Is having a crush anti-feminist? Are Barbies blue-pilled? Is Ken the protagonist, actually? Is Legally Blonde a better Barbie movie than The Barbie Movie? Is it feminist to manipulate men? And what does it say about how the filmmakers feel about Barbie when the movie ends with Barbie, well, choosing what she chose? This one contains spoilers, but not ones that I think really change how you'll view the film. Leslie Lee III & Kate Willett join Briahna to break down the good, the bad, the Barbie.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S8 Bonus: David Frank, Stonehaven

David Frank grew up in Denver, CO, and as expected, he grew up loving skiing. He mentioned that Vale was his favorite mountain, and continues to love it today. He graduated from the University of Michigan, and did investment banking in San Francisco, before starting his own firm. Outside of tech, he has two kids and by the time this episode releases, he will be a married man! His family loves to ski, especially his son, who races down the mountain competitively.

From his experience in the industry and in the market, David saw a gap for small and medium size organizations to have a system to run financial businesses on. He and his team set forth to build the next generation, broker dealer platform - one that is better than they could build themselves, and better than what the large institutions have.

This is the creation story of Stonehaven.

When he was selected for the Manhattan Project, Oppenheimer was a professor at UC Berkeley. Science reporter Lesley McClurg looked into his time at Berkeley, and how he and the school itself helped to make the devices that ended WWII.
