Deliriously Ranting about the History of Barbie and Oppenheimer 2 Years Late

Almost two years ago, I made a dumb video trying to find the historical link between Barbie and Oppenheimer. Y'know, because the Barbenheimer meme was relevant. Well, I couldn't post it due to the SAG strike, so here I am now that the meme is dead to offer you this long-shelved video in which I slowly lose my mind over 22 minutes. Enjoy?
