Happy Barbenheimer Day – Best memes as winner emerges

For reasons we can’t explain, the internet is buzzing about two films, Barbenheimer is taking over social media.

One of the films is about kids’ dolls and the other weapons of mass destruction.

Robert J Oppenheimer, played by Cillian Murphy in Christopher Nolan’s movie, was an American scientist who played a crucial role in the invention of the atomic bomb.

Barbie is Barbie, I don’t think there is much else to say about it!

Just another day in our crazy world!

The beauty of Barbenheimer is the juxtaposition of our nostalgia for both sides of the American 1950s aesthetic.

28 Days Later sequel?

Oppenheimer star Cillian Murphy has reacted to the news that a new 28 Days Later sequel might be coming.

In June, the film’s director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland revealed plans to make a follow-up to their hit 2000 horror film 28 Days Later, in which Murphy played the lead role of Jim.

‘I didn’t know that,’ the ‘Oppenheimer’ star said.

Oh dear well at least he knows now!
