Barbie as a Deconstruction Text, Patriarchy 101, and Why We're Not into Predestination

Faith Adjacent

Hop in the Chevy with Barbie and Ken as we take a journey to Barbieland in this latest Sacred Cinema episode! Erin and Jamie are dissecting the 2023 cinematic spectacular Barbie for secular and spiritual themes while also answering listener questions about things like predestination and deconstruction. Is this movie secretly a guide for men about the patriarchy, and are there moments in this movie that you should unpack with a religious trauma therapist? You’ll have to listen to find out!
