Everyone doing Barbenheimer have been sharing their interesting experiences from the weekend. From making schedules, planning and dressing up in colours pink and black, Twitter seems to be celebrating Barbenheimer way too much. People took it to the micro-blogging site, and mentioned how exactly can the two movies be watched. Check out some of our favourite reactions.

The only correct way to do Barbenheimer:
1. Watch Barbie until the moment she says 'Do you guys ever think about dying?'
2. Pause, watch all of Oppenheimer
3. Full of the foreboding of nuclear holocaust, watch the rest of Barbie pic.twitter.com/KnGp5Q8Oez

Having done #Barbenheimer, I can confirm that the order should be BARBIE first, then OPPENHEIMER, but give yourself a break in between. Give both movies room to breathe. Have all the emotional fun with BARBIE, let it soak in, then see OPPENHEIMER and sit with the weight of it. pic.twitter.com/IFjnh4ShSH

Barbenheimer was such a success, absolutely legendary. Both movies ruled, everybody dressed their best and a bunch of people (me included) switched outfits at the AMC. It was like gathering to witness a rare comet pass.

So I took the week off from work and I plan on doing the Barbenheimer double feature. The part I’m wrestling with is which do I see first. My gut says Barbie bc it’s less emotionally intensive.

Followed by the shared release, the hybridised fandom has sparked some hilarious crossovers on the internet, with people also curating custom t-shirts, and taking the double feature route. Well, if you haven’t watched the two already, take inspiration from these Twitter users for a Barbenheimer run.
