Unfortunately, Oppenheimer has more atomic energy than Kenergy. We analyse the role of women in Oppenheimer (or lack thereof). The head of the Atomic Heritage Foundation, Cindy Kelly, tells us about all the real women who worked on the Manhattan project but aren’t in the film.&nbsp;Why does a film about atomic bombs show Florence Pugh’s boobs but not Japan? Does Barbie deserve a Nobel Prize for her contribution to revitalising international interest in the history of quantum physics research? We discuss this in a logical chronological order that will make sense to people other than Christopher Nolan.&nbsp;&nbsp;<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Revisiting Mr Bridgerton

Feminist period drama podcast. Each episode, we break down how women are presented in a different historical film or TV show. A historian tells us how that period drama has changed our understanding of real women from that time period. Were corsets really as grim as TV tells us? Have the makers of Bridgerton ever opened a history book? Have the makers of Gladiator ever spoken to a girl? We shall discuss all this and more, while fangirling over Keira Knightley at any given opportunity. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
