On this INAUGURAL episode of CINEMA SMORGASBORD SELLS OUT we’re getting mainstream as HELL as we dig into the most zeitgeisty film of 2023, Greta Gerwig’s colorful box office smash BARBIE! No more obscure Filipino exploitation movies or Jodorowsky rarities, we’re talking about something everyone has seen for once and – damn it – we’re gonna enjoy it. We touch on our personal history with Barbie dolls (and Barbie media), whether Barbie works as a children’s film, how we get enjoyment out of films that anger the “right” people and SO MUCH MORE. Listen, friends!
On this episode of ERIC ROBERTS IS THE MAN we’re going all in on Damien Chazelle’s overstuffed ode to the silent era BABYLON, which stars Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie, Diego Calva, Tobey Maguire and – of course – the man himself Eric Roberts! Filled with spewing bodily fluids, orgies, murder, rat eating and snake wrestling, it’s both an ode to the end of a cinematic era and a commentary on the current changing face of movie-going. Fun, right? I guess we’ll see! We also chat about drunk driving, guns, Michael Madsen, Guy Ritchie knock-offs and SO MUCH MORE. Check it out!
