The Joe Rogan Experience Did you see the Barbie movie?

A lot of people were upset about the Barbie movie and I left perplexed

fun silly movie about dolls who come to life But it's, you know, a lot of it is about the patriarchy

and you know it's a comedy It's a comedy about dolls

people are like you know People are upset that it's this You know like Progressive metaphor for life that it's you know that they're pushing progressive politics in this I'm like it's a fucking doll movie Yeah, it's a doll movie.

Yeah, it's a fun movie about dolls who come to life and try to Interact with the real world and there's this lady in it.

Spoiler alert who makes Barbie feel sad because she's playing with Barbie and she has sad feelings.

It's like, because I was like, wow, this is an original movie.

Like, no one's ever done a movie like this before.

It's not like anything else you could say.

It was a bizarre movie, but it was a fun, silly movie.

But at the end of it, I was like, how did people get outraged at that?

Like, it make, they were saying it's anti, I know some people personally said it's anti men.

I'm like no, it's it's making fun of dorks It's it's making fun.

Like if that was a real person that happening to them.

Yeah, amazing amazing together in that movie too

enjoyed it I just didn't understand why people were getting so upset like do you think that's you are they making fun of you are all men in this 1 are we gonna do this thing where we put all men as men, it's 1 category, we're not gonna judge people as individuals, we're gonna pretend that these individuals in this mill who are clearly dorks because they're designed to, it's fun, that you don't think what happens to them and the way it happens isn't fun?

I don't understand why people think that represents all men It's the dumbest the dumbest sort of

What was that so the you said it's like a man.

They think it's a super woke movie and I just that's the way to make

but it's also a movie about how Barbies are the the dolls that everyone cares about and Ken is just a fucking accessory which is real so when you bring these things into a movie you make them real-life Barbie land

that's how they have to be because that's how it is in The real world like that's the movie

and then the movie they go to the real world And we're what sucks and it's run by men and so this is what people are saying makes this an

I just I'm Appalled and how easily outraged so many people are.

I could see if it wasn't your kind of movie.

But that's anything that someone creates.

Well, to be honest, to be fair about that, it's also like you said it's not your kind of movie, it's also the Barbie movie.

You have to kind of like, You can't go in there walking so seriously about it.

Why would you go to see ACDC if you fucking hate ACDC?

Be like, you're no Bon fucking Scott, man.

I'm scared that people buy tickets to come and make fun of me.

I haven't seen it yet, and hopefully don't do that.

But it's alright, because I still sold a ticket.

Go ahead, sit in the front with your frown on.
