Let's go party. Yeah, summer box office just went nuclear in a pink dress 21 after 10. It's Kendall and Casey on 93 WIBC. So the Barbie movie ranking in 155 million dollars over the weekend. And combined with the Oppenheimer movie, which went on in the same day, biggest weekend for movies pre pandemic.

Okay, so you're going to have to help me here because I have no idea what's going on on why this Barbie movie is such a big deal. And if it's striking a court.

Well, because if it was going to be such a big deal, it's not like Barbie is some new thing. And if they thought this thing was going to make money, why didn't they do it years ago?

Previously, well, they have tried. There have been Barbie movies. Well, there have been animated. Yeah, but why is it there been like a adult like a adult Barbie movie if this was such a big deal? I believe it was in 2016. There actually was going to be a Barbie movie.

No, you're going to laugh at this one. It was a Barbie was going to be played by Amy Schumer.

And Mattel said, no, they stopped it. Mattel, right? Mattel been very protective over the brand. Boy, that would not have done as well as this one.

I was floored because we had this conversation before we went on air that Margot Robbie is only 33 years old. I said, wow, she's a little old to be playing Barbie.

And then I looked so she was like 20 when she was in a wolf of Wall Street there. So Ryan Gosling also in the movie, how old is he?

He's old for being a Ken 42. Although he's very, he's, you know, he's Mr. Perfect man. So he's very well preserved and, you know, does all the things and has all the trainers and whatever.

So it's fun. I know I just think people are losing their minds over this. Like people are wearing pink these shows.

Yeah, they're getting photos and frames. I'm seeing parties where it's a Barbie themed parties.

It's a barbenheimer thing. People are people are going to see Barbie and then Oppenheimer, both in the same day.

The memes have been fantastic. You'll see the Barbie meme and it's like this is Instagram and then the Oppenheimer picture and that's Twitter.

Yeah, yeah. And there's like these parties. I can't just keep them back to their legit. You dress up like Barbie or wear pink.

And that is the theme of the party and there's thousands or hundreds of people at these parties. I just, I didn't know. I mean, I knew Barbie was a big deal, but I didn't know it was still that big of a deal.

I didn't and I'm just wondering if this cash cow was readily at their disposal. Let's face it. Margot Robbie is not surely temple. Okay. She is not some great actress.

So if it is just some well-assembled blonde woman and throw her on the screen, why didn't they do this years ago?

Well, I guess they were looking for the right script as well, because Barbie.

Oh, the script was not bad here.

What do you've got to wear with that?

No, no, no, I'm saying it. What is this? The Godfather?

We were, we had a great, we had a great crime drama with Marlon Brando. We were just looking for the right script. No way.
