Barbie is a weird little movie that dares to question the patriarchy. True it's kind of a toothless and tepid condemnation, but still. It's perfectly on point in any case that the two women most responsible for its success get shut out by the Oscar nominations. Way to prove the point, Hollywood.

Mirthful Hijinks for Jan. 16: Perun, Slavic god of thunder.

Perun was master of thunder and more,
Of fire and lightning and war
He carried an ax
To whack through the backs
Of people who thought he was Thor
