5 Star Tossers

Barbenheimer: She's the Bomb

5 Star Tossers

The Tossers gave themselves  a rather impossible task: prove that  Barbie and Oppenheimer are the same movie. In typical Tosser fashion, we try to turn our failure into charm.  

Our sometimes quiet podcaster Jack comes out of the woodwork to take some heavy hits at Christopher Nolan's directorial chops and to educate Sagi on the reason why teenage girls hate their mothers. 

Jake is really out to lunch in this one, he tries to talk about the phallus, he quotes other podcasts, and forgets Margot Robbie's name.

Andy develops a  theory of the position of the Imaginary, Symbolic and the Real in Barbie. Ultimately concluding that cellulite is the Real. 

Sagi gives the most convincing praise of Barbie (which we all seemed to like better than Oppenheimer), explaining how this movie managed to survive all the possible insults that could have been hurled at it.

We discuss various critiques from the left, we ask whether Oppenheimer is a Zionist, and we wonder what was going on with Emily Blunt and Ben Safdie.

I would call this a light and enjoyable affair.
