Ah, sci-fi in the sixties, sexually liberated, costumes changes abound, and not a single plot thread connected to another. It's hard to fathom why things ever changed, today's "modern" sci-fi is so fixated on being "coherent" and "understood."

Pssshah! I say.

Danica LeBlanc, Anita Bourgeois and Erin Beever are back to break down the psychedelic mess that is Barbarella. Together they relish in its beautiful set design and ponder its plethora of literal boob windows.

Pssshah! I say.
