Part 7/10:
Switching gears, the host turns to the popularity of the Barbie movie—an anticipated release that, despite its commercial success, has stirred controversy. The host admits he's eager to see the film, even criticizing the "white feminism" label often attached to Barbie's cultural persona but expressing a desire to experience the film firsthand.
Organizing a Private Screening in Portland
To indulge his curiosity, the host announces an exclusive event: renting out a theater in Portland to watch Barbie with a small group of 20 people. Participants must be masked, wearing high-filtration masks like N-95s or P100s, to ensure safety during the pandemic. The event is careful to enforce strict rules: no concessions, no mask removal inside the theater, and limited attendance to minimize risk.
