Introducing a new game we call Movie Roulette. The game works like so - it's centered around a year, in this case 1994. We spin a roulette wheel which instead of number has five categories - Drama, Thriller/Horror, Comedy, Blockbuster and Wildcard. Whichever category we land on is the one from which we have to select a movie. We will go until each of us has selected from every category. After listening, we invite you to vote on who you think made the five best selections. The voting will be held on X (Twitter).

In today's episode, we discuss Christopher Nolan's critical and box office hit Oppenheimer!

The directors are: Greta Gerwig, Taika Waititi, Damien Chazelle, Rian Johnson, Alejandro Inarritu, Bong Joon Jo, Ryan Coogler, and Asghar Farhadi.
