The "Oppenheimer" Part of Barbenheimer
Listen now
Description
While they cycle through Unique Best Picture Winners, Julian, Madeline and Emilio take a moment to reflect on the most recent Best Picture Winner (and recipient of six other Oscars), Christopher Nolan's 2023 mega-hit 'Oppenheimer'.  After some thoughts on this last Sunday's Academy Awards, they dive into the movie.  Would it qualify as a unique Best Picture winner?  What is it about this movie that feels timeless and timely?  They cover the cagey nature of Nolan as interview subject, the film's exceptional writing, the surprising amount of children actors from Nickelodeon series to stay off the cutting room floor, and praise the performances and careers of Benny Safdie and David Krumholtz, amongst others!
