E18: Freestyle | Living Between Barbie & Oppenheimer

This week, "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer" will hit theaters worldwide - stuck between fantasy and death & destruction -casting two separate perspectives of the world we live in. 

In Episode 18, we examine how both of these films represent real issues that we face and how we can better appreciate both what "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer" represent from an artistic and a cultural worldview.

Episode Highlights:

Barbie:

• Director Greta Gerwig brings added depth to the once basic storyline 

• Having the ‘perfect’ life but wanting something more

• Existential crisis inside of the barbie dreamworld

• Pushing the narrative of the aloof and ineffective man 

Oppenheimer:

• In a world of nuclear bombs, how do we still ‘live out our true selves?’

• We built out self-discovery without resilience, and this will have consequences

• You need resilience in an 'Oppenheimer' world

Cultural Relevance:

• Practically empowering women without degrading men

• Our society does a bad job at deconstructing without ‘tearing the house down’

Join Adrian and Bri in this ‘freestyle’ podcast, examining the cultural relevance of two films “Oppenheimer” and “Barbie” which hit theaters later this week.
