What the Success of the Barbenheimer Weekend Tells Us About the Movie Industry. Plus, ‘Special Ops: Lioness.’

The Watch

Chris and Andy talk about the rare success of ‘Barbie’ and ‘Oppenheimer’ at the box office this weekend: two movies that are not sequels or comic book movies (1:00). Then, they give their reviews of each movie, talking about how Greta Gerwig brought her own distinct vision and ideas to ‘Barbie’ (9:43) and how they felt about the divisive third hour of Christopher Nolan’s ‘Oppenheimer’ (29:01). Finally, they talk about the first two episodes of ‘Special Ops: Lioness,’ a distinctly Taylor Sheridan show (59:55).
