*Tumbleweed for seven months*
"Is anyone still there?"
Well, if you are, here's a new episode of the award-winning (technically, we haven't won any awards... yet) 15.
True to their grasp of timing, Luke Oddie and Dan Wade are finally reviewing the biggest two films of the summer!
They kick it off with Luke's front runner for the 'Film of the Year', Oppenheimer. Christopher Nolan's epic centres around an inspired Cillian Murphy performance as the inventor of the atomic bomb, J. Robert Oppenheimer. Based on the 2005 biography, American Prometheus, the film chronicles Oppenheimer's studies, his direction of the Manhattan Project during World War II, and his eventual fall from grace due to his 1954 security hearing. The film also stars Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr. and Florence Pugh.
Then, Luke and Dan bicker about the delightfully existential Barbie. Featuring a career-defining performance from Ryan Gosling, Greta Gerwig's fantasy comedy, which she wrote with her husband, Noah Baumbach, follows Margot Robbie as Barbie on a journey of self-discovery. It features an ensemble supporting cast, including America Ferrera, Kate McKinnon, Helen Mirren, Michael Cera and Will Ferrell.
So, after a well-needed (and earned) sabbatical, the boys are back doing what we do best... talking over each other whilst reviewing mediocre films!
