Barbie & Oppenheimer / Ep. 253

On Episode 253 of the Always the Critic Podcast, it’s a double feature as we review two hotly anticipated movies that won the weekend (possibly the year), Greta Gerwig’s Barbie and Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer.  Rico and Jess first talk about Barbie and how much they connected with the clever, beautiful story and commentary, mentioning the excellent comedy, its celebration of women, the resurgence of the color pink, America Ferrera’s monologue, and the killer OST. Later in the show, Rico and Jess discuss Oppenheimer, (1:01:43) including the stacked cast, the questionable nudity and flawed women characters, the best scenes and most compelling bits of plot, the musical score from Ludwig Göransson, and more.
