This Week: Barbenheimer

This weekend saw the simultaneous release of two highly anticipated, diametrically opposed summer blockbusters—Greta Gerwig’s Barbie and Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer—in a spectacular double-feature event dubbed “Barbenheimer.”

In honor of this much-memed cinematic phenomenon, The Listies will take a look back at the films of Gerwig and Nolan, the history of unlikely movie match-ups, and some of the very best pink things!

Dive into Directors 🎥
We watched and ranked every feature film from Gerwig and Nolan (including Barbenheimer, of course)

The Acting Arena 🎭
Gerwig and Nolan have both worked with a “who’s who” of Hollywood, so it just made sense to look at back at the top five performances from each of their filmographies

Historical Movie Match-ups 🏆
We compared initial box office numbers 📈 and critical responses 📝 for a few other cinematic double whammies, then selected our personal "weekend winner"

Pink Things 🩷
