All right . Well
6:51

6:53
, and
6:56
again , spoilers ahead , so
6:58
please watch the movie for you , for
7:02
you , listen to it , always , come
7:04
back , you know , download and then
7:07
come back and listen after you watched it . Before
7:11
we do that , though , do I just talk about the weekend
7:13
? This is kind of one
7:15
of the most hyped weekends
7:18
in movies in a very long
7:20
time . Just having two movies
7:23
, two , two
7:25
like unlikely movies , right ? Like
7:27
you would think it'd be like a Marvel movie and then
7:29
something else , right , but
7:32
it's Barbie and Oppenheimer . I'm
7:34
just from the film and a
7:38
tell film directed by Greta
7:40
Gerwig , who is a very good
7:43
direct , very great director . So
7:46
so I guess we
7:48
all watched Oppenheimer in that
7:50
weekend . You know pretty much within the
7:53
the fever
7:55
that is bar Barbie , hymer
7:57
. I'll start with you , neil , like
7:59
, what was your
8:02
experience like , even before the watching
8:04
the movie , when you got in ? Was
8:07
it packed ? Like , tell me , tell
8:09
me your experience on , you know
8:11
, before watching Oppenheimer .
8:12
Yeah , so this
8:15
was probably one of the highest movies of
8:17
the years or of the year that I was looking forward
8:19
to , just because of just the nature
8:21
of how
8:23
Christopher Nolan shoots his films , his direction
8:26
, his storytelling , the
8:28
way he uses his actors and the
8:31
amount of people that are actually in this movie
8:33
like still mind boggles me
8:35
. But I was looking
8:37
forward to it just from the teaser trailer to
8:39
the whatever the last trailer
8:42
was . I remember I forgot when we was
8:44
watching I think it was Transformers Rise
8:46
of the Beast when they showed , because
8:48
I watched Rise of the Beast in IMAX . So
8:50
I saw the Oppenheimer trailer in IMAX and
8:53
that , even watching the trailer , I already saw it on like
8:55
YouTube and like Twitter and stuff but
8:57
I still got chills just like seeing it and
8:59
then hearing the countdown like
9:01
of , like the nuke about to go off . I was just like
9:03
man , I'm getting like goosebumps . This is
9:05
like ooh . And
9:08
when I was in the movie I
9:10
know we're going to get into a little bit later about how
9:12
you know we thought of it but when I watched the movie
9:15
there was a lot of , there was a lot of people like
9:17
it wasn't super packed because I saw it kind
9:19
of early in the day , but
9:21
it was enough where it felt like I
9:24
was in the old times when movie
9:26
theaters were super packed . I was
9:28
lucky enough I didn't get . Luckily my
9:30
road , for whatever reason , was kind of like sprinkled
9:32
, but everywhere else I saw because it
9:34
seemed pretty packed . And I saw an IMAX
9:37
and there's one
9:39
person literally not super fun road , but
9:41
maybe like six rows and they're staring
9:43
up and like man , how'd you afford
9:45
that , sir ? Oh my gosh . But
9:48
it was . It was definitely an experience . It was definitely
9:51
gave me chills , definitely
9:53
kept me . It's a long movie but
9:55
it still kept me like my eyes
9:57
are super glued into everything that was
9:59
happening and it was
10:02
just an inexperience . And
10:04
when I left the movie theater I
10:07
just felt like gut punched . I was
10:10
like fuck . And I knew , coming
10:12
in , like I had a feeling like here's
10:14
what I'm gonna say . The movie's gonna leave you feeling this
10:16
way . This is what I'm aiming for , this is my
10:19
intention . It was like cool . So
10:21
I came to the theater with that mindset and
10:24
even then , like I saw screen
10:26
testings , people coming out feeling you know that
10:28
way . So I'm like cool , I'm
10:30
like dude , this is direction . Screen testings were , you know
10:32
, accurate . They said they felt that
10:34
way , so I'm expecting it and
10:37
I felt that and
10:40
then some , because it was like fuck , and
10:43
it was so much the process too , I was just like
10:45
damn , what an experience
10:47
. I was just like whoa . But yeah
10:49
, like I know we'll get into a little bit what we thought of it , but that's just
10:51
like my overall experience watching it and
10:54
I felt like I actually felt shaken
10:57
to my core . I got in my car . I'm
10:59
just like . I'm like looking up , I'm
11:01
like all right we're gonna get home . It's
11:03
cool About to get
11:05
some dinners there , right , it's cool
11:07
. Yeah , probably place some Pokemon to like digest . You
11:10
know , palate cleanse myself , but
11:12
yeah , that's how I felt .
11:15
That's cool man . So
11:17
, scott , did you have the same type of
11:20
feeling like
11:22
overall experience of the movie ?
11:25
Yeah , I
11:27
think the movie
11:30
left me just like , just
11:32
like damn rich food
11:34
.
11:35
Yeah .
11:36
Or it just gave me that feeling of like
11:40
we've just done
11:42
it to ourselves
11:45
and this is like
11:48
it was just kind of watching
11:50
the start of the end
11:52
, yeah , and it's just like , oh
11:54
man , like we , like we all know
11:56
where this heads to next , right , and
11:59
it's kind of like doing that whole like
12:01
, and it's it's
12:04
like making every out
12:06
, or like it's a movie
12:09
of like , hey
12:11
, this is how , like , the
12:14
beginning of the end
12:16
of the human race is about to start , and
12:18
it's just like , oh man
12:20
, yeah , I'm sad
12:22
, but
12:25
amazing movie
12:27
really good . Yeah , I
12:29
love sad things , yeah
12:32
.
12:35
I think that was . I think that was my kind
12:38
of initial experience of it . It was
12:40
. You know , I'm
12:43
a big fan of history , I love these historical
12:45
movies and to kind of get Christopher Nolan's kind of filmmaking , you know that was a big
12:47
issue to me . Hey , come on . Yeah , um , okay , here we go , here we go . This is it , there we go , there
12:49
we go . Oh man , okay , it's time for the Band Q on
12:51
something that is like one of the
12:54
seminal moments in
12:59
just science , history and
13:02
just , you know , especially
13:04
, I mean we were in World War II . I mean this
13:06
was the turning point of the war and
13:10
just kind of feeling that sense of
13:12
like you know , I
13:17
think he did a great job of doing
13:19
the . You
13:21
know every moment counts . You
13:23
know , he really portrayed that really well , just
13:26
how much time they like
13:28
, how much , not a lot . They didn't
13:30
have a lot of time to do this because
13:33
you know the World War
13:35
II is happening . So , yeah
13:39
, I mean , overall my experience was it
13:41
was really good , like I was
13:44
leaving the theater . I was very much
13:46
in the same camp of , yeah
13:48
, I was like it was , I
13:50
was in awe , I was shaking and
13:53
also I was just thinking about the future . You know , I
13:55
don't know how you come out of this movie and not like
13:57
, think about , like , all right , these
14:00
people freaking , you
14:03
know , were in the most dire
14:05
situation to create a
14:07
weapon that could , you know
14:10
, win the war , right , because that's all how
14:12
it started . They just want to get their , the
14:14
Americans , home and
14:16
that's how they just had to do it , you
14:19
know . And it was just at the , you
14:22
know , at
14:24
the beginning of this
14:27
whole scientific
14:29
revolution , where it's like , you know
14:31
, you have Einstein stuff and you
14:33
know them just building on it
14:35
and it , creating this , you
14:38
know , creating the bomb . It
14:40
was , it was really . It was riveting
14:42
. I enjoyed every moment of it . And
14:46
it was just kind of weird coming out of theater because
14:49
you know Barbie's happening at the same time
14:51
. So you're coming out like a very like
14:53
zombie . You're like , oh my God , what was that
14:56
? And then you have people dressed in pink , just
14:58
like , taking photos of Barbie , and
15:02
you're like they're having the best
15:04
time of my life , best time
15:06
of their lives , and I'm like , look , I'm like bro
15:09
, is AI the new atom bomb or
15:11
something ?
15:12
I'm like it doesn't matter anymore , yeah
15:15
.
15:15
I was thinking the same thing .
15:16
When I saw like I saw a group of like
15:18
different groups of people dressed in pink and
15:21
all that stuff and like ladies
15:23
in dresses and peeking stuff and they're like woo
15:25
, selfie , tiktok , and
15:27
in my head I'm like it doesn't matter
15:29
. It doesn't matter , we destroy
15:32
ourselves . It doesn't matter God
15:34
Like yeah . Oh
15:36
man .
15:37
It was like two different vibes
15:39
, right , two different
15:41
worlds , like the real world
15:44
and like Barbie world . And I was like
15:46
Barbie world sounds cool
15:48
, but this is more realistic
15:50
. This is more realistic
15:52
and
15:55
you know it was man
15:58
. Like Oppenheimer is one
16:00
of those movies where you really have to put yourself
16:02
in the mindset of
16:04
, you know , understanding the times
16:06
, right , because if you're not big
16:09
into history and all that , just
16:12
understand , just putting your mind into
16:14
the like function of like this
16:17
is the
16:19
probably like one
16:21
of the like top
16:23
creations in
16:25
the world . That kind of like shapes how
16:28
we operate now , you
16:30
know , just with foreign affairs
16:32
. And you know , every time you
16:35
hear a nuke , people just start to like
16:37
freak out . You know , and
16:39
this is kind of like the genesis of
16:42
it , and
16:44
just you know the frame of mind
16:46
now that it started here , like
16:48
this was point A of
16:51
where we're at , where we're
16:53
started and now we're at
16:55
now . So
16:57
, yeah , like it was
16:59
. You know it was a
17:01
crazy experience . We'll talk more in depth in
17:03
a moment . But
17:06
yeah , I just you know it was
17:08
kind of . The weekend was insane , like
17:10
so many people in the theater . Like
17:13
you know , I went to Tinseltown
17:15
that's
17:18
the closest theater near me and
17:20
I've never seen a
17:23
movie theater packed Like that
17:25
almost was like end game level
17:27
, like when Avengers Endgame
17:29
came out you could not
17:31
find a parking spot .
17:33
You had the parking spot . Yeah , back back .
17:35
This kind of felt the same way , and
17:38
it's just because it's two waves colliding . You
17:40
have , you know
17:42
, oppenheimer and Barbie and it's just , you
17:45
know , props are the people bro . Like
17:47
they showed out , like , whether
17:50
you're in the Oppenheimer camp or the Barbie camp
17:53
, you all showed out because these two movies
17:55
are just blowing
17:57
the competition right now in regards to , like
17:59
you know , box office and stuff , end
18:01
game records , you know 2023
18:04
records , you know left and right , and
18:06
this movie's only been out what
18:08
, like a week and a half , yeah , almost two
18:10
weeks . Yeah , so
18:13
it was . It
18:16
was a really cool experience at the
18:18
theater . I've never seen that made people like we went Saturday
18:20
night , so I mean
18:22
, I had an expectation it would be , but
18:24
it was just great to see it . Like you
18:27
know , the theater's packed . I couldn't find a seat
18:29
at all . Like Barbie was legit
18:31
. Like you couldn't find a seat in Barbie
18:34
. Like you literally had the . You
18:36
really had to be a single person , like I'm , like
18:39
I just want to watch it . You can bring along friends
18:41
because it's just so spread out
18:43
, um , and
18:45
it was like that going into the fall . Like
18:47
you know , the Monday , tuesday , wednesday
18:50
, you know I was looking
18:52
at Barbie stuff . I wanted to watch the movie
18:54
. I couldn't find a ticket either . I was
18:56
just like it was insane . And Oppenheimer
18:59
was the same way too . Like over the weekend you
19:01
can not find a seat for Oppenheimer . Um
19:04
, luckily we found some , like you
19:06
know , some good enough seats . I mean
19:08
, they were every . You
19:10
know , when you're in the theater everyone has a kind of different
19:13
view point , but but it's still the same
19:15
thing . But we got some seats for
19:17
, you know , for eight o'clock showing and
19:20
, and yeah , it was , it
19:22
was , it was cool , man , like you know
19:24
, just leaving the theater , a lot of people conversating
19:26
and just like it just kind of felt like like
19:29
you know , those old Friday nights when you were like
19:31
in high school and you just watched like a big movie
19:33
and everyone just kind of just every
19:36
like different groups of people talking about
19:38
you know what they experienced and stuff
19:40
like that , whether it be Barbie or Oppenheimer , it was
19:42
just , it was just a cool vibe
19:44
to be around in the movies
19:46
. You know , as much as I
19:48
love my Tuesday $6 , 11
19:51
am . You know
19:53
. You leave the theater and you're like damn , I get my
19:55
parking spot right up front . There's
19:58
something about a Saturday night , eight
20:00
o'clock , two of the hottest
20:02
movies of the year , and you're
20:04
pretty much in the epicenter of like what's going
20:06
on in
20:09
in movies right now . And it was . It was
20:11
just kind of cool . It was really
20:13
cool . I don't know if we're going to get that . I don't think there's
20:15
. I'm not we're . I don't think we're going
20:17
to experience that for the rest of the year . I think that's
20:20
. I don't think so either . Yeah , I
20:22
mean with the movies late , it's just , you
20:25
know it's kind of like yeah
20:28
, and maybe we might start seeing movies like
20:30
that , for maybe , maybe movies like
20:32
you know
20:35
, I don't know if a Marvel
20:37
movie and the DC movie could do it , like I don't
20:40
think that's even remotely possible
20:42
, but to see two other
20:44
films like I would , you know
20:46
, I hope a movie
20:49
studio is going to make it like a
20:52
they take this day right this whole weekend
20:54
. That just came , that went through and look
20:56
at it and be like , hey , people are excited to go to the movies
20:59
. If they have two movies
21:01
that are , you know , highly
21:03
, you know , very
21:06
anticipated and put them out on the same weekend and see what
21:08
happens . You know , and
21:11
we see , what we had there last
21:13
weekend was it was pandemonium . I've
21:17
never seen so much pink in my life . Like , I was like
21:19
Dan , this is a lot of pink people
21:21
. People who usually wouldn't wear pink are
21:23
wearing pink . Yeah
21:25
, it was like a party bro . I was like man
21:27
, there's some , there's some people . I'm like , damn
21:30
, you wearing pink , man , I just for
21:32
Barbie , good for you .
21:33
Yeah , I said yeah , in my theater there's
21:36
a group of people that saw Barbie
21:38
before and I was
21:40
like , oh , this is not the move , Like
21:42
you should have saw Barbie .
21:44
Yeah , yeah .
21:46
And they do that feature yeah .
21:49
Watch Oppenheimer first .
21:50
Yeah , yeah and end yourself with
21:52
Barbie . I mean , we'll just like end
21:55
, end your double feature with Barbie
21:57
. Do not Start
21:59
with Barbie and end with Oppenheimer .
22:03
I don't even know . You should watch it back to back
22:05
, I feel like you should watch it one day one
22:07
day Oppenheimer , the next day Barbie
22:10
you're going to think about it . You're going to think about
22:12
both movies .
22:13
Yeah , there was a lot of people that did that , which is crazy
22:16
. Like I remember back in the day , I think
22:18
something we would have done , but oh
22:20
yeah , looking at it now , I was just like man
22:22
. There's a lot of people that did that this
22:24
weekend .
22:26
Oh yeah , man Dude , I remember like
22:28
back in the day , like when we were kids , like
22:30
our dads were like Like
22:33
, hey , we watched the movie and then like , oh , you want
22:35
to watch another movie .
22:37
We sneak into the other movie .
22:39
It's just like I'm like man we were
22:41
. Yeah , we were up on those double
22:43
features , man there was legally and illegally
22:46
.
22:46
There was a figure out who it was . I
22:48
think I forgot what it was there
22:50
is . I remember I forced
22:52
my dad to take me to watch the Grinch movie .
22:56
What In the theaters ?
22:57

22:59

23:03
free You're like I won't watch this , but
23:06
let me see the comments for this movie we
23:08
snuck into watch that .
23:10
Oh man , oh man .
23:13
No , I'm sitting .
23:15
Oops , all
23:18
right , so we'll let's jump into
23:20
our favorite moments of the
23:22
movie . So
23:25
, scott , just you
23:27
know , tell me something about the movie
23:29
that you , that you , enjoy . I
23:31
know there's probably one scene we should kind of we
23:33
could talk about . If you bring it up , we'll just dive
23:35
right into it . But tell me some of your favorite
23:38
moments .
23:39
I mean my like , my
23:41
favorite moments were always were
23:44
were after the bomb , after
23:47
the bomb happened , and just like
23:49
like Oppenheimer
23:51
, just like , just doing , like
23:53
oh no , what have I done ?
23:56
Like I tried to like unleash
23:58
this weapon .
24:00
Yeah , my
24:03
favorite scene was was
24:05
the last scene , like him
24:07
and him and Albert Einstein and
24:09
Albert Einstein's like . He's basically like you've
24:11
like doomed us all , you've like
24:14
you've used science
24:17
for like war , war
24:19
, and and here's
24:21
Albert Einstein who is like
24:23
who is equal
24:26
or
24:28
even better , and it's just like you've
24:31
doomed us , you've doomed us all , and it's
24:33
just like that . Like that
24:37
hit . I was just like damn . Like
24:39
even even Albert Einstein
24:41
, like the smartest dude on the planet
24:44
at that time , was like you
24:47
shouldn't have done this , man . It's
24:49
like I feel bad . I liked how
24:51
he asked that question too is like
24:53
did you do Miss all
24:55
, or whatever , and like op-hyper was like
24:57
I said like ask that question
24:59
, he really
25:02
knew the answer . He just wanted to see what what
25:05
opera would say . And he's like I believe I have
25:07
. And then , yeah , that hit pretty
25:09
hard yeah .
25:12
Yeah , I feel that conversation
25:15
was , you know , I feel
25:17
it was well realized because here
25:20
is Albert Einstein , who created
25:22
the starting point for that . Right
25:24
, like he kind of created the formula
25:28
with all that stuff . I'm not a scientist , I
25:30
don't really know those terms up top of my head
25:32
, but he kind of started it and he's scientists
25:35
kind of built upon that . So
25:38
it was almost like how
25:41
I read . It was almost like Einstein passing
25:43
the baton to him . He was like
25:45
hey , you , I
25:48
created something that I didn't know would
25:50
be this . So
25:54
that is like I feel
25:56
like what Oppenheimer created
25:58
and bringing over this
26:00
new type of scientific thinking
26:02
to the United States . It
26:05
kind of like is the 2.0 to what
26:07
Albert Einstein was doing and
26:09
it's that's how I , I
26:11
, that's how I kind of felt
26:13
about it , because it was just a conversation
26:15
of the smart men who
26:18
just try to like
26:20
find their way in the world . Right , like these
26:22
are two guys who have like we have no interest in
26:24
war , we have no interest in , we
26:27
want to just know how the world works
26:29
and what we can do to improve
26:31
it . Right , like a
26:33
big thing was Prometheus , you
26:36
know , he gave fire . He
26:39
gave fire to man . Right , he's the one who gave fire
26:41
to man . And then you
26:44
know , so we're , we're
26:46
thinking of Oppenheimer as this Prometheus
26:48
like Einstein , oppenheimer as these
26:50
Prometheus types to where , like
26:53
they give you
26:56
know what it clearly is the bomb
26:58
, the bomb to to
27:00
the world , you know , and
27:03
now it creates the arms race that
27:05
we'll see , you know , years later . So
27:08
it was just , it was just cool to see that conversation
27:11
realized , because you didn't need to know
27:13
they didn't , they didn't need to like tell
27:15
you straight up in words , right , like
27:17
you kind of , if you know , if
27:20
you know Einstein , you know Oppenheimer and
27:22
their backgrounds and what they've , what
27:24
they've kind of done
27:26
, done for this community of the science , of community
27:28
. They're like legends
27:31
, they're , you know , some of the best ever
27:33
for
27:36
them to have that conversation and just be like
27:38
you know the chain reaction
27:40
. That's another thing that they , they're , you know
27:42
it's it's just an ongoing domino
27:44
effect that's going to , that's
27:47
going to keep escalating . So
27:49
so , yeah , that was , that
27:51
was a really great scene for it to happen at
27:53
the end , to kind of go back to it after we saw
27:55
that in the beginning of the movie and
28:00
to kind of get that conversation out
28:02
the way , because that was just one of those things in the beginning
28:04
of the movie . I was like , okay , what did they talk about , you
28:07
know , and you only got the point of view of Robert
28:09
Downey Jr's character and
28:12
yeah , so , so , yeah
28:14
, that was . That was definitely a top moment . Is
28:17
there any other moments , scott , that you liked the
28:19
movie ?
28:21
Um , let me see , I , I
28:23
like , I
28:27
mean , I I did
28:29
like his like
28:32
Oppenheimer's like American
28:35
speech , like when
28:37
they like learned that the
28:40
bomb was used and and and
28:42
they're like , yeah , america , yeah , and
28:45
it was like it's like yeah
28:47
, america , but then
28:50
like it
28:52
like loses sound , and
28:55
then he like , he
28:57
like saw the aftermath of
29:00
the bomb in his head , yeah , yeah
29:02
, and I was like dang well
29:04
, like usually
29:06
, or after I watched the movie
29:09
, a lot of people were saying like should
29:11
we have seen , like like
29:14
the actual bombing of
29:16
like Hiroshima
29:20
?
29:20
Yes , that's the one Like .
29:21
would that have like , would that have like
29:23
hit the point home and
29:25
I think , like I
29:28
think it would have . Like we all
29:30
know , we all know what happened
29:32
with the bombs and everything , and it's
29:34
just like I
29:36
like my favorite part
29:38
of the movie is like him
29:41
just kind of like feeling
29:44
his weight on , like , oh my gosh , like
29:46
I have made this , like the first movie
29:48
, the first movie , the first time , when we was like , oh
29:50
yeah , I'm gonna make this . I'm a
29:53
theorist , let's go . Yeah , maybe , maybe , yeah
29:55
, it's just like
29:57
, but then , like after
29:59
he's made it and after
30:02
it's been used , he's like oh , shoot , like
30:04
yeah , what have I done ? And
30:06
it's just like , yeah , like it's
30:08
just so good so
30:11
.
30:13
Yeah , I mean that that that scene also
30:15
was one of those . You just
30:17
look back and that's one of the top scenes in the movie
30:20
as well . Just the way
30:22
, the way Nolan
30:24
uses sound throughout this whole movie
30:26
, yes , is
30:28
really good , like it's
30:31
almost Oscar worthy . I don't . Is there a sound
30:33
editing for Oscar ? I guess .
30:35
Sound editing , sound mixing .
30:38
That should be . I mean , if that doesn't win
30:40
it , like I don't , I don't know , but
30:43
the way he effectively used
30:45
sound specifically for that
30:47
, that , that
30:50
scene there , it was haunting
30:53
. It was just that's , that's
30:55
the word that just comes out . It
30:58
was haunting because it was like you look at these
31:00
people or
31:02
just like , just happy , you know
31:04
the pay , you know all
31:06
the American flags are out and you
31:08
see the bomb like his , you
31:10
know it , just silence , and the
31:12
bomb goes , like bomb goes off in
31:14
his head . And then you see , like you
31:17
know the faces , he starts oh
31:19
, yeah , yeah , yeah , yeah , and I'm
31:21
just like this is it's good . I
31:25
know , yeah , yeah , and that's the thing , like it was very
31:27
scary yeah , oh yeah . So
31:30
I feel like that was his way
31:32
of saying . Like this
31:34
is I mean , you want to see Hiroshima
31:36
, you want to see Nagasaki ? How
31:38
about if I flip it on you and actually show
31:40
it through what Oppenheimer ?
31:42
thinks it's on his head , yeah .
31:44
Yeah , and using American
31:46
people as like the device to kind
31:48
of show people just being annihilated
31:50
, and it was
31:52
super effective , like it was super effective , like in
31:55
that conversation . You
31:58
know that people are in line with the bomb , like
32:00
I . Just I just feel like if you
32:02
show the bomb , it's
32:06
just like nothing
32:08
will . Nothing will . Well
32:13
, I'm trying to say , like the
32:15
documentaries , all that stuff
32:17
that actually takes real footage
32:19
from that bomb , I don't think he
32:22
would , I don't think it would be able
32:24
to recreate it like seeing it
32:26
, you know , through the , through
32:29
these , all these doc , all these like
32:31
different
32:33
viewpoints through history , whether
32:36
it be you know , because this thing's been covered
32:38
forever . Yeah , you know . So
32:40
it's like to kind of you
32:42
know , to kind of see that maybe
32:45
like it would bring home , but I don't know
32:47
, I think the way he used it was a lot more
32:49
effective , just because we
32:52
know in our minds what it looks like . Right , like
32:54
he's kind of using our minds to
32:56
kind of signal like
32:59
you know what it looks like . Let me show it to you
33:01
in a different way , using
33:03
sound to make
33:05
it a lot more haunting and
33:07
different than you would see
33:10
in any documentary or any
33:12
YouTube video that's talking about
33:14
you know , this event and stuff
33:16
like that .
33:17
Yeah , because I think though I think the
33:20
reason why he went that direction because I kind
33:22
of was feeling that way too where ? Why
33:24
are they going to show us , you know , in like , not
33:26
necessarily the explosion of the bomb or how it's
33:28
used , maybe of like it being dropped
33:30
from like a you know Air Force
33:32
, you know carrier or whatever from
33:35
an airplane ? But
33:37
when I was thinking about , well , like this is , you
33:40
know , this is a story about Oppenheimer . This is what's happening
33:42
through his eyes , like we
33:44
, like you were saying Steve , like we know what the bomb
33:46
, you know , we know what happened in Hiroshima
33:48
and Nagasaki , we know what happened Like
33:51
. So , to keep it inside
33:53
his mind , I think really
33:56
fleshes out more the story
33:58
and the character of you know , oppenheimer
34:00
himself . And that was a great
34:02
scene too , for , like Killian Murphy , I'm
34:04
like and like , yeah
34:06
, the way it was edited , to , like the filmmaking and that
34:08
it's just a great storytelling . To tell
34:10
it in that aspect , like if you're someone
34:12
that didn't get it and you watched it , I'm
34:15
sorry , you're better at watching understanding movies
34:17
, yeah . So
34:20
, like yeah , it's
34:22
true . I mean like I'm
34:26
like also , you have to kind of like like
34:28
watching that scene , you like
34:31
just kind of made me uneasy of
34:33
also living in America
34:35
, and this is kind of like like
34:37
that's what they
34:39
like is war
34:42
, and like being like , yeah , america
34:45
, america wins , and it's just like , oh
34:47
, like you know like even
34:49
like it
34:52
was just like a mirror for
34:54
ourselves and just kind of like that's
34:57
. What made it even scarier Was
35:00
that like this is like real . You know
35:02
, this is like it's actually
35:04
now . Yeah , like it happened back
35:06
then , like that and the stuff that's
35:08
happening similar today , mm
35:10
, hmm , yeah .
35:12
Yeah , so , nio , did you have any
35:14
other favorite moments of the movie ?
35:17
It's hard to really pick one , because I just
35:20
love no one's stylistic
35:22
choice of how he films , using
35:25
film , using as very
35:27
little CGS possible . And for
35:29
people saying he probably did
35:31
in some parts , I mean , maybe
35:33
if there was like I don't think anyone was on a green screen
35:35
, maybe he removed a cloud , that's this guy
35:38
for special for visual effects . Everything
35:40
was special effects , so even a little . You
35:42
know when , when Oppenheimer
35:44
is like explaining things in science and you see
35:46
like little flashes of like electricity and sparks
35:49
and stuff , I think they filmed that . That's , that's
35:51
all their footage they filmed . I don't
35:53
think that's stock footage , so that's
35:56
that's really good special effects usage . I
35:59
think my favorite moment or scene
36:01
was the , the
36:04
when they got the word that they were going
36:06
to test the bomb that day or that
36:08
night and all the factors
36:10
that went into it and how they were
36:13
shot in the buildup with the musical
36:15
score and how the tense the scene
36:17
was . I was just , like you
36:19
know , sitting up like everyone and I feel like
36:22
everyone was tense watching that scene because you're
36:24
just trying to like whoa , like this is
36:26
how it's going down , and I
36:28
think that scene
36:30
, at least with the scientists , like it
36:32
was great to see all those actors you know kind
36:34
of being shed a good light because you saw
36:38
sprinkles of them throughout Josh
36:40
Harnett's character . He was really good in the
36:42
movie , by the way you saw I was like
36:44
oh , should he back , he back . Yeah , but
36:47
to see the other scientist actors , you know , like
36:50
Jack Quaid , freaking , josh Pax
36:52
, I'm sure , josh To
36:55
see , like all the other like science , the actors
36:57
who play the scientists and kind of working together
36:59
as like this one unit now Even
37:02
like the rival scientists and the people who were kind of against
37:04
him . And then obviously you have the military guys
37:06
like Matt Damon's , like
37:09
Leslie Groves or whatever his name is I think that's
37:11
his name Just to kind of see it all come together . And
37:13
then the way the explosion went off . Obviously
37:16
, if people know like about science , when you see an explosion
37:19
you see it first , then the
37:21
shockwave of the sound hits you . So
37:24
to have the moment where he
37:26
actually quotes Oppenheimer
37:29
, where he said it's a quote that Oppenheimer
37:32
himself quoted from , I think like
37:34
some scripture or something , like I become
37:36
the destroyer of worlds , like I become death
37:38
, and then you hear the explosion . I
37:40
thought that's just a really great tense scene . Good
37:43
cinematography . Explosion
37:46
was definitely real . I understand
37:48
the no visual effects . If I was Nolan I would use
37:50
visual effects and just make the explosion
37:52
look bigger , still real explosion , just
37:54
make it just make it look bigger , like that's . My only
37:56
complaint about it is that you
37:58
know you use a real explosion , just like scale
38:01
it up . That
38:03
scene was probably my favorite . And then , honestly
38:05
, dude , like the court scenes were really
38:08
well done . Yes , it
38:10
went from a biopic to like
38:12
a thriller and to a political thriller
38:14
and the way they questioned
38:16
it , questioned him , and the
38:19
way they told the story of the aftermath
38:21
of Oppenheimer . It was also sad . Man Like he
38:23
got , like his . He got
38:25
a lot of people in the science community that hated him . Of course he had his supporters
38:28
, but it just seemed like he got the short
38:30
end of the stick . Government didn't trust him
38:32
. You know , even like Leslie
38:34
Groves , like Matt Damon's , like like I
38:36
trust him but based on like events
38:39
that have happened within our security system
38:41
and our government , you know someone could get a hold of
38:43
him . It's not necessarily I don't trust him , it's
38:45
just you know he has all this information
38:47
he could do . It just sucks
38:49
that he kind of just got the short
38:51
stick at the end . It's just so many
38:54
good actors too . Man Like
38:56
Jason Clark , emily Blunt
38:58
, josh
39:01
Josh , florence Pugh Like she looked
39:03
shy in her moment she was in I
39:06
get that was the more .
39:08
What the hell moment ? I'll be honest
39:10
.
39:13
I knew the movies rated are . I did
39:15
not know there was going to be a sex scene in Florence . Pugh was
39:17
the one . I was just like whoa
39:19
, like five minutes in what's happening . I
39:21
know , yeah , so um , but
39:24
yeah , like those two scenes really
39:26
were really powerful to me . Oh
39:29
, and like Robert Downey Jr , like he's he killed
39:31
it , yeah , and this yes . And
39:34
I don't even think we he was on screen as much . It's a little bit towards
39:37
the end .
39:38
Yeah , it was pretty
39:40
much at the end of the movie , where he was like you
39:43
know he was , he was kind of put the forefront .
39:45
I think he did really good too . Like
39:48
I think this is his best performance outside of
39:50
Tony Stark . To be honest , Like this is really .
39:53
Strong performance .
39:54
Like I will put him in the Oscar category
39:56
for best supporting actor , in my opinion , just because
39:59
he played . He played the villain pretty well and
40:03
it just sucks that his
40:05
character is based on someone who really was trying to like take this
40:09
guy down for a petty reason . So
40:12
yeah , yeah , just those
40:14
two scenes like the courtroom scene or like the
40:16
interrogation scenes , which
40:18
is well done , well shot , well shot . Well
40:22
. The sound was well edited in this , like
40:24
the lead up to the execution of
40:26
the first test bomb . So
40:29
, yeah , just just everyone's shy
40:31
man . Even like actors who had small moments , they
40:33
shine , dude just blown away by their performances
40:36
. Oh yeah , for sure .
40:39
So I okay , so I
40:41
do want to stay on the training test
40:43
. That was probably my favorite
40:46
scene of the movie . I know it's the more
40:48
it's the . It's the scene
40:50
of the movie that you know pretty
40:53
much we've been leading up to half the movie for
40:55
, like , this was as a test and
40:59
I think they they did just
41:01
a great job of just building it up , you
41:04
know , all the through just conversations
41:06
. You know it's like it's
41:09
the very dialogue , heavy movie
41:11
, not really that much action , very
41:13
much a lot of moving parts , and
41:16
you know , through dialogue , you know they
41:18
they kind of just gave
41:21
you that sense of urgency through
41:23
each conversation leading up to
41:26
the test . And
41:28
yeah , like I'll echo
41:30
your center and I mean that that Trinity
41:32
test was amazing Like
41:35
, again , using that sound
41:37
, the sound
41:39
choices for that scene was , you know
41:41
just what you needed for
41:43
that , because you're all , we're
41:46
all waiting in the movie theater for that boom
41:48
Right , and to hear , like
41:51
to hear nothing , it was just pretty much silent
41:53
. And then
41:55
, at a random moment , you see
41:57
, like at a random moment it wasn't even
41:59
like , you know you can see
42:01
it like , oh , it's going to play the sound now , random
42:04
moment , it just hits you . You're
42:06
like oh shoot . For
42:08
me . I was taking it back . I was like , oh shoot , all
42:10
right . And they , they
42:12
picked with some you know you
42:15
don't see it coming and
42:18
I think that's a great way of kind
42:20
of , you know , putting
42:22
us in those shoes at that moment
42:25
because they didn't know how he was going to react . I
42:27
mean , freaking Oppenheimer told Groves is
42:29
like Groves asked him , is like
42:31
could this be ? What's ? What's
42:33
the worst thing I could possibly have ? Like
42:35
I could , we could literally kill the earth doing
42:38
that you know , he told
42:40
Groves like we could kill the earth . It's like so
42:42
what Wait ? And Groves is confused
42:44
what Wait ? What are you telling
42:46
? You're telling me that this
42:49
, we could all die right here , right now .
42:51
And he's like yeah
42:54
, I hope , I hope not . He's
42:56
like what do you want with theory alone ?
42:58
Yeah , near zero . Yeah
43:01
, that's what I said . Yeah , I want zero
43:03
.
43:05
Yeah , man , this is theory , I'll
43:07
tell you dog .
43:09
Yeah , and it
43:11
was just cool how the other scientists
43:13
were like how they're prepping
43:15
for the bomb . People were in their cars
43:17
, people , like you know , people
43:19
were , they were laying
43:22
down on the , on the towel with
43:24
their and everyone is looking back
43:27
. But
43:29
yeah , like that was , that was the defining
43:31
moment of that movie and they executed
43:34
it perfectly . Like I feel like that
43:37
scene just kind of just makes
43:39
it the whole half , first half of the
43:41
movie worth it , right . So
43:45
so yeah , like that
43:48
was probably my favorite scene in the movie and
43:51
you know , I think I
43:53
think my second favorite one
43:56
was when Robert
43:59
Diney's genius character finds
44:01
out he's not going to be in the cabinet through
44:03
like , like when , when
44:05
he when . That I
44:08
forgot .
44:08
That name draw Mr .
44:10
Rob Name draw . Yeah
44:12
, very Malick pretty much exposed
44:14
him .
44:15
Yep .
44:16
I kind of . I was kind of shocked too , because we didn't
44:18
really see that coming , because , yeah
44:20
, through what ? Through you
44:23
know Lewis's advisors
44:26
? they were just saying I , oh , he got it Like he's
44:28
he's not even gonna , he's gonna
44:30
, just you know , he's gonna Cape
44:32
up for you and he's gonna drive
44:34
up and hi to the ground and you'll get your cabinets
44:37
and then we're literally the last hurdle
44:39
and
44:43
pretty much he
44:46
pretty much blasted a man
44:48
and pretty much cost him
44:50
the seat . And you know
44:52
we find out , you
44:54
know he did this whole , like Lewis's
44:57
whole monologue of just . You
45:00
know him just being
45:02
so pissed out , the mastermind yeah
45:04
, he's like the mastermind behind the whole thing and
45:06
you know he got his seat who , and
45:09
you know , he
45:11
didn't get it and it was just kind of like
45:13
, yeah , that's what you get for putting
45:16
someone through the ringer like that and , you
45:18
know , thinking that there's consequences like
45:20
there's gonna be no consequences .
45:23
So so , yeah , I
45:25
really , I really enjoy that scene , but
45:28
yeah , I like that like name drop
45:30
, like , like like the
45:33
senators who , like
45:35
stopped him from
45:37
being under under thing and they were like
45:39
who's like the who's
45:41
? This one is like oh , it's a young guy and
45:44
it's like like it's JFK
45:47
man , yeah yeah , yeah , and . I
45:50
was like it was like
45:52
whoa . That
45:54
felt like I was like yo , like they
45:56
were wanting to like name
45:59
drop him . Yeah , In that
46:01
movie I was
46:03
like whoa . I didn't know . That that's cool
46:05
, I think I wonder if I feel
46:08
like they did that for history's
46:11
sake . Yeah , because I
46:13
know well like one thing also that
46:16
this film did really well was like I
46:19
. If you ask a lot of Gen Z people
46:21
, they probably they still can't really
46:23
answer what exactly the Cold War
46:25
was . This was
46:27
a really good insight to the Cold War
46:29
People like right , we really did
46:31
have like there's like every country that spies
46:33
everywhere , which is crazy , and
46:37
it was good . So it's a good
46:39
intro to what the
46:42
Cold War was like . And then , obviously , you
46:44
know I got guys like JFK . He's trying to
46:46
. You know he's on the other side
46:48
. Like you know this Cold War could happen . I
46:50
remember his like inauguration
46:53
speech is like one of the best in like world
46:55
history about how to like how
46:58
to deal with threats like this . So yeah
47:00
. Yeah , so I think it's a nice little wrinkle
47:03
they did because , you know , it kind of sets a
47:05
tone of like what happens to American history
47:07
going forward yeah .
47:10
Yeah .
47:12
Let's talk about the ending , though like really
47:15
quick , yeah , or
47:17
not really the ending , but like the overall , how we
47:19
feel about the movie . I I
47:22
it's weird because I
47:25
felt super awful , I felt
47:27
crappy , but
47:29
there's also that part of me is like this was a good movie
47:31
but I feel like shit .
47:34
You know , I feel that way .
47:35
So and I've
47:37
seen some people who I think
47:39
they take that feeling too seriously where
47:42
they gave it not necessarily a bad
47:44
score but it's like they miss the point
47:46
of the movie , which is kind of an unfair
47:49
review , like it's
47:51
like if I watch a horror movie and then I said I didn't like
47:53
it because I got scared , it's kind
47:55
of dumb .
47:55
Yeah , yeah .
47:58
I mean it's it's . I like movies that do
48:00
that . I'm not saying every movie
48:02
needs to be that way , but I left feeling
48:04
awful . I didn't feel good but
48:07
I knew I had a great experience as far
48:09
as like this movie like kept me
48:11
glued . So the
48:13
ending of it too , just the , the
48:15
afterthought , you know , I
48:17
think we kind of discussed a little bit , a little bit before
48:19
, but it just I'm on the drive phone . I was just
48:21
thinking , like man , like how many nukes
48:24
do we have ? You know , how many is Russia
48:26
have ? What the hell is North Korea cooking up ? You know
48:28
, like it just makes me think about like that
48:30
kind of stuff , like what is the point ? Like
48:32
I can't there's always war and stuff
48:34
but like what are we doing ? Guys , Come on .
48:37
Can't do anything , better , pick
48:39
up a comic play some video games .
48:41
You know like watch them . Like you know Jags
48:44
90s highlights , just do something .
48:46
Yes , yes , yeah , like
48:48
that's yeah .
48:50
What do you I can't we kind of talked about
48:52
it , but what do you guys think about the , like , the actual
48:55
ending of the movie and how they shot it and to
48:57
kind of set up that idea of , like , where
48:59
the world is now ?
49:02
I think that I
49:05
mean , it did a great job of kind
49:07
of you know , because
49:10
this movie is kind of like a PSA of what
49:12
you know , what could happen
49:14
right , like in in
49:16
the 20th century or 21st century
49:18
or whatever , like how
49:20
that could play out . Like this was just
49:22
, these were just people with formulas
49:25
, with theories , with ideas , and
49:28
for them to kind of create
49:31
this , this weapon
49:33
of that could , you know , essentially
49:35
destroy countries and
49:38
all that it
49:40
. You know , I feel it was super
49:42
effective to have you
49:45
know that final scene with Einstein and
49:47
and Oppenheimer , because there are the
49:49
only two people who know , like there
49:51
are the only two people who know beyond the numbers
49:54
, like beyond beyond just
49:56
any speech or anything like that , like
49:59
what , like what they
50:01
set in motion is again
50:03
that keyword , the chain reaction , and
50:06
and you know you're feeling the effects
50:08
of that , you know they were feeling the
50:10
effects of that and we'll , you know
50:12
, just to end the war . Now we're feeling
50:15
it in a whole different way because everyone
50:17
has , you know . You
50:19
know you hear on the news everyone's . You
50:21
know you got , you
50:24
got North Korea , like testing , testing
50:26
missiles , you know , trying
50:29
to trying to see how far they can . You
50:31
know they can shoot a missile from
50:33
from where they're at . So
50:36
it's almost like this evolution of what
50:39
Oppenheimer and Einstein and them
50:41
started . But
50:44
yeah , like I don't know , I just
50:46
felt , you know the ending
50:48
of the movie , I just kind of felt sorry for for Oppenheimer
50:51
, for at some point
50:53
, because you know he , this
50:55
is a , this is a character that
50:58
is very flawed . You
51:00
know , we understand the beginning of the movie , that you
51:04
know he , he didn't
51:06
really make the best decisions , especially
51:09
when it came to , like you
51:12
know , his affiliations with the Communist
51:14
Party and all that . And
51:17
then you know that being
51:19
getting pretty
51:21
much blowed back at him when , when
51:24
he was interrogated , you
51:26
know , and
51:28
then at the end , when he becomes like this kind
51:31
of like just a figurehead , you know , like
51:33
he's at the White House , he gets a little plaque
51:35
and a handshake and a thank you
51:37
for your service type thing , and it's
51:39
just like that's how , that's how
51:42
these scientists will be remembered
51:44
. You know , like they're always going to be
51:47
the behind the scenes . You
51:49
know it will always be another
51:52
scene . That kind of just just
51:55
kind of put the put like the
51:58
whole bow on the whole movie for
52:00
me is when he , oppenheimer
52:03
, goes in the Harriet Truman , harriet Truman's
52:05
office , and he's like
52:07
he lets him know like
52:09
his , his , like you know his
52:11
who worries about
52:13
you know whatever , and
52:16
Harriet Truman just kind of gives him the little finger . You know he's
52:18
like who are you yeah ? Yeah
52:22
.
52:22
Gary Oldman . Right , gary
52:25
Oldman . I was like yo . Is that Gary Oldman
52:27
? That's Gary .
52:28
Oldman .
52:28
Yeah , no , right , yeah Same .
52:32
And the way he conveyed that and
52:35
he was just like screw you , man
52:37
, like no one's gonna . I
52:39
, it's all about me , like you know
52:41
, it's all about the government . The government now
52:43
owns your
52:46
, you know , your , your
52:49
brainchild , you know , and
52:51
we can do whatever we want , you know , and
52:53
they were even teasing the H bomb too . So
52:56
it was almost like they're already thinking three steps
52:58
ahead . When he was like
53:00
y'all need to stop making these nuclear
53:03
weapons because y'all , y'all are trying to
53:05
, you know , pretty much all y'all
53:07
trying to , just , you know , fast forward
53:09
the end of the world , you know , because , because
53:12
there's no , there was no , there
53:16
was no like parameters , anything
53:19
in check for nuclear , you
53:22
know , development , it was just like , again
53:24
, we , we go to the arms race that happens
53:26
years later , where it's just
53:28
like make as much as you can . You know so
53:33
, so yeah , it was . I , you know
53:36
, I felt sorry for Oppenheimer . I felt
53:38
a whole bunch of different feelings , like he was just
53:40
, he kind of made his own bed when
53:42
, when you , you know , when you find
53:44
out that you know one of the communists , like one
53:47
of the people , one of the scientists in his group
53:49
, was a communist and gave it to the Russians
53:51
. So you know it's
53:54
. It's kind of like it's a cautionary
53:56
tale . That's how I just came out . It's
53:58
a cautionary tale of you
54:01
know you may come up with
54:03
the next greatest
54:06
idea , but that's
54:09
all you're going to have is an idea before the government
54:11
takes it and turns it into something
54:13
that you never wanted to . You
54:15
know , I was just . They were creating the bomb
54:17
just to win the war . Now they're creating
54:19
bombs to tickle the world or
54:22
destroy the planet . So
54:24
that was my feeling at
54:26
the end of the movie , like it was just a
54:28
lot of different emotions , but it was
54:30
just very much . I
54:33
feel bad for Oppenheimer . I feel
54:35
, you know , I feel like he made his own bed
54:37
and you
54:40
know it's a cautionary tale for the future . I
54:42
mean , how do you not come out in front of a movie and not think about
54:44
, like , what the next 10
54:47
to 15 years could be like ? You know , because the
54:50
society is rapidly changing . Every
54:52
second , every minute , there's always
54:55
something . The next , what's the next
54:57
thing ? You know we talk about AI
54:59
in our last you know last couple
55:02
episodes . Like I
55:04
was literally thinking like is AI the new
55:06
thing ? Like
55:08
, is this the sky
55:10
? Is AI going to turn the Skynet
55:13
and turn into pretty much
55:15
industrialization , as
55:17
we know , and being all robotic
55:19
or all you know are
55:22
, am I going to be able to do that ? Am I going to be able
55:24
to have a job ?
55:25
Right , yeah , it's just one of those things .
55:27
Yeah , yeah , it's just everything you know , and
55:30
I think that at that time with
55:32
Oppenheimer , it was just that war was
55:34
everything to the world , like that was just . That
55:37
was the mindset , you know . That's
55:39
why when , like , you see all these scenes
55:42
of all these Americans being happy and stuff
55:44
like that , it's , it's patriotic
55:47
, but it's also just like a relief
55:49
. I saw it as like a relief , like , thank
55:51
God , we won , we can bring our troops
55:53
home . All that you
55:56
know , it's not even the you
55:58
know America's better . It's
56:01
like , hopefully that's how I'm interpreting
56:03
that was a side relief , especially for those
56:06
people in . You know , in
56:08
was it Los Alamos
56:10
. That was the site , right , los .
56:12
Alamos .
56:12
Yeah , yeah , yeah , Mexico yeah
56:14
, yeah , yeah , yeah , because they I
56:16
mean they could have been the front lines . You know they
56:18
were . They were teased in some of these , some
56:21
of these scientists could have got drafted
56:23
to the war . So it
56:25
was almost like I have to do
56:28
my part in Los Alamos or I might get sent to
56:30
the front line , you know . So
56:34
yeah , that's just like my whole totality of
56:36
like the ending and
56:38
all that . It was just just
56:40
sad . It was sad and it's also
56:42
very makes
56:45
you think a lot Like that's what all Nolan
56:47
movies , they you think
56:49
a different way , you know . And
56:53
did he do ? Did he do Dunkirk ?
56:56
Yeah , yeah , yeah , yeah , yeah , that
56:59
was , that was great .
57:01
Yeah , yeah , that was a good movie .
57:03
His loud , yeah , it
57:06
was like that's the one where Harry Styles
57:08
he played like a total douche , right yeah
57:11
.
57:11
Okay , yeah , yeah .
57:13
Now remember I think I'm getting mixed up with that that 1941
57:16
movie . Oh , yeah , yeah yeah
57:18
, okay , so yeah , the
57:20
no , the the one where it was
57:22
like a World War I movie .
57:26
Yeah , like a one with .
57:27
Sam Mendes .
57:28
Yeah , there you go . So yeah , yeah , yeah , yeah .
57:30
So , yeah , I it's okay . So yeah , dunkirk
57:32
, I remember Dunkirk . No , it was a good
57:34
movie . That was good , though , for real yeah
57:36
.
57:36
Yeah , yeah , yeah . I mean I
57:38
wouldn't mind Nolan doing more of these
57:40
several moments in history
57:43
and putting his spin on it . I mean
57:45
, you know he's kind of two for two on
57:47
that .
57:47
But you don't like Tenant , just
57:49
always want to see what y'all thought of it . I
57:52
think I have to watch it again . To be honest , this
57:54
is me . I didn't
57:57
.
57:57
I didn't hate it .
57:57
I didn't . I didn't hate it , I thought it was good . I'm
57:59
gonna watch it again because I feel like I I miss
58:02
some things .
58:04
I don't know how do you feel like it ?
58:07
Honestly , I felt
58:09
that movie was like
58:12
Nolan's Avengers Endgame
58:14
.
58:15
Really .
58:16
Okay , where it was like all
58:18
the movies that he's made , he
58:20
has put all into this one movie
58:23
, yeah , yeah . Where
58:25
it's just like oh , you know that whole like
58:27
reverse thingy , that's like inception , like
58:29
the whole , like Him
58:32
and Neil the team . Yeah
58:35
, yeah , just interstellar . Yeah
58:37
, I think I watched it again . I
58:40
did like it . Just , I feel like there's some things I didn't
58:42
pick up on . I only saw it once , though . It's
58:47
like the payoff is
58:50
really good . Yeah . Where
58:52
it's just like oh , oh , I didn't know that
58:54
, that's cool , yeah .
58:56
Yeah , I feel like that was
58:58
his most ambitious movie
59:01
.
59:01
Yeah , that's what it probably was .
59:04
It's one of those things where it takes , it
59:07
takes inception and like
59:10
just the frameworks of those ideas , right
59:12
, time Reverse
59:15
, like all that stuff , and just like put on
59:17
steroids and just like , yeah , yeah , making
59:20
action movie , like the whole
59:22
, like some of the scenes in Tenet , is so
59:25
crazy , like because you're your
59:27
mind you really
59:29
have to find that it's going to reverse All
59:32
these fight scenes is
59:34
like they're jumping backwards
59:36
.
59:36
They make reverse .
59:39
And I'm like yeah , so
59:41
holy I feel like Tenet is one of those things
59:43
where you have to watch it multiple times .
59:45
Yeah .
59:46
Not just like just to get the movie , but also just to kind
59:48
of like just be like
59:51
dude , this guy
59:53
, this , this filmmaker made a damn
59:55
movie in reverse .
59:57
Yeah , yeah .
59:59
Like his whole thing was . It
1:00:02
was insane . I mean it's not , it's
1:00:04
not my favorite , no , movie yeah . But
1:00:07
it's one of those things where it's just like if I
1:00:09
feel , if I feel
1:00:12
up like a random day , I'll be like dude . I'm gonna watch
1:00:14
Tenet . I'm gonna put myself through the freaking ringer
1:00:16
. Like I want to figure this out
1:00:18
. It's almost like a one of those was
1:00:22
it Rubik's .
1:00:23
Cube . Yeah , rubik's Cube .
1:00:27
You know , you just try to get to the end
1:00:29
.
1:00:30
But I'd like , yeah , I do . I
1:00:32
think the one thing that's strong with Nolan is that his casting
1:00:36
and the use of the actress he casts
1:00:38
because I don't know man
1:00:40
, I what's his name ? Robert
1:00:42
Pattison was really good in the movie .
1:00:44
That freaking John .
1:00:45
David Washington , former running back
1:00:47
. I
1:00:50
thought he was good too . Like , if this is , I'll
1:00:52
wait for him to get his due as an actor
1:00:54
, dc's due for some awards
1:00:56
. To be honest , yeah , yeah , like
1:01:00
I left that movie felting , like I
1:01:03
felt inverted . I
1:01:05
was like like , when I left out the movie I was like
1:01:07
yo , am I inverted right now
1:01:09
? I don't know .
1:01:11
But , it was walking backwards to the
1:01:13
bathroom .
1:01:13
I know I'm like like
1:01:15
and and he just I
1:01:18
don't know , that movie was like
1:01:20
literal , like movie magic
1:01:23
. It's just like , oh yeah , we're going to do
1:01:25
that whole scene again , that whole
1:01:27
airplane scene , I know , dude
1:01:29
, in reverse , so so
1:01:31
. So like , after I watched the
1:01:33
movie I was just kind of like doing my research
1:01:36
and stuff and apparently the
1:01:38
boy is
1:01:40
is , is
1:01:43
Robert , is Robert's
1:01:45
character
1:01:49
, but older , like
1:01:52
like the boy who , who
1:01:55
is the son
1:01:57
of the wife
1:01:59
? Yeah , that's Robert in
1:02:02
the past . And just kind of like this weird
1:02:04
thing where it's just like , oh so , he
1:02:06
knew him already . I need to watch it again
1:02:08
now . Yeah , like like watch
1:02:11
it knowing that . And you're like what
1:02:13
? Yeah
1:02:16
, chris is a good filmmaker . I know
1:02:18
a lot of people keep saying he's overrated then
1:02:20
or he's overrated then he does something
1:02:22
like this , or he does something like Oppenheimer
1:02:24
. Then you're like , damn , and what else he's got . I
1:02:27
know , I mean , I know
1:02:29
, I know him .
1:02:30
I know him . Film is like an event , because
1:02:33
he's like one of the last big
1:02:36
filmmakers that I'll go watch a movie
1:02:38
. I don't think there's a filmmaker
1:02:40
that I can
1:02:43
put up top of my head . I'm like I need to
1:02:45
watch what he's doing next . Like
1:02:47
I don't know if I would say the Russo
1:02:49
Brothers , but like they kind
1:02:51
of are extinction or extraction
1:02:54
to extraction , they kind of they kind
1:02:56
of put their different . I
1:02:58
don't know , they have their one
1:03:01
, they have their style
1:03:03
right . But Nolan kind of
1:03:05
like he does different
1:03:08
things , like he'll just test
1:03:11
the boundaries of right now what
1:03:13
he can think of , you know , and he's
1:03:16
a great writer . He's a great writer in regards to
1:03:18
storytelling and all that . But
1:03:21
yeah , like shoot , I don't
1:03:24
think there's any other filmmakers
1:03:26
that can think of that . I'm like I need to watch
1:03:29
this movie , I think he's
1:03:31
.
1:03:31
He's , in my opinion , like the last , not
1:03:34
to say true , but he's the last filmmaker that's
1:03:36
big and huge , like that , who's not
1:03:39
doing too many visual effects . Because when I watch Oppenheimer
1:03:41
I kind of was excited that there was a
1:03:44
lot of it . It kind of made me feel more
1:03:46
, more , more
1:03:48
, more thrilled by the movie
1:03:51
, like I just felt like I was more tuned
1:03:53
in . I don't know Like
1:03:55
I love Marvel movies , but all the CGI
1:03:58
man , it's like I'm getting numb to it where it's just like
1:04:00
, like you were saying earlier , scott , when
1:04:02
we were talking about a secret invasion , you're
1:04:04
just like the
1:04:06
ending fight scene which is up here we go typical
1:04:09
Marvel ending fight scene CGI . Like
1:04:12
I don't know when Nolan did Oppenheimer
1:04:14
, it just was really nice is just watch
1:04:16
this film and see how it's done
1:04:18
and not use visual
1:04:20
effects and still tell a great story
1:04:22
, like now we see in Hollywood we
1:04:24
need to rely on visual effects to make the movie good . Like
1:04:27
just make the writing good , shoot
1:04:29
it good and then it'll be good .
1:04:33
Yeah , yeah , I
1:04:35
mean he shoots in that IMAX 70
1:04:37
film too . Yeah
1:04:39
, 70 film . And after
1:04:42
watching that movie I was like damn it , why is there not
1:04:44
an IMAX 70 screen
1:04:47
near us ? Like they're
1:04:49
all , they're all like it West Coast . Like far West
1:04:51
Coast , far East Coast
1:04:54
.
1:04:55
World Golf World Golf .
1:04:57
Is that one still ?
1:04:58
Is that one still the 71 ?
1:04:59
No , no , I think that one's gone . They changed it . Oh no , because
1:05:03
it used to be like a double Decker theater man
1:05:05
. Yeah , I think I think
1:05:08
that was gone . I looked up
1:05:10
, I looked at the , the
1:05:12
, the , what you know what IMAX screens
1:05:15
are available to watch Oppenheimer in that
1:05:17
, in that version , and I think the closest
1:05:19
one is like in , I
1:05:21
think it's like near Miami or something
1:05:24
like that . It's like it's in a random
1:05:26
city in Florida or something like that
1:05:28
. But yeah , like I
1:05:32
don't know . Okay , so what ? Okay , so
1:05:35
where's Oppenheimer ranked in the
1:05:37
Nolan ? Oh , you know I know it's a
1:05:39
tough to think about , but just off the top of your
1:05:42
head , where does this rank ? It's
1:05:44
just top three , just top
1:05:46
five .
1:05:49
I want to say three for me . Three
1:05:51
for me , it's not . It's not the best Nolan movie
1:05:54
Probably I'll
1:05:56
probably put it number three I put for me
1:05:58
. I'll put Dark Knight at one . I'll
1:06:01
put Oppenheimer three and two . I
1:06:03
might either flip in between inception
1:06:06
and here's , like one that some people don't talk about
1:06:08
a lot , but I really liked it because it was a clever
1:06:11
twist the prestige .
1:06:14
I enjoyed that .
1:06:15
I think that's a very underrated Nolan movie
1:06:17
Christian Bale , hugh
1:06:19
Jackman I'm
1:06:21
like flipping between inception and that for
1:06:23
number two , but I'll put Oppenheimer three . To be honest
1:06:25
, that's
1:06:27
how I feel about it , yeah .
1:06:31
I mean that's you
1:06:33
know the the boss . I
1:06:36
said a lot of great movies . I'm like no flipping
1:06:38
in my head , man .
1:06:41
It was hard for me . It's not number one or number
1:06:43
two , for sure . Nolan , like Oppenheimer , is not
1:06:45
one and two for me for his movies .
1:06:47
No , no , like that's
1:06:49
. I think he's like top , I
1:06:51
think it's a top five movie
1:06:54
. Maybe if I watch it again I'll
1:06:57
be like oh , shoot man , it's really good
1:06:59
. But but like
1:07:01
I don't know , like for me it's dark
1:07:03
night , oh I understand .
1:07:05
I said one , two shoot Sorry .
1:07:07
Yeah , I
1:07:09
even I . One of my favorite
1:07:11
Nolan movies is one of his first movies , Memento
1:07:14
, that's a good one .
1:07:15
I forgot about it . That was a great movie
1:07:17
, damn .
1:07:18
Yeah , I'm
1:07:20
a Memento . And
1:07:22
then , oh man , I
1:07:24
really like dude
1:07:28
. I really like dark night return
1:07:30
, dark night rises . Oh yeah , dinner rises Like
1:07:32
that was good . Oppenheimer
1:07:36
is like top five for me , because
1:07:39
I man , I like inception . Inception
1:07:43
might be like four and
1:07:45
then I'll put oppie , oppie , f5
1:07:47
. But like seminal
1:07:50
works , like like movies
1:07:52
, all like probably go back to like am
1:07:56
I , can I really sit down and watch Oppenheimer
1:07:58
?
1:07:58
three hours again , right
1:08:00
yeah .
1:08:02
Like I can sit back and watch dark night . When
1:08:04
dark night comes on , it's like whether
1:08:07
I'm not doing anything right now . I need to have
1:08:09
this . I need to have it on the screen
1:08:12
. I don't know
1:08:14
who's who's
1:08:16
his superhero stuff . Man , the
1:08:18
dark night trilogy is man
1:08:21
, I don't know . It's tough , it's
1:08:24
tough for me to to like not think
1:08:27
of that as , like you know
1:08:29
, because , like he didn't have
1:08:31
CGI , Like he was literally
1:08:34
doing this , just
1:08:36
like real world stuff , like
1:08:38
you know , and
1:08:41
to make it , you know
1:08:43
, to make those movies
1:08:45
at
1:08:48
the time when he would think
1:08:50
he made those movies now , like
1:08:53
back then , compared to like , if he made
1:08:55
it , like maybe a couple of years afterwards
1:08:58
, like you know , maybe in like
1:09:00
the early 2010s and stuff , you
1:09:03
know , that would , I don't know , I
1:09:05
don't know what would happen . There have been , like
1:09:07
Nolan , you have to use some CGI . Like we
1:09:09
can't . We can't , you know , have
1:09:13
all this stuff without . No , you know , we
1:09:15
, we need us to be big and grand Like
1:09:18
bro , it's just city of Gotham and yeah
1:09:20
. I do , I know , I know in the dark night like
1:09:23
.
1:09:23
The one scene that was really good to
1:09:25
me was when it's like it's . It's
1:09:27
like a cinema history , like no one's ever flipped
1:09:29
the semi truck with its trailer like 180
1:09:32
flip . Yeah , yeah , yeah yeah man , he
1:09:37
didn't even follow that .
1:09:38
Like I can do that . I
1:09:40
can do that Fast and furious .
1:09:42
And we'll CGI it though , vin , don't worry , buddy
1:09:44

1:09:50

1:09:53

1:09:55
Yeah , no , no movies .
1:09:58
So no movies . One is
1:10:00
Memento , okay
1:10:02
. Interstellar Three , inception
1:10:05
Gosh
1:10:08
, I mean I'm For
1:10:12
the Tark
1:10:16
night , and
1:10:18
five that
1:10:22
Harry Styles movie Dunkirk .
1:10:24
Dunkirk yes .
1:10:25
Yes , yes , like
1:10:28
the , the like I
1:10:30
think that's a better history
1:10:33
movie than Oppenheimer . It's
1:10:35
like the way that they have it , the
1:10:38
like that war
1:10:41
movie is shot is like so it's
1:10:43
like Lancy air , yeah
1:10:45
, right , right . And
1:10:48
it's just like like you feel . You feel like you're in
1:10:50
like a museum , like
1:10:52
watching , like a
1:10:56
history movie , yeah , and
1:10:58
it's like like I don't know . I
1:11:00
think Oppenheimer is is honestly
1:11:03
like on the bottom it's
1:11:06
made .
1:11:07
I'm just kidding , it's just messing
1:11:09
with you .
1:11:10
It's hard because , like , all
1:11:13
these movies are like hits Right
1:11:16
, yeah , yeah . So it's like yeah , that's true , putting
1:11:18
it's like yeah , putting off the camera in
1:11:20
the bottom is like it's
1:11:23
like you're ranking like these like near
1:11:25
perfect movies and it's just like , yeah
1:11:27
, I got pro on the bottom because I like Memento
1:11:30
and Interstellar
1:11:32
and inception
1:11:34
. I think I like don't cook a lot better , though
1:11:36
I'm just like man because
1:11:39
it was a good battle movie because it's set
1:11:41
. Yes , but , and like Dukila
1:11:43
Murphy was in the movie too , I forgot about it . Yeah , yeah
1:11:45
, yeah , he is like man like
1:11:47
that movie was really good
1:11:49
, where I was just like that
1:11:53
moment where the plane was just kind of like
1:11:55
flying and it's
1:11:57
just like , oh , that's a real plane
1:11:59
, just kind of like falling
1:12:01
in the sky .
1:12:02
And it was .
1:12:03
Tom Hardy the pilot . Right , he was the pilot
1:12:05
.
1:12:05
Yeah , yeah , I need to watch that . Yeah , yeah .
1:12:08
It was good . Yeah , I was like I
1:12:10
think about like his history in movies , which is
1:12:12
only those two . Yeah
1:12:15
, and I was like I think like
1:12:18
that movie is better than opera
1:12:20
. I think if I were to , I
1:12:23
think I would . In my opinion , I feel like
1:12:25
opera
1:12:27
hammers a better film , but
1:12:30
I like Dunkirk better because I like action
1:12:32
more .
1:12:33
Yes , I think that's how I feel about it . For me , it's
1:12:35
very .
1:12:36
Yeah , it's . Yeah , it was . It
1:12:38
was really good , it was just loud . Yeah , I was just like
1:12:40
whoa man , it's OK , here we go and
1:12:43
I know yeah .
1:12:45
Yeah , we're just , we're picking A plus
1:12:47
is like which ? A plus is better than right .
1:12:49
You know it's hard .
1:12:50
It's hard Like it's
1:12:53
no longer all nine out of 10s dude . Yeah
1:12:56
, yeah , yeah . Like the filmography
1:12:58
is like some
1:13:00
of the best I've you know , ever
1:13:04
since I started watching movies , and like paying
1:13:06
attention to them like his movies was just been
1:13:08
. You know , must see . Like
1:13:11
you know , more hate on interstellar
1:13:13
man .
1:13:14
I'm reading a lot of stuff and people
1:13:17
are hate , no , you know , you know what it is
1:13:19
. I just read him what people are saying about
1:13:21
it . I think it's because they want something super
1:13:23
science behind , behind
1:13:26
the reason . Oh , like love
1:13:28
yeah .
1:13:29
People .
1:13:29
I think that's the only reason why people want people
1:13:31
, want something with super science , and
1:13:33
like , in my head , I'm like this , this
1:13:36
. When I saw it and I was like
1:13:38
, oh , this is a nice like rap for like a movie . You
1:13:40
know , a good sentiment . Because
1:13:43
at the end it hits you when
1:13:45
, like , the family doesn't want him anymore
1:13:47
because he's , they've aged , they moved on
1:13:49
time with yeah , yeah , so it's like
1:13:51
it's love . And then , oh , it ends in dread
1:13:53
still . Yeah , it just ends like day
1:13:55
man . This , like this workaholic dad
1:13:57
is just , yeah , he's still , he's
1:14:00
still doing the work and picking his work over
1:14:02
his family . Yeah , adios . And
1:14:04
that was . That was a rough ending too . I mean , it was
1:14:06
a good , it was a good storytelling , but it's just rough ending
1:14:08
where his , his daughter , is like , get that
1:14:11
. All the family like , yeah , we love you . All
1:14:13
right , man , get out of here , makana . Hey , get out
1:14:15
of here , we're done . You've
1:14:17
left us some . But I
1:14:19
just like yeah , that
1:14:22
movie , just I , I , I feel
1:14:24
like it gets a lot of hate , but the
1:14:26
moments in that movie are just so legendary
1:14:28
. It's just like . Yeah
1:14:31
, like I don't know , I might
1:14:33
change my top five , I might put that in number three . It's
1:14:37
like you're . Like you're saying , steve , it's hard man
1:14:39
, it's hard man Is .
1:14:41
I was just thinking when we while
1:14:44
you just talk , is dark night rises , the
1:14:46
ending for that , the happiest Nolan
1:14:48
ending , I think so , I
1:14:51
think , so , I think so . Wayne
1:14:53
just sees Alfred like the head
1:14:55
, man like man .
1:14:56
I'm here , he's
1:14:58
with a sit in a cow Like
1:15:00
they're having a life together .
1:15:01
It's like yeah
1:15:04
, I think that's the happiest ending . Everything
1:15:07
else has been like well , kind
1:15:10
of people are dead , because the way it's like oh , I'm in a
1:15:12
dream .
1:15:14
And I think Nolan , he
1:15:16
has specific vision of how it ended , but
1:15:18
he said he wanted purposefully to
1:15:21
be left like that . So like the audience can
1:15:23
come to a conclusion , I sometimes don't
1:15:25
like that , to be honest . Yeah
1:15:27
, I sometimes don't . Uh-huh , yeah
1:15:29
, I was like am I in a dream
1:15:31
? Is he true , or is he really
1:15:33
with his family ? I'm just going to watch it over again
1:15:35
and just see if I can find any clues .
1:15:38
Yeah .
1:15:39
Yeah .
1:15:40
Yeah Well , yeah , man
1:15:42
, this is , I mean , oppenheimer
1:15:44
man one of the movies of the year . You know
1:15:47
, just
1:15:49
just just a fantastic film . You
1:15:51
know , I would definitely
1:15:53
highly recommend watching it . Um
1:15:55
, if you're like , especially if
1:15:57
you're into history , like you know , this is one of the
1:15:59
one of the . You know one of the
1:16:01
people that really , you know , as
1:16:03
time goes on
1:16:06
, you really don't really know much about , you
1:16:08
only hear it in , you only hear it
1:16:10
through , you know , through school
1:16:12
and through , if you really want to learn more about certain times
1:16:15
, you really have to dig . And
1:16:18
for Nolan to kind of do that movie and just
1:16:20
tell his story , even though you know
1:16:24
it's , it's the bomb , is all
1:16:26
that , but it's also the character that he flushed
1:16:28
out and you know , uh
1:16:30
, and he kind
1:16:32
of put it back to the forefront
1:16:34
, you know . So so
1:16:37
, yeah , uh , I guess you
1:16:39
have any guys have any final thoughts or anything like
1:16:41
that .
1:16:42
Um , uh , before
1:16:44
we wrap this up , Just
1:16:46
a good movie , but just
1:16:48
the feeling is not what you
1:16:50
want , but it's still a good movie though . Yeah
1:16:53
, oh
1:16:57
, uh uh , nolan's Oppenheimer
1:16:59
is like Fincher's
1:17:02
the social media .
1:17:04
So watch here , let's go .
1:17:07
Watch the social network and
1:17:10
then you watch Oppenheimer and you're like
1:17:12
these movies are very
1:17:15
same .
1:17:16
They're very similar Very same .
1:17:18
Like you feel you
1:17:21
like , see Oppenheimer . But
1:17:24
then it's like I don't want to put Oppenheimer
1:17:27
and Mark Zuckerberg in the same like playing
1:17:29
field . One's like . One's
1:17:31
a possible
1:17:33
lizard person , the other one is a scientist
1:17:36
. Yeah , basically , you know and
1:17:39
and , um , but the
1:17:42
like , the style of that
1:17:44
movie of the
1:17:46
social network is like
1:17:48
the style of Oppenheimer
1:17:50
. So if you like the social network
1:17:53
, watch Oppenheimer .
1:17:55
Well , yeah , if you want to
1:17:57
be , uh , if you want the chain reaction
1:17:59
and for social , for the internet , that's
1:18:02
the movie you want .
1:18:04
And uh , let's see what else . Emily
1:18:08
Blunt might win an Oscar
1:18:11
for her performance , because she was really
1:18:13
good . Yeah
1:18:15
, that was . She had some strong performances
1:18:17
. She wasn't on screen as much , but when she
1:18:19
did she delivered .
1:18:21
Yes .
1:18:22
Yeah .
1:18:24
What about you ? All right ?
1:18:26
Um , you find all thoughts on , like Oppenheimer , what would
1:18:28
you , what do you think , going out of the movie talking
1:18:31
it with us Like how do you feel now ?
1:18:34
I mean it's it's good to have
1:18:36
this conversation . You know it's a , it's
1:18:38
a movie that you really want to talk to somebody
1:18:40
about , just because you want to
1:18:42
just kind of hear their thoughts , because , uh , uh
1:18:46
, this movie is very much in
1:18:49
the weeds of like history
1:18:51
, right , and you kind of want to
1:18:53
, you know , hear
1:18:55
other people's perspective just to see . Not
1:18:58
, not not that it matches
1:19:00
yours , but it's just like it's just to heal
1:19:03
back the layers , cause
1:19:05
there's a lot of information in that movie
1:19:07
and it's just like people sometimes
1:19:09
interpreted differently . Yeah , it's
1:19:12
one of those ever evolving movies that you'll
1:19:14
be like . You know , again
1:19:16
, it's about Oppenheimer , it's about
1:19:19
the making of this atomic bomb that
1:19:21
you know that , uh , that
1:19:23
ended the war , but it's
1:19:25
everything surrounding that , the government involved
1:19:28
, man , you know pettiness of
1:19:30
senators , you know just
1:19:33
the communists like that , the
1:19:35
communist party rising . There's
1:19:37
just a lot of different factors that you
1:19:40
know Nolan touched on and he gave enough
1:19:42
time . I feel like he gave enough time to everything
1:19:44
, um , and
1:19:47
you know he put in this movie . So
1:19:49
, yeah , I'm just glad to have this conversation
1:19:51
because , you know , it's just one of
1:19:53
those things where , if I watch it again
1:19:56
, I feel like I'm going to have the same
1:19:58
type of thing going on , where I'm like I gotta talk about
1:20:00
it Cause there might be something new that
1:20:02
