Oppenheimer or Barbie first? : movies

What’s the deal with these two movies? How are they related?

They aren’t related other than being released on the same day. They are tonal opposites so people are having fun combining them as an unusual double feature.

Admittedly, I’m going to watch one on saturday and the other on sunday because I don’t really want to spend 5 hours at the theater in one day.

Thanks! I’m hoping my wife doesn’t make me see Barbie with her.

I think if you watch Barbie first it will take away for Oppenheimer. Longer movie would always go first IMO but especially in this case

I second that. Oppenheimer really is a downer (good though) so watching that after barbie might ruin your evening a bit :)

"I survived the Barbie-Oppenheimer double bill and I don’t recommend it"

"It’s such a tonal handbrake turn that you’ll end up with whiplash, even when Barbie reveals its slightly darker true intentions after about 20 minutes"

Oppenheimer then go to pub ;)

I haven't seen Barbie (yet) but I'd probably want to see it second anyway, as a palate cleanser.
