Episode 0051 - Oppie Feel Free to Deviate

    • Arts

Am I the guest? Is Oppie the guest? Is Pi the guest? Are all of us simultaneously both the guest and the host? These questions may never be answered, but in this episode I chat with Pi Ai about Christopher Nolan's 2023 summer blockbuster film, Oppenheimer. In case you are unaware, Oppenheimer is a film about the scientist who lead the team that developed the atomic bombs used at the end of World War II. It's a biopic, cautionary tale, and fine piece of filmmaking all wrapped up in one. To be clear, this is not a review, and I don't move through the film step by step. Maybe I should have, but I felt like that would be a waste of time. Am I wrong about that? Let me know your thoughts and feelings on the matter if you get a chance. I’m telling you this because the episode probably won’t make sense if you haven't watched the film. So, if you haven't already, watch the film, and then listen to this. If you boldly listen without watching the film, I must note that there are spoilers, though I seriously doubt anything said in the episode will ruin your enjoyment of the film. In fact, it may enrich it, much like the plutonium and uranium used in the bombs.
Topics include:
Toxic masculinityThe cost of being exceptionally brilliantWhat motivates you?Revenge is probably a waste of time.The government has its own agenda, and it's not likely that the advancement of science for the sake of science is high on its list.Stuff like that!Feel Free to Deviate is the podcast about people, their careers, and their relationships with success. My name is Jim Turbert, and I am the host. You can find me at https://feelfreetodeviate.com or on Instagram, Facebook, Tiktok, and Youtube @feelfreetodeviate
