After Oppenheimer release in Japan at last, audiences give it a nice evaluate basically. However the greatest critic is: Bitters End didn't give them a Japanese DUB because of dozen of professional terms that let them hard to understand! Netizens in Twitter are making tones of Oppenheimer dub wishing list. Even only Oppie, there are basically have three choice right here... Do they consider Oppenheimer is a Byronic Hero?

PS: Kenjiro was dubbed Cillian's role once in Anna (2019 spy movie)

my husband made his very first youtube video and i would be SO GRATEFUL if you guys checked it out !!! He worked so hard on it. 

I always tell people that one of my favorite things about Oliver is the way he talks about movies. I’ve never met anyone more romantic about them than he is. No matter the film, he can always find something to like. It’s not just that he wants to give filmmakers the benefit of the doubt, but he can truly connect to the essence of a story’s intention and identify the most beautiful themes. (And I’m not gonna lie, it can be annoying when I just want to be a hater…)

He has an enviable memory when it comes to remembering the plots, cast lists, release years, and award history of pretty much every movie he’s ever seen. He’s so many people’s go-to guy when it comes to movie recommendations, and I can’t help but be so proud of him whenever I hear him discussing his thoughts with other people. The best part is that he will never make you feel bad about your own opinions; he loves hearing other perspectives, is open to having his mind changed, and genuinely just wants to talk about his favorite thing in the world: Movies.

When he told me he was thinking of starting a youtube movie review channel, it felt like a perfect fit. I almost can’t believe he hadn’t done it sooner!

I love this guy. I think he’s so fun to listen to. And he has such a sweet perspective that I think you’ll like him too. I hope you can all take a few mins to watch his first video, like, and subscribe — And if movie reviews just aren’t your thing, at least let it play in the background!
