Right now, Barbie is having a moment. When it is not causing surprising geopolitical tensions, it is setting off insecure and right-wing (not always the same, we hope) men, making boatloads of money, and now has caused another major thing in the form of a breakup going viral all over the Reddit social network. As of this story’s filing, the above post — where a woman who is wondering if she was unreasonable in breaking up with her boyfriend over the film — has earned over 1,000 comments.

Dumb Money, the film chronicling GameStop's 2021 stock market frenzy, just got a trailer. The film marks director Craig Gillespie's foray into adapting real-life stories — since 2017's I, Tonya — and is slated to release September 22 in theatres.

The shocking events were…
