The Joe Rogan Experience
Did you see the Barbie movie?
No, I have not. No, sir.
A lot of people are upset about the Barbie movie and I left perplexed.
Did you see it?
Yeah, it was a fun movie.
Was it good?
Fun, silly movie about dolls who come to life.
But it's, you know, a lot of it is about the patriarchy.
Sure.
And, you know, it's a comedy.
It's a comedy about dolls.
Sure.
People are like, you know...
People are upset that it's this...
You know, like progressive metaphor for life.
That it's, you know, 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 who's this mom who...
Spoiler alert.
Who makes Barbie feel sad.
'Cause she's playing with Barbie and she has sad feelings.
It's a fucking interesting movie.
It's like...
'Cause 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...
It was a bizarre movie.
But it was a fun, silly movie.
I laughed.
But at the end of it, I was like, how did people get outraged at that?
Like, it makes...
They were saying it's anti...
I know some people personally who said it's anti-men.
I'm like, no, it's making fun of dorks.
It's making fun...
Right.
It's fun.
It's...
You didn't think it was fun?
Like, if that was a real person, that happening to them, isn't that fun?
That's what it is.
Well, Marco and Ryan are just, like, amazing.
Yeah.
Amazing together in that movie, too.
Amazing.
I have to see it.
I want to see it.
It's fun.
I just haven't...
I enjoyed it.
I just didn't understand why people were getting so upset.
Like, do you think that's you?
Are they making fun...
Are they...
Are all men in this one...
Directly making fun of...
Are we going to do this thing where we put all men as men?
It's one category.
We're not going to judge people as individuals.
Right.
We're going to pretend that these individuals in this middle, who are clearly dorks,
because they're designed to...
Right.
It's fun.
That you don't think, like, what happens to them and the way it happens...
Right.
Isn't, like, fun?
Like, I don't understand, like, why people think that represents all men.
It's the dumbest...
It's the dumbest sort of...
How does it, like...
How...
What is...
What was the...
So the...
You said it's, like, anti-men.
People get upset at...
They think it's a super woke movie, and...
I just...
That's the way to make that movie.
It's also a fucking movie.
It's also a fucking movie.
But it's also a movie about how Barbies are 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...
Right.
That's how they have to be, because that's how it is in the real world.
Right.
Like, that's the movie.
Right.
And then the movie, they go to the real world, and the real world sucks, and it's
run by men.
And so...
This is what people are saying makes this an anti-men movie.
That's a good concept, though.
It's a fucking fun movie, man.
I don't get it.
I just...
I'm appalled at how easily outraged so many people are.
I could see if you don't like it.
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.
Right.
You have the kind of...
Exactly.
You can't go in there walking so seriously about it.
Right.
Right.
Why would you go to see AC/DC if you fucking hate AC/DC?
Yeah.
Yeah, if you're like into classical music.
It's just to make fun of Brian Johnson.
Be like, "You're no Bond fucking Scott, man.
You know that."
That's...
I'm scared of that shit.
I'm scared that people buy tickets to come and make fun of me.
Oh, no.
That's like my biggest fear.
That's my biggest fear.
Oh, no.
I haven't seen it yet, and I hopefully don't do that.
But it's alright, because I still sold a ticket.
Yeah.
Go ahead.
Sit in the front with your frown on.
