JOE Friday Pub Quiz: week 356

I’m a quiz master, in a quizzing world

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 dissapointed, whichever one you see.

In the meantime, it’s time for a blockbuster quiz score from you I reckon.

Lights, camera, quiz!
