For this Sunday Slop Night, first up is Oppenheimer (2023), the latest cinematic megahit from Christopher Nolan, in theatres now – or, should I say, on Hextube. The camrip I have is acceptable quality, so we’re watching it. The one caveat is that there is a watermark that migrates around the frame for the whole movie. Whatever, it adds to the slop aesthetic. After that is French Claymation comedy-drama My Life as a Zucchini (2016), about a foster child who finds a new home following the death of his mother. He meets other children, and laughs and tears ensue. Cool visual style for this one, and rave reviews everywhere, so we’re watching it.

We’ll start at 9PM EST on Hextube, right here: https://live.hexbear.net/c/movies

Be there, comrades!
