An epochal rise-and-fall epic of the gangster cycle, Raoul Walsh’s skittering, impetuous The Roaring Twenties hits the ground running but a couple lengths further back on the track than one would expect. It bookends the glorious ascent of James Cagney’s bootlegger with a cold reception for soldiers returning from overseas following World War I on one side and the 1929 stock market crash on the other.

But it doesn’t stop there. There’s also a Barbie x Funboy pool float, a Barbie-themed Pinkberry flavor, and Airbnb’s Barbie Malibu DreamHouse, to name just a handful.
