This week, we are joined by Sam Marchiony to discuss The Pirate Fairy, a movie that introduced many to the Disney Fairies franchise by the merit of a certain Tom Hiddleston in the cast.

Episode 38: Happy Holidays from the Pink Aisle! Today we are going to be officially completing our trek through the Barbie Movies, Barbie: a Perfect Christmas. If you ever wanted to know what it would be like to watch a Hallmark Christmas movie set in purgatory, that's a pretty close vibe to the movie we have for you on this Christmas eve. So be sure to sit by the fire, drink that hot cocoa, and join us in the eternal void trapping us that is the pink aisle.

This is part one of three of our retrospective mini-series examining the life and legacy of Barbie's creator, Ruth Handler. In this section, we explore Handler's early life as Henry explains to Emma the different challenges she and her husband faced before creating the doll we all know and love, including scandalous marriages, antisemitism, a changing manufacturing industry, and a something called a Uke-a-Doodle. What does all of this have to do with Barbie? Listen and find out!

Episode 33: As a departure from our usual episodes, Emma and Henry take the time to discuss and review the newly released movie, 2020's Barbie Princess Adventure. Listen as we see this new cast of characters, interesting songs, and random goats and Try it on! (it makes more sense when you see the movie). Aside from that, SPOILERS for the new movie if you want to go in blind to this movie.

DISCLAIMER: Since the publishing of this episode, a listener got into contact with us and pointed out some problems with our last episode. In it, we talked about how the Nikki dolls started to use "More accurate black hair" compared to older dolls, but this was not accurate. Though we did want to make a point of Barbie and Mattel's efforts of increasing diversity within the brand, we reinforced the idea that there is a "right" way to be black or a person of color, when there is in fact a wide amount of diversity to be seen in and outside of media. We try to call out any examples of racially "questionable" things whenever we see them. Though we haven't done as good a job as we could do when it comes to articulating these thoughts and observations, which has resulted in us perpetuating these same things. We don't want to say this as an excuse or as a request for forgiveness, but we do want to further commit to our goal of addressing these topics with more maturity and foresight through research and listening to more perspectives about Barbie and her place in history.

Episode 31: This week, we are locked and loaded to talk Barbie: Spy Squad, a movie where we get to see Barbie act as an unregulated agent of the law. And sure the agency willfully endangers the whole world in a situation that we of their own making, but at least they have at least 97% less fetish fuel than Totally Spies.

Episode 30: For today's episode, we go down a road of many tangents as we discuss Barbie and Her Sister's in the Great Puppy Adventure. Which is... certainly a movie. Two movies, in fact, Goonies and Air buddies. In addition to that we contemplate the eldritch implications of the setting, what an Ari Aster Barbie movie would look like, and the many great movies and shows that the crew worked on outside of this movie.

If the nearly two-hour length isn't an indication enough, Emma and Henry had some fun with this one.

Episode 26:

This week, we watch another mermaid movie with Barbie: The Pearl Princess. What makes this movie different from the other mermaid movies? Well! We have a great menagerie of needless cruelty to fish, an amazing Old Crone character that deserves more screen time, a creepy octopus, and some crotch pearls. What more could you want?

Since our last episode, Mattel posted that they will commit money towards NAACP Youth programs and other black education programs. While we are unsure if we had any hand in this, we know that the fight is still continuing, and we encourage you to visit https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/ to see how you can further help fight against racial injustice in this country. In addition to this, Henry will be performing in a charity stream for the National Bail fund on June 20th, 5pm EST, where he will be performing with the Worlds Elsewhere Theatre company in their production of A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Episode 25:

Before we get to talking about the latest barbie movie Barbie and her Sisters in a Pony Tale, we want to put a call out to all of our listeners to stand with us in solidarity of black Americans throughout the country that are continually murdered and exploited by our justice system. While we suggest you look into http://blacklivesmatter.carrd.co/ to see how you can volunteer, protest, and donate. We also want you to help us get Mattel to donate to these causes as well by emailing the Mattel Children's Foundation at Foundation@mattel.com and demanding that they commit to their promises to "Stand in solidarity with [their] Black colleagues and the entire Black community." by financially supporting those who need it most.

We have provided a document that you can copy and paste in your email to the foundation, any call to action is appreciated: https://bit.ly/PayUpMattel 

We hope you stay safe and strong out there, and we hope justice is achieved. #Blacklivesmatter #PayUpMattel

Rejoice and regale, listeners! Today we have a special return to form with Barbie in the Pink Shoes, one of the best modern barbies that we have seen in recent memory, filled with clever humor, classically inspired setpieces, interesting character dynamics, and a wide diversity of himbos within our lens. Truly, a blessed film.

This week, we revisit a somewhat controversial retelling of the classic film Barbie: Princess and the Pauper. In Barbie: Princess and the Popstar, we will go into the buck wild decisions that were made with this film and the utterly strange tangents that it takes us to. But who knows, perhaps this film will surpass the quality of the original? Perhaps? Probably not, but we'll talk about it anyway.

Episode 21: This week, we revisit the Queen of the Wave, Merliah, as she embarks on her second underwhelming journey to defeat another magic beam lady in Barbie: A Mermaid's Tale 2; a movie with gay fishies, flagrant disrespect of Polynesian cuisine, and a total lack of development.

Episode 20: 

With our 20th episode of the podcast, it feels appropriate that we discuss by far the most disturbing, thought-provoking, bizarre entry in the Barbie canon, Barbie: Princess Charm School. We hope you enjoy our attempt at understanding this story.

Episode 19:

Hey Guys... I hope we haven't missed anything important, because today we are talking about Barbie: A Fairy Secret, a story where we get to see a wonderous oversaturated fairy kingdom, a battle of the himbos, and the most challenging enemies-to-friends story we've seen in these movies so far.

Episode 18: This week, we take a one way trip to Paris, France as we join Barbie getting her groove back in Barbie: A Fashion Fairytale. You know what that means, right? Sparkle dresses, magical help, a himbo love interest, and a horde of zombie peas! What do you mean you weren't expecting that?

In anticipation of Greta Gerwig's Barbie movie slated to release in July 2023, The Pink Aisle has a short episode discussing different elements to the latest teaser released for the movie; including the homage to 2001: A Space Odyssey, the new additions to the cast, and our hopes for the story for this film. This is going to be a more informal episode that isn't as polished as our other stuff, but we hope this will be enjoyable as we work to bring you more Pink Aisle goodness in the new year!

Episode 17: This week, we will be joined by writer and video creator Sarah Zedig as we dive into the wondrous realm of Oceana in Barbie: A Mermaid's Tale.
