What is Barbenheimer and why should we care?

Is it Barbenheimer, Oppenbarbie or Boppenheimer? In a conversation with BBC Culture's Hugh Montgomery, Anna Bressanin asks the most pressing questions around the movie event of the year - namely the simultaneous premiere of two much anticipated Hollywood blockbusters by two cult directors: Barbie, a pink fantasy comedy by Greta Gerwig and Oppenheimer, a sombre drama by Christopher Nolan.
