Philosophy In Film - 072 - Barbie

Philosophy in Film wraps up our 3rd season in style with this very special episode featuring the summer smash hit: Barbie! In this episode, the gang dives into their old toy chest to delve into the decades-popular toy as she hits the big screen. Driven by an all-star cast, Barbie brings with her a passionate discourse amongst film-goers, as well as an unexpectedly meaningful philosophical glimpse at gender dialogue. Wetting their whistles with an appropriately paired beverage, Producer’s Notes leads the charge (8:19), followed by the Beauclair Synopsis (23:04), The Philosopher's Corner (29:46), with the Round Table taking a voyage (40:04) between Barbieland and the real world. Next up hitting the stage is Beauclair’s cover of Aqua’s 1997 hit Barbie Girl (72:08), with Reviews (87:10) and Mailbag (99:02) bringing us back home. As always and with pleasure, we engage in a discussion of all the philosophical and non-philosophical aspects of the film that push you a-round.   Featured Beer: Eye Candy Cherry Sour by SYC Brewing Company (Edmonton, Alberta)  

Om Podcasten

Do you like movies and philosophy? If so then "Philosophy In Film" is the podcast for you. We are three almost cool dudes who like talking about the philosophical dimensions of film. Two of us have PhDs in philosophy, while our show producer helps to keep us grounded with his wry humor and "man behind the glass" insights. Each episode draws upon a well-known movie in order to help animate and illuminate a basic philosophical theme or question. We also like to enjoy a feature "episode beer" to help deepen our philosophical thoughts. Come join our conversation at "Philosophy in Film."
