It only takes one person to suck the living joy out of something people love. The audience worldwide has immensely enjoyed ‘Barbie.’ It has surpassed Christopher Nolan’s ‘Oppenheimer.’ and made over one billion at the global box office. But as the saying goes, you can not win them all.

For every Bill Maher, there’s a Marc Maron to defend the ‘Barbie’ experience. The comedian and podcaster is full of praise for the movie. He hailed the movie as a “masterpiece” for perfectly balancing tonal shifts between comedy and drama. Marc Maron gave a piece of his mind to men offended by the movie.
Marc Maron said, “The fact that certain men took offense, is so embarrassing for them. I mean, so embarrassing for them, Any dude who can’t take those hits in that movie, they’ve really gotta look in their pants and decide what they’re made of.
