Podcaster Joe Rogan marveled Tuesday at the political outrage that resulted from the new “Barbie” film that he described simply as a “fun movie” about “dolls who come to life.”
“A lot of people are upset about the Barbie movie, and I left perplexed,” Rogan said to his guest, Post Malone, describing it as merely a “fun, silly movie about dolls who come to life.”
“But a lot of it is about the patriarchy, and it’s a comedy, it’s a comedy about dolls,” he said. “People are upset that it’s this progressive metaphor for life that they’re pushing progressive politics in this, and I’m like, ‘It’s a f—— doll movie!’ It’s a doll movie. It’s a fun movie about dolls who come to life and try to interact with the real world,” he argued.
“No one’s ever done a movie like this before. This is not like anything else you could say. It was a bizarre movie, but it was a fun, silly movie, I laughed,” he said. “But at the end of it I was like, ‘How did people get outraged at that?’ I know some people personally who said it’s anti-men. I’m like, ‘No, it’s making fun of dorks.’”
