- Marc Maron shared his opinion on men offended by the "Barbie" movie in a new TikTok.
- "Any dude that can't take those hits in that movie... they really need to look in their pants," Maron said.
Marc Maron weighed in on male critics of "Barbie" in a fiery new TikTok posted to his page earlier this week.
The "Glow" actor began by praising Greta Gerwig's vision for the film, which he called a "fucking masterpiece."
"I didn't know what to expect, I wasn't even that excited about going," Maron revealed.
He said the film, written by Gerwig and husband Noah Baumbach, creates "a sort of broad-based entertainment product that applies to the entire spectrum, I think primarily of women, and then just seep it in progressive politics and basic feminism, in a way that's funny, informative, and well-executed."
"Fucking monumental," Maron said of "Barbie."

He then noted that the film is "pretty radical," even though it "shouldn't be," especially in its "inspired" comedic takes on masculinity.
Maron cited an Insider article by Beatrice Nolan, which reported that conservatives, including Ben Shapiro, have been so incensed by the film's feminist message and "anti-man" attitude that they've boycotted it and, in Shapiro's case, even burned Barbie and Ken dolls in protest.
"Any dude that can't take those hits in that movie, they've really got to look in their pants and decide what they're made of," Maron said. "Jesus Christ, what a bunch of fucking insecure babies."
Maron concluded his video by doubling down on his praise of film, telling followers: "It made me proud somehow."
