The cultural movie-going phenomenon, Barbenheimer! What is it, and why?! Listen and find out why everyone is in pink and donning fedoras and porkpies! Spoiler free reviews and deep dives into 'Barbie' and 'Oppenheimer', and we keep score! Listen as the infamous Barbie movie dukes it out again Christopher Nolan's biopic epic, Oppenheimer, in a winner takes all Barbenheimer showdown!
To introduce our fighters in the Barbenheimer cultural phenomenon, a weekend that has been etched into the modern movie theater zeitgeist, first we have Greta Gerwig's Barbie! Starring Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, Issa Rae, and an ensemble of gorgeous set pieces and old-school Hollywood filming techniques!
Our next fighter standing 5'7 and weighting probably 120 pounds is Openheimer! Robert Oppenheimer was actually 6 feet tall, but Cillian Murphy is 5'7 BUT NOW IN THIS FILM- he may as well be a giant. Christopher Nolan's Magnum Opus biopic epic 'Oppenheimer' has one of the most star-studded casts of recent date, and each give a breath-taking performance. Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr., Alden 'Solo' Ehrenreich, Jason Clarke, Matt D., and so so so many more that I don't want to spoil!
Barbie takes on one of the most famous IPs of all time in a true existential and whimsical dollhouse of a movie that is tactile as it is beautiful, with incredible original music and knockout performances. Ryan Gosling as Ken is unforgettable, a true out-of-perfect-body experience!
In the other corner, J. Robert Oppenheimer, well his biopic 'Oppenheimer.' This film is a dissociative nightmare come true, and one that Cillian sells to you in an all-time performance. A frightening insight into potentially the beginning of the end of mankind. Classical physicists and their understanding vs the revolutionary quantum mechanics and everything the world thought they understood about the universe is turned on its head. Enter the complicated visionary physicist and the godfather of the atomic bomb, Oppenheimer. Christopher Nolan calls Oppenheimer the most important man to ever live, and we debate exactly why that is during this podcast. Whether you are listening to this or not, your life is absolutely impacted by Oppenheimer. As a matter of fact, all life is, and that is terrifying. Nolan takes us into the mind of one of the most divisive characters in human history, America's Prometheus, expanding the medium of the motion picture to limits we've never seen before.
This is the fight of the century, BAREBENHEIMER! Some spell it Barbenheimmer!
Please enjoy, and if you feel compelled, leave us a wonderful 5-star review letting us know the winner of this bout in your eyes! We love you all! VIVA LA CINEMA!
