Episode 40: After nearly two years of requests to cover it, the Pink Aisle is finally tackling the beloved web series, Barbie: Life in the Dreamhouse! Joining us on this wacky romp is the lovely Laura Crone to try to understand what makes so many people enjoy this entry into the Barbie canon, and we don't see it as much in the property. Laura Crone is a video creator who produces wonderful essays...

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 j...

Episode 37: Well Folks, we finally did it. We have seen every single Barbie Movie (at least until Barbie's Perfect Christmas) up to date and we are now heading into uncharted territory with the future of the Pink Aisle. Though what a good place to end on with Barbie Dolphin Magic, a movie that is a nice return to form with the sisters, himbo Ken, a gay coded villain, and a mermaid that is set to b...

Episode 36: Gamers Rise Up! Because we are going to embark on a digital adventure with Barbie in Barbie: Video Game Hero; a movie filled with Minecraft references, a plot ripped straight from The Emoji Movie, and even basically Hatsune Miku!

Episode 34: Boy howdy, do Barbie and Her Sister's get into some shenanigans in Barbie and Her Sister's in a Puppy Chase. Watch as Henry gets very annoyed while Barbie and her sisters galavant through dangerous island territory while casually making up legends about the local culture that have no basis in reality!

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. DISCLAIM...

Episode 32: Space... the final frontier... These are the voyages of Emma and Henry discussing Barbie: Star Light Adventure. Their two hour mission: to discuss underutilized characters and planets, to explore the potential of a more in depth script, to boldly go where no Barbie podcast has ever gone before!

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. Read the Frankenstein Barbie adaptation that we somehow inspired written by C...

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 ou...

Episode 29: Holy cow, listener, are you in for a buck wild ride as we party with Barbie in Rock 'N Royals, a movie filled with magical forcefields, unicorns, acapella, horny camp owners, and some really fun characters.

Episode 28: In this episode, we see Barbie follow the Superhero trend with Barbie in Princess Power, a film that will awaken Henry's comic book knowledge and get him to talk a lot about superheroes.

Episode 27: Whelp listener, this week in the Pink Aisle, we have now encountered one of the more bizarre entries into the Barbie Series, Barbie and the Secret Door; a film with strange creatures, strange songs, and many, many strange writing decisions. Its gonna be magic, magic, Baby! Read the Frankenstein Barbie adaptation that we somehow inspired written by Casi R. at  https://www.fanfiction.net...

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 commi...

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.

Episode 24: For one last time, we journey through the rainbow as we arrive in Fairytopia in Barbie: Mariposa & the Fairy Princess.

Episode 23: 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. Read the Frankenstein Barbie adaptation that we somehow ins...

Episode 22: 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 abou...

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.

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?
