This is a horror movie.
Identical twin brothers Josh & Jeremy married identical twin sisters Brittany & Briana. Both couples gave birth to baby boys at the same time. Although technically cousins, the boys are genetically brothers. It gets more weird: Both families live together in the same house.

If you think a film critic is best judged by how often you agree with them then you’re just insecurely looking for someone to rubber stamp your opinion. Some of the best writing I’ve ever read has an entirely opposite take from mine. That’s what makes this interesting.

Teenagers were undeniably going to Oppenheimer. I know because I have one and am uncle to two more. In fact, my 12-year-old was annoyed I wouldn’t let him see it so it reached that young of a base. A movie can’t make that much without teens. It’s not really possible.

Also, to confront this directly, if 20 “medical errors” were caused by the same person that too would get headlines. But, mostly? This is a perfect example of how smart people can still be dummies.
In the past 48hrs, the USA horrifically lost 34 people to mass shootings.
On average, across any 48hrs, we also lose…
500 to Medical errors
300 to the Flu
250 to Suicide
200 to Car Accidents
40 to Homicide via Handgun
Often our emotions respond more to spectacle than to data.
