It’s Barbenheimer Day Bitches

Peanut butter and jelly, Romeo and Juliet…Barbie and Oppenheimer.

Today is the day, cinephiles. Blond bombshells and literal bombs are on the menu for one of the weirdest simultaneous theatre releases we’ve ever had.

We’ve got a WWE style super tag team match with some major star power between the two films:

Margot Robbie
Ryan Gosling
Issa Rae
Will Ferrell
Kate McKinnon
America Ferrera

Cillian Murphy
Emily Blunt
Matt Damon
Robert Downey Jr.
Florence Pugh
Rami Malek

I have to be honest…I think I’m taking Team Barbie here. Ferrell’s a little bit over the hill, but overall they’ve got a massive age and energy advantage over Team Oppie. Murphy, Damon, Downey, and Malek are averaging about 50 years old per actor. Robbie and Gosling are taking major advantage there.

We’re probably looking at an even draw between McKinnon/Ferrera and Blunt/Pugh, which gives Rae the opening to put the finishing move off the top rope to take this dumb hypothetical match home.

Both movies should be great, hopefully this kills some time in the theatre so you don’t finish your popcorn before the previews start.
