Your Ken and Ryan Gosling's Ken, there's clearly some baggage between the two of you specifically.
00:10
Did you and Ryan or you and Greta talk about what went down with them before we meet them?
00:16
Like what is going on?
00:17
Yeah, I think we did talk about it quite a bit.
00:20
It was just, you know, the sense of like, and I think she had such a genius take on
00:25
it, which is that Kens are like boys on a playground.
00:30
And you know, when boys play with each other and they play these games and sometimes you
00:35
don't even know what these games mean or what they are.
00:38
You just know, you know, for example, girls have cooties or you play tag.
00:41
It's like nobody understands why the rules are the way they are, but they're just kind
00:45
of playing it because everyone else was playing it.
00:47
And that's kind of, I think, where you find our Kens in the beginning of this movie is
00:51
that they're just like weirdly antagonistic toward each other.
00:55
But no one can quite figure out why.
00:57
Like there's just like, oh, you know, my Ken can do this.
01:01
I don't want to give away any spoilers.
01:03
But between Ryan and I, one of us can backflip and one of us can't.
01:08
This becomes a very major plot point in the movie, right?
01:11
And like the fact that one of them, again, not going to say who, one of the Kens can
01:16
backflip makes the other Ken, whoever he may be, really, really jealous because it's kind
01:22
of really cool to know how to backflip, especially because it impresses Barbies.
01:26
And so that just becomes kind of a point of contention among all the Kens is like, well,
01:33
how can we all impress the Barbies?
01:36
Because again, Kens have nothing to do.
01:38
They have no jobs.
01:39
And so they really only exist within the gaze of the Barbies in Barbieland.
01:45
And so it's just kind of a really disempowered position to be in and kind of clues you into
01:52
why there's so much infighting among the Kens.
01:55
Yeah, especially if you can't do a backflip.
01:58
Especially if you can't.
01:59
Yeah.
02:00
You can't imagine what that would be like.
02:03
God.
02:04
Oh, it looks like this beach was a little too much beach for you, Ken.
02:06
If I wasn't severely injured, I would beach you off for right now, Ken.
02:10
I'll beach off with you any day, Ken.
02:11
Anyone who wants to beach him off has to beach me off first.
02:14
I will beach both of you off at the same time.
02:16
Beach both of us off.
02:17
Nobody's going to beach anyone off.
02:22
No one's going to beach you off.
02:23
No one's going to beach you off.
02:24
No one's going to beach you off.
02:25
No one's going to beach you off.
02:26
No one's going to beach you off.
02:27
No one's going to beach you off.
02:28
No one's going to beach you off.
02:29
No one's going to beach you off.
02:30
No one's going to beach you off.
02:31
No one's going to beach you off.
02:32
