Description

It’s been a hot minute since we’ve covered anything recent here on Why the Flick? So when a cultural phenomenon like Oppenheimer (2023) comes out, it feels only right to tackle it on the pod. Luckily, we don’t have to do it alone. This episode, we’re bringing back Jessica from Get Your Binge On to help us process this roller coaster ride of existential dread. Hear us break down the impact of this movie, including Cillian Murphy’s transformation, historical accuracy, visual symbolism, and the ethical dilemma of scientific discovery.
