Lights, camera, quiz!
Hello all, welcome to another pub quiz. As always, I hope you’re good.
What a day this is, a cultural milestone in the year 2023 – it’s Barbenheimer.
Christopher or Greta. Cillian or Margot. Bomb or doll.
Or maybe you don’t need to pick a side, and are going to do both. We’ve had our say on the two films (you can find our Barbie review here and our Oppenheimer review here) and either way I don’t think you’re going to be disappointed, whichever one you see.
In the meantime, it’s time for a blockbuster quiz score from you I reckon.
