This week we take a trip to Barbieland and talk about the most successful movie of 2023: Greta Gerwig's Barbie. We discuss how Gerwig uses the Indigo Girls' timeless 1989 song "Closer to FIne" so effectively in pivotal scenes throughout the movie. 

We also discuss other songs featured in Barbie including Billie Eilish's "What Was I Made For?," Dua Lipa's "Dance the Night," Lizzo's "Pink," Ryan Gosling's "I'm Just Ken," Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" and Matchbox Twenty's "Push."
