See you in San Diego.
Okay, here's what we're actually getting to, programming reminders, couple updates. This podcast is coming to you a day later than usual. Thank you for your patience. I have been, to quote Logan Roy, incredibly unwell. I still am, not contagious, but I'm gonna do my absolute best today. Had to push one day, very sorry. The ripple effect of that is that we are not doing the Oppenheimer pod today as we were supposed to. When will we do that? Guess what, not before the Odyssey now.
We are just leaning in to the non-linear storytelling.

**Joanna Robinson** (3:27)
This is how Christopher Nolan would want it.

**Mallory Rubin** (3:29)
As fully as we possibly can.
We love a bit. We love a bit here.

**Joanna Robinson** (3:33)
But I do think it will be really interesting to talk about Oppenheimer in the wake of Odyssey. And I had talked about this as soon as we got out of our first screening of it, we were just sort of like, wow, Oppenheimer on the mind.

**Mallory Rubin** (3:43)
Both from the storytelling perspective. And then I think actually to come back with the period of time where more people have gotten to see Odyssey, and we can also just talk about the Uthera and like, where, because hey, I don't know if y'all have heard, Oppenheimer won Best Picture, won all the Oscars. So like, you know, now that we've seen another masterwork.

**Joanna Robinson** (4:03)
Where does it rank?

**Mallory Rubin** (4:04)
Where does it all rank?

**Joanna Robinson** (4:05)
Where does it rank? We love a list.

**Mallory Rubin** (4:07)
Is this all just a long time to have more time to figure out our personal power rankings?
