I Really Relate to Barbenheimer, Part I

As a Filipino-American

Barbie and Oppenheimer are slowing down in the theaters a touch after a month and a half, so I’m a little bit sad. Luckily though, my Google News and frankly all other social media feeds are now tuned with a great deal of precision to be ALL BARBIE ALL OPPY, ALL THE TIME. And appropriately as of Barbenheimer weekend #5, I have seen the two films a combined total of 5 times.

There are so many good Barbenheimer pieces out there, I can’t really compete; so that’s why my contributions are only very tenuously having anything to do with Oppenheimer (haven’t touched Barbie yet, but that’s gonna change TODAY in this article). But I’ve gotten good feedback so far on Parts I, II, and III, thus Imma keep going along this same route. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it is what I say!

Did you know that one of the Barbies was Filipina?
