Barbie and Oppenheimer, aka Barbenheimer, aka Oppenboppie, aka Barboppie

This week, Peter, Jamie and Anahit (plus a remote assist from Lewis!) discuss the tale of one of the most pervasive and powerful forces even unleashed on the world, plus some film by that Inception lad about a sad scientist in a funky hat.

Yes, it's Barbie and Oppenheimer, together at last – recorded in a real hurry to really give it that 'sugar rush, existential crash' vibe. Vive le cinema, and power to the striking writers and actors! 

TIMESTAMPS:

Barbenheimer as a cultural moment (2:00)
Oppenheimer review (5:20)
Lewis' Barbie review *a little bit spoilery* (17:00)
