Full disclosure: there is a lot more talk about movies on this episode than there is about sports. But that doesn't mean we don't have a whole lot of important sports content for you as well. This week we discuss:
2:45 - Carlos Alcaraz is the 2023 Wimbledon champion, and we assess whether he is now the best tennis player in the world. Is it time to reflect on Novak Djokovic in the past tense, or does he still have some fight left?
10:00 - THE BIG STORY: Horrific allegations have emerged about a culture of aggressive hazing and sexual harassment at Northwestern University's football program. What is it going to take for institutions to start taking these issues seriously, and is there anything to learn from these stories?
28:10 - We participated in the cultural event of the summer: the Barbenheimer double feature. We start with Barbie, talking about the successes of the film, why it worked so well; and we also mention a few of the challenges that hold this film back from being an all-time classic.
44:40 - Finally, we make the hard pivot to Oppenheimer, one of the most significant films we've ever seen and also one of the best. What makes the story of J. Robert Oppenheimer so important right now, and how did Christopher Nolan bring his unique abilities to this film?
