Topic: Who needs enemies with bombs like that?

Hey everyone! We saw some films this week, and in this episode, we discussed whether they "bombed" or not. Our Recent Review is Oppenheimer (2023), and our Geriatric Cinematic is Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964). Here's a hint–they are Schrödinger's bombs.

San Diego Comic-Con was this past weekend, and Mark and Kelsey discussed all the good, the bad, and the meh of the weekend. 

We are pleased to announce we are Team Oppenarbie! Since we did Oppenheimer first, our Recent Review next week is Barbie (2023) which is already in theaters. Our Geriatric Cinematic is Clueless (1995), streaming on Paramount+, and is available to rent on Apple TV, Amazon, YouTube TV, or other VOD services.
