All razor-sharp cheekbones and dull-eyed stares, Ben Stiller’s Derek Zoolander from the 2001 film of the same name is an unconventional Himbo candidate for the metrosexual era. Stiller was probably more jacked than you remember (especially by the pre-MCU standards of the time), but is Derek a Himbo or a Himbecile?

Oh, and just for the record: blackface is not behaviour becoming a Himbo, and we at Himbology Enterprises collectively cringe at that bit of the film.

As always, taking you on this Himbological adventure are your hosts Ginger (she/her) and Aandhi (404 – Gender not found; any pronouns). The show is produced by Lucas Brown (he/him) – you can check out his podcast, The Math Of You, wherever good podcasts are found.
