It's finally here... Barbenheimer weekend is upon us! But today we're talking about the "heimer" bit.
The film has been talked about A LOT, and is actually a terrific watch. The editing, the sound, the script, and of course, the acting are all on point. But one thing that struck me was the frankly bizarre cast, which sees actors from all sorts of random projects I've seen come together in one feature film.
People talking about the Barbie movie cast, but I swear Oppenheimer is wilder. Watching it was like opening an advent calendar of super random people for four hours straight #Oppenheimer#Barbenheimerpic.twitter.com/GPLV5hV6Ih
After that, it's pretty much an almost farcical parade of famous actors who just pop up out of nowhere to deliver a few lines or pick up a beaker, and then disappear again. Seriously, I'm waiting for the SNL sketch on this.
