Barbie
Jim and Gary don't agree about much when it comes to Barbie, except that people who criticize it for political reasons should get a life. Gary thought the movie had surprising philosophical depth and Jim just didn't like the execution. They do agree, though, that they'd rather be a Ken than an Allan.
