This week on Fabulous Film & Friends we are going to delve into the obsessions of the auteur with this past Summer’s Oppenheimer directed by Christopher Nolan and starring Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey Jr., Matt Damon, Emily Blunt, Florence Pugh, Alden Eherenreich, Casey Affleck, Tony Goldwin, and a whole host of blink and you’ll miss them celebrity walk-ons, the most since The Muppet Movie,  as compared to Wes Anderson’s Asteroid City, with his embarrassment of riches cast,  Scarlett Johansson, Jason Schwartzman, Tom Hanks, Adrian Brody, Edward Norton, Jeffrey Wright, Matt Dillon, Bryan Cranston, Tilda Swinton, Maya Hawke, Rupert Friend, Willem Dafoe, Steve Carrell, Hong Chau Liev Schreiber, Hope Davis, Steve Park,  and Margot Robbie. 

 

We are also joined by series regulars George Young, David Johnson, DMD, and Roseanne Caputi, who will begin the talk by each defining the word “Twee.” 


Before we march into the mêlée of the maestros, the synopsis: 

 

Oppenheimer tells the story of legendary nuclear physicist Robert Oppenheimer as he stares into the void a lot, develops the atom bomb and then slights a future contender for the U.S. Senate, who drudges up Oppenheimer’s Communist past in an epic IMAX movie of a series of meetings in sweaty conference rooms and senate chambers. 

 

Asteroid City is a movie about a play within a 1950’s TV show depicting the behind the scenes machinations of a Broadway theatrical production about a confluence of Stargazers and their families in a small Arizona town.
