Oppenheimer had a massive opening weekend at the box office, earning over $80 million and enticing viewers to return to theaters. The entire cast was mesmerizing, making the 3-hour historical epic a must-see.

While a handful of performances have gotten a lot of praise and attention since the Oppenheimer premier, one actor has been the subject of internet fascination. Josh Peck, one of the stars of Drake & Josh in the early 2000s, does a wonderful job portraying Kenneth Bainbridge in the new biopic.
Although Bainbridge was the one manning the abort button during the infamous Trinity test of the atomic bomb, people couldn’t help but hearken back to his Nickelodeon days.

Don’t want to spoil Oppenheimer for anyone but my favorite scene was definitely when Oppenheimer was like “are u calling me a liar???” and Josh Peck said “well I ain’t callin u a truther!!”

ok my only actual Oppenheimer take is that it’s so unbelievably funny to be watching an intense period piece and have to be like “is that… josh peck?”

Spoiler free Oppenheimer review: at no point does Josh Peck say “it’s spherical” in reference to Gadget the first nuclear bomb.
