Celebrating This Month: Greta Gerwig & Christopher Nolan
In a year that has seen a new Indiana Jones, Mission Impossible, Spider-Man, and Michael Keaton in a bat-suit… the Movie Event of the Year is undeniably #Barbenheimer.
An accidental double-feature that started out as a petty payback tactic, but became the most unlikely synergistic box-office powerhouse perhaps of all time. #Barbenheimer has made us all rethink how films could be marketed and upended traditional thinking on release schedules. Most of all it has sparked an internet phenomenon that translated into real sales and brought the box-office to a 4 year high!
But… How are the actual movies? This episode we will review Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer and Greta Gerwig’s Barbie. We need a doll of a guest with an atomic appreciation of film…
