We all understand the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, so long as nobody has any follow-up questions. But did you know that the son of the guy who came up with it has several songs on the Shrek franchise soundtracks? This is Mark Oliver Everett, frontman of the band Eels, and this week's film, Parallel Worlds Parallel Lives, sees him untangle his strange quantum inheritance.
Join Graham and Jeff, long-term Eels fans both, as they discuss this movie's surprisingly accessible treatment of quantum mechanics, its links to Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer, and struggle to get to grips with the double-slit experiment. We also talk about the heartwrenchingly autobiographical qualities of Eels's music, share stories from their gigs and talk about the often subversive places where their music appears in popular culture. It's not just Shrek!
