July 21, 2023; a day that has already cemented itself in history for hardcore filmgoers and fans alike. It was unlike any movie-going experience ever before: a brooding group of film junkies ready for a three-hour telling of the story of the atomic bomb by acclaimed director Christopher Nolan versus a storm of sparkly pink outfits, in tribute to America’s original sweetheart, ready to view Greta Gerwig’s latest feminist concoction. The double-feature event earned itself the catchy nickname “Barbenheimer” – describing a war between fandoms over which film they would view first: “Barbie” (directed by Gerwig) or “Oppenheimer” (directed by Nolan).
