Our hosts also discover their mutual connection to the atomic bomb itself. Then, Michelle interviews Oppenheimer's production designer Ruth de Jong who is up for an Oscar for Best Production Design and dig into where the film was shot, how the incredible on location sets were designed, and how the worlds of Oppenheimer in Los Alamos, New Mexico, and Princeton, New Jersey,  were created.
