie movie. Sounds like a fun watch!

[@lumpy1093]

See you guys next year for the weekly podcast!

[@Bellusinlove]

About the harassment in barbie, As a women who dresses alternatively it's pretty rough out here lol

[@Infinite_Repeat]

I can’t wait to watch Oppenheimer at home so I can pause and digest the movie at my pace. But Barbie was more enjoyable for me

[@coletrainhetrick]

Honestly the movie is way worse being allowed to pause and get distracted.

[@DarkHarvest666]

I had the golden beetle borg that was like really tall and said catch phrases. I spilled my orange juice on it when I was 8.

You guys should talk about starfield

I found Pig from Monster House, I believe, and I found Alien from a friend who recommended him.

Im really enjoying seeing the uploads, makes my day just to chill out and vibe

Cinema is back and my duo is back. This is how I win!

Glad you guys are back!

[@gojijynx]

seeing this in my sub feed was such a welcome and lovely monday surprise.

[@geminimojo8019]

Man it's funny you guys mention everything being pay walled. There's some car company that wants to put extra features on the vehicles be locked behind a subscription based system. It's ridiculous.

[@davidphillips1444]

You guys got a good conversation flow a dialogue pingpong that is entertaining AND in cool spaceships!!

[@lydiaking6341]

Barbie didn't hate Ken, she just wasn't romantically interested in him. The fact that some people don't get that is very telling.

[@jasmin4947]

For Incels that's basically the same thing I guess

[@juanogamer4258]

Cool. Barbie didnt hate him. Guess every other woman hating him is not a problem tho lol

[@quarterofdisorder]

But Ken was like essentially a 2nd class citizen

[@lydiaking6341]

@@quarterofdisorder Yeah, the movie acknowledges that, it was an ongoing joke. At the very end of the movie, Barbie encourages Ken to go on a self discovery journey so that he's not just " Ken".

[@KingOfGaymes]

@@quarterofdisorderIn barbie land, that’s the point

[@Monkeyfuzz]

I would love a Beetleborgs movie. Also Flabber isn't a bad guy he's a phantasm that gives the kids magical powers and grants their wish to become their favourite comic book characters the Beetleborgs because they freed him from a Pipe Organ he was for some reason trapped in. He lives with all the famous classic movie monsters as well and I guess they couldn't help him get out of it. They did the same thing Beast Wars did with Transmetals but called it Metallix because everything had to be shiny and Metallic. It was weird but great.

[@davidphillips1444]

Would love to hear your incisions of Plan 9 from Outer Space!

[@solanumtuberosa]

Watched the barbie movie as a straight male. Bought a Ken action figure after that.

[@miajmosley]

love you guys!

[@tylerbabitz5875]

Allways a good time.

[@spooky_shears]

I loved the Barbie movie. I'm pretty sure they do say almost word for word "girls don't have to just be mothers now" but they don't mean girls shouldn't or won't want to have kids someday. They can just be more than that and aspire to more. Unlike in say the 20s, where being a wife and mother was your only value. Anyone who thinks Ken is the villain missed the end of the movie. Barbie hugs him and tells him she cares about him, just not romantically. I think it was a missed opportunity to make even one of the kens (canonically) gay, but it was controversial enough without ~the gay agenda~. I hope movie makers are enlightened by Barbie's success and give women in fiction and real life more attention.

[@crablord9362]

The Barbie movie left me terribly existential. Unfortunately the movie focused so much on Ken, despite him not being the protagonist or what I believe should've been the main focus. But Barbie herself was such a tragic character. Like literally by definition she hit all the characteristics of a tragic hero. I haven't seen a lot of people mentioning this but for most of the movie we see her either crying or absolutely distraught, as her entire reality collapses. At no point in the movie is she ever really happy (besides the very beginning) and she doesn't even get a happy ending... Overall the events that transpired were devastating for her. All the while Ken was having the time of his life, finding out about the patriarchy, celebrating with his bros and making Barbie world his own. Something about the contrast between the two of them just majorly fucked me up. The contrast between the fun, pink, plastic toy aesthetic and the deeply depressing truths that Barbie suddenly has to face, also messed with me. I don't know. Maybe because I'm a woman it all just hit too close to home. And the fact that all the discussion surrounding this movie is all about Ken is also very telling... I feel like even most people who understood the overall message of the movie still missed a significant part of it. Barbie was suffering while we were all too distracted enjoying Ken's shenanigans. Barbie "took the red pill" and realized how horrible reality is (and by extent also how barbie world was bad) while Ken did the exact opposite and made a reality that suits and favors him while hurting others. It was just so depressing to watch. Excellent movie overall, clever and full of different interpretations and layers. Wish it wasn't made by Mattel so they could actually criticize them more. Also wish it wasn't so heteronormative lol Oppenheimer was meh, got way more hype than it deserved

More content to remind ourselves that the US, in fact (according to these statistics) is far behind in democracy, freedom, healthcare, education, safety.. so on. It's sad. Guuuuys be better.

[@Redandblue11]

So hyped for Barbie!!!! 💖 People have started moving from twitter to thread, Zuckerberg is winning 😂😂

[@TEEANVEE]

I’m right leaning and watch critical drinker but I haven’t seen the Barbie movie and don’t plan to. Just got no interest. But I can respect y’all’s opinions on it. Doesn’t bother me. Y’all are probably the most left leaning channel I watch apart from double toasted but honestly these days politics are too personal to peoples identities. Like even if I don’t share your political values I should still be able enjoy your content otherwise which I do.

[@priyankaravichandhran]

So true, I also watch critical drinker and Elvis and enjoy both their content.

[@Belial289]

it's hot wet soup

[@CringeGamingOG]

I wish people could just turn off the political part of their brain when watching movies. If you’re so obsessed with politics that you make everything about it, then you need to take a break from the internet. Go outside, meet people and chill out. It’s not that deep bro, and even if it was, it’s not that serious. Just ignore it and let it go.

[@coletrainhetrick]

People will when movies fucking start. Barbie is filled to the brim with politics, near every movie in existence has politics. If you have a problem with people calling it out, leave the world itself, don't go dreaming of people shutting up and getting silenced just cause you find it inconvenient

[@JaneDoe-ym7de]

@@coletrainhetrickGo have a nap bro. Where exactly did the Barbie touch you?

[@coletrainhetrick]

@JaneDoe-ym7de it's not my fault you choose to whine and not think critically. Thankfully you have the freedom to express your childish behavior however your wish, even if you don't think people should.

[@julikanatalie1766]

that’s just not true. everything we are able to consume is political. it forms our environment thus becomes a reality. pop culture movies have a massive impact on audiences and how they can perceive the world. it is and always will be political.

[@honilock577]

What about the journalists shitting on Oppenheimer for not being woke enough?

[@Sybildis]

Lies

[@ohn9431]

🥲 the critical drinker slander for no reason.

[@velyanminekov175]

Oppenheimer needed to be slow. I think if it didnt take this long -- the effect of the ending wouldn't be as powerful to the mind. It took its time, but when it finished -- it went out with a bang! Barbie was just yet another woke movie. Nothing new under the sun at this point. I will praise it for actually having some semblance of a story, but other than that -- below average. I'm kinda upset not because I'm a man, but because I love cinema and film and I always get the feeling of dissapointment when I see that this agenda spamming isnt stopping. I might be called eccentric, but I just prefer movies who show values that come through mainly the storytelling and not entirely based on the outisde world's political agendas. We can argue all we want, but everyone knows the reason why this exist and why they do the remakes of specifically children movies -- way easier to influence a child's mind. If this wasn't the case -- then they would have made remakes of movies that actually haven't stood the test of time visually or if someone wants to retell a different version of the story. Not the same story but with the woke stuff. I did laugh at a couple of the jokes. For me at the start of the movie where Barbie wanted to be unalive was absolutely unexpected and hillarious. How can you say this movies isnt supposed to be taken seriously, but you guys take it seriously enough to react to others who took it seriously and gave a 20-30 minute explanation why. Anyways... Whatever... At this point, Im opinion spamming and no one has the attention span to read all of this, the same way people didnt have the patience to watch Oppenheimer and thought it dragged out. Just an opinion -- if they concentrated their power on making a good movie that actually has a good story and teaches mainly the so-called woke values through the movie itself, I'll probably like it. Instead of shoving their agenda and expecting people to like it just because. That's not how this works. Overrall both movies had their moments. I enjoyed one more than the other. I just hope people will stop making woke and superhero movies. Just getting tired of them.

The Oppenheimer affair at the start totally lost me. They spent way to much time with that girl and it felt like it didn’t mean for the story. It had an ark but felt like a waist of time by the end.
