Whether you find the never-ending debate about Barbenheimer to be exhilarating or tiresome, there is an intriguing parallel that has managed to resurrect one of Netflix’s biggest failures from the depths of oblivion.
Perhaps you don’t recall, but it was just last year on December 30th when White Noise made its debut on the streaming platform, demanding an exorbitant budget of around $100 million for its absurd blend of comedy and drama. While the price tag may seem outrageous for such a genre, it’s the individuals and concept behind the film that have propelled it back into the spotlight.
White Noise initially made a brief appearance in the global Top 10 for just two weeks before fading into obscurity. However, let’s not forget that it was written and directed by Noah Baumbach, one of the co-writers of Barbie, and features Greta Gerwig, Baumbach’s real-life partner and a significant character in the $337 million sensation. This connection thrusts White Noise into the heart of the Barbenheimer discussion due to the film’s monumental explosion reminiscent of Oppenheimer’s work, symbolizing the constant fear of complete annihilation.
It’s an intriguing series of coincidences, to say the least. White Noise plummeted so rapidly and drastically among Netflix subscribers that it’s easy to have either forgotten about it or remain entirely unaware that the team responsible for Barbie had produced a high-budget original centered around the ultimate demise of humanity just seven months prior, inadvertently echoing the spirit of Baumbach and Gerwig’s forthcoming rivalry in the world of cinema.
