Listen To Our Two-Part Barbie and Oppenheimer Breakdown
We had a mega two-part Barbenheimer discussion on the podcast this week
We’re not ready to leave the Barbenheimer phenomenon behind just yet! The massive success of Barbie and Oppenheimer ended up turning in the fourth-biggest box office weekend of all-time. It warms our hearts to see movies playing in theaters take the culture’s center stage once again.
Barbie and Oppenheimer have been mentioned in the same breath frequently over the last few months, but they are very much worthy of discussion on their own separate terms. That’s why we released a two-part Barbenheimer breakdown on the Do You Like Apples Podcast this week. For this week’s Friday newsletter recommendations, we’re going to simply recommend seeing both movies in a theater and then listening to our deep dive episode on each. And please subscribe to the pod and leave a review. It helps a lot.

For part 1, we were so fortunate to be joined by film critic (and past DYLA guest) Taylor Blake to break down Barbie! We discussed our Barbenheimer weekend experiences before getting into both non-spoiler and spoiler thoughts about Greta Gerwig’s pink wonderland. Between the humor, intelligence, and heart of the movie sensation of 2023, there was much to discuss.
You can find Taylor Blake’s movie reviews and thoughts on ZekeFilm, Letterboxd, and Tumblr. She also hosts a Gilmore Girls podcast called So It’s A Show? Follow her on Twitter @tblake24.

For part 2, Drew and Billy brushed up on their nuclear physics to go deep on Oppenheimer. The conversation ranged from where this fits in Christopher Nolan’s filmography, the many, many interesting performances, and some spoiler discussion at the 31:30 minute mark.
Thanks for listening and let’s hear your thoughts on Barbie and/or Oppenheimer!
