In Legally Blonde, Elle Woods follows her ex to Harvard Law to win him back—only to realize she’s way too good for him. But does the movie actually challenge the system, or just find a way to play by its rules?

This week, Brandon Kyle Goodman (Big Mouth, Tell Me Something Messy) joins DB to talk about why this movie still resonates, where it falls short on representation, and whether its brand of feminism is as empowering as we remember.

Plus: the camp, the class privilege, and why Hollywood can’t let a woman succeed without giving her a love story.
