Barbie (2023): Greta Gerwig’s Paradise Lost

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif;">Greta Gerwig’s Barbie is fantastic for so many reasons, but there was one idea that struck us particularly hard, and we couldn’t let it go. Enjoy this solo column-style episode from Cam, wherein he passionately argues that in making this film, Gerwig has delivered us perhaps the best modern adaptation of John Milton’s <em>Paradise Lost</em> in decades. Ryan Gosling’s Ken is the perfect Satan for 2023, and probably not for the reasons you think. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; color: #22242f;"> Get bonus episodes on Patreon: <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/SecondBreakfastPodcast"><span style= "color: #22242f;">https://www.patreon.com/SecondBreakfastPodcast</span></a> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style= "font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; color: #22242f;"> <span data-text="true"><span data-offset-key= "e72tt-0-0">LINKS:</span></span> <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqnRp4x_GUsqYG1CMz0hqAA"><span style="color: #22242f;"><span data-text="true"><span data-offset-key="e72tt-1-0">YouTube</span></span></span></a><span data-offset-key="e72tt-2-0"><span data-text="true">, </span></span><a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/5vW27X128PCDOs0RClbPqI"><span style="color: #22242f;"><span data-text="true"><span data-offset-key="e72tt-3-0">Spotify</span></span></span></a><span data-offset-key="e72tt-4-0"><span data-text="true">, </span></span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/secondbreakfastpod/"><span style="color: #22242f;"><span data-text="true"><span data-offset-key="e72tt-5-0">Instagram</span></span></span></a><span data-offset-key="e72tt-6-0"><span data-text="true">, </span></span><a href="https://www.cameronfucile.com/"><span style="color: #22242f;"><span data-text="true"><span data-offset-key="e72tt-7-0">Cam’s stories</span></span></span></a><br /></span><span style= "font-size: 10.0pt; font
