from The SustainUW Podcast · host UW-Madison Office of Sustainability
Greta Gerwig's blockbuster sensation, "Barbie," has been the talk of the town since well before its release. Having grossed over $1.3 billion as of August 2023, there is no question that audiences are enamored with the film. But "Barbie" also has its detractors, who critique its treatment of gender and its uneasy relationship with consumerism, among other things. In this episode of the SustainUW Podcast, intern Barbies Rory Tevlin, Britta Wellenstein, and Brynne Hill explore the movie in depth, from their own experiences in the theater to questions about feminism, product placement, patriarchy, and what it means to be "Kenough."
