Pass the popcorn
Rudy and Eagle are joining forces for a new platform called Pass the Popcorn. A platform created for the BIPOC nerds in our midst to freely and happily discuss epic films and series in the world of fantasy, sci-fi, horror, superheroes and everything in between.
Why are THOTD's wigs so bad? Will Idris Elba ever be our James Bond? Is NOPE about your 15 min of fame? And let's be honest, Halle? The best mermaid ever right? Through specials, premieres, events and talks, the two creatives will set up a place where it's all ok to spend hours discussing these kinds of topics. Join these Blerds!
Barbie
In 1959, Barbie was born. Ruth Handler, one of the founders of toy manufacturer Mattel, then came up with the idea of marketing an elegant fashion doll for girls and she named the doll after her baby daughter Barbara. It turned out to be a golden move, and Barbie is still popular today. Countless times the doll has featured in stop-motion and animated films, director Greta Gerwig (Frances Ha, Ladybird) has now made the first live-action film with Margot Robbie as Barbie. Of course, Ken is also in it, played by Ryan Gosling. Helen Mirren and Dua Lippa also make an appearance. Gerwig wrote the screenplay for this delightful comedy together with Noah Baumbach.
In Barbieland, everything is perfect, especially Barbie herself. Yet she increasingly begins to question the meaning and purpose of everything; she finds herself in an existential crisis. During her search for meaning and herself, she meets Ken. With him, she travels to the 'real' world...
