0:00.0 | As far as Oppenheimer goes, I've got the Wikipedia page for the movie open, so I have like at least a kind of a list of characters and such. |
0:07.0 | I haven't done a ton of like prep, by I mean I watched the movie, like I watched the full movie and then I kind of watched I skipped around in it to sort of like get key scenes again |
0:16.8 | I'm probably not as negative on it as you are as you are, but I would agree with most of your criticisms. I think I just kind of like the stuffy scientists. |
0:25.9 | I kind of like the story more. |
0:28.0 | And I still have like took some pleasure from that. |
0:30.9 | But yeah, that so, so. what sorry that did you say the story? Yeah, well the the thing the story the thing that the thing that I'm going to complain about more than anything is that none of this makes any fucking sets, but you know, we can get to that as well. |

1:30.9 | actually intro this and do it did this properly so |
1:33.4 | to speak sure and now I've said that on Mike so it's so it's meta |
1:41.2 | it's matter. It's matter. And cue the credit music. This is I don't speak German. |
1:50.0 | Here we talk about the far right, their fellow travellers, and what they say to each other when they think we're not listening. |
