Me and some friends are going out this weekend to see this summer's hottest flix: Oppenhiemer and barbie.

While these two films are in practically polar opposite genres. I feel viewing them together will helps us enjoy them both more!

Both films focus on extremely influencial american icons. Barbie and oppenhiemer aka the nuclear bomb.

Obviously, Theres a lot that could be discussed about each figure individually. But thats kinda why I feel its good to view them together. The constrast can help us appreciate both genres and characters.

There are many serious and deep question we could ask when discussing both films and i welcome these conversations but im going to try and keep it light for now:

Topics to ponder on pre -viewing:

Who is more influencial oppenhiemer or barbie?

Barbie came after the nuke, what influcences did the bomb have on barbie. See bikini atoll.

Who would win in a phyical fight Barbie or Oppenheimer? ( barbie can tag-in Ken ) ( Oppenheimer is allowed 1 gadget of his own design)

Who would win in a game of chess? Barbie or Oppenheimer? The game is timed and Oppenheimer must answer ken's questions about the rules.

Please discuss whatever you like about these films separately or together!

I will make another post after viewing discuss the films in-depth.

See y'all soon!
