When you’re looking to beat the heat in a movie theater this summer, keep an eye out for Columbians in the credits.

This week, Barbie and Oppenheimer will debut after weeks of anticipation and viral chatter. The Barbenheimer phenomenon includes several Columbia connections.

Barbie is directed and cowritten by Greta Gerwig (BC’06). It also features Kate McKinnon (CC’06) and Hari Nef (CC’15).

Update: After producing this video, we learned of an additional Barbie Barnard alum: Ana Cruz Kayne!

And, fun fact: J. Robert Oppenheimer gave a radio address for the Columbia University Bicentennial celebration in 1954.

Also in theaters are Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny and Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part 1. Both have Columbia connections.

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is directed by James Mangold (SOA’99).

And the first Mission: Impossible film was directed by Brian De Palma (CC’62).
