Story x Story #153: Living In A World Loaded With Kenergy (Barbie Movie)

This week, Nigel and Tazziii go pink to take on the patriarchy as we’re joined by content creators Saskia Cole and Gael Level for a deep dive into Greta Gerwig's thought-provoking take on the pop culture icon that is Barbie (starting at 23:13).

The discussion this week is wide-ranging, from the origins of the famous doll and previous attempts at a movie adaptation to the narrative itself. We delve into this story’s use of familiar film tropes as we compare Barbie to the Matrix, and give our take on the deeper meaning of the film including the issues of feminism and the female perspective. This week's storytelling tip is all about delivering a message through your narrative as a creator.

Other stories we're enjoying include: Someday Maybe, Call of Duty, Starfield, The Penthouse, The Flower of Evil, Beau Is Afraid, Primal, TMNT: Shredder's Revenge, Little Nightmares 2, Winning Time, Fruit Basket.
