Two of the most anticipated films of the year are both opening on July 21st: Barbie and Oppenheimer. The only thing they have in common is a single name for a title. Will you watch them both? In many multiplexes, you will be able to see them back-to-back, but remember that Oppenheimer is three hours long, so plan accordingly. Theaters with limited screens will most likely run Barbie early in the evening, and reserve Oppenheimer for later at night, so you can see both, but that is not the order I would recommend for a good night’s sleep afterward.

Anyway, the timely juxtaposition of Oppenheimer, a biopic about J. Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb, and Barbie, a live-action movie about the fashion doll, gives us a perfect opportunity for memes. Some are mashups of the two polar opposite films, while others contrast people’s facial expressions after watching each movie. And some are just found humor.
