About this episode:
In this special 3-part series titled Cinema of Nuclear Dread, which we are hosting in honor of the upcoming release of Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, we explore cinema’s relation to the atomic bomb, and all the implications it represents. Beginning today with the politics of the atomic bomb and the complicated philosophy of nuclear deterrence, in Stanley Kubrick’s classic satire Dr Strangelove or: How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb.

As a part of your analysis, you should add the following movies: Threads, Testiment, Fail Safe, 7 Days in May, and On The Beach
Agreed. And Fail Safe was released the same year as Dr. Strangelove and had multiple strangely similar storylines and plot development sans humor.
Firstly I really want to thank the two fantastic hosts of this Podcast, who keep bringing excellently-made Podcasts to Cinema-loving-viewers like me.
I have been enjoying the contents in this channel very much and having my time during work hours accompanied and not so much suffering.
Oppenheimer has been a hot topic, and I really want to know more about this movie and the meaning behind it(good to see that you are making it a series, which is more than exciting to me) at this specific time for us to review and refeel the Cinemas and psychological atmospheres of the people during the the cold war era . We face more and more domestic and global crises than we ever did in 10 years, 20 years ago with the rising of AI, climate change, and dangerous charismatic leaders in giant tech companies...etc. I do really agree we are under very similar depressing atmosphere as people in the cold war era.
I believe the disability to see a promising good future is possibly the cause.
At this current time as we are trying hard to catch a glimpse of the near future, I wonder if we can see hope or there is only nihilism in the end(,again). I am excited about the series and looking forward to the new videos. Thank you for the excellent works.😍
Hey guys, I don’t know if you’re aware but the audio levels on your Spotify are quite low. You both have fairly calm and hushed voices, which may be a factor, but after playing Cinema of Meaning after other podcasts I listen to, I’ve noticed consistently that the levels are significantly lower on your podcast. Even at full volume I have to strain to hear what is being said. Hope you get this as I enjoy your content! Thanks!
Noted, thanks!
Dear friends: if u don’t subscribe to this channel, you’re missing out. Tom is a brilliant man and always thought provoking 🎉
And he's hot
I beg of you guys to look at Threads and The Day After.
I watched this in secondary school when I was 15/16 and to this day, over 10 years later, I think Threads is the most terrifying film ever made
Threads (1984) is a great movie about nuclear dread.
Black Rain and Hiroshima are great movies that deserve this review.
Geee, guys...in all honesty, this is boring. Really.
Look: the pure podcast format doesn't seem to work for you. You are just too low key, softspoken for that.
As you said, you are not experts...so the content itself is plain and generic too.
If you want to do a podcast you have a) to be entertaining, or b) to have something novel and interesting to say.
Sorry, guys. You are nice and smart...but Cold War is a fascinating topic for me and I was so looking forward to this episode...only to find it boring and generic.
Please do not take it as an offense...as some say:"having a friend that tells you the blunt truth is a seriously underrated asset"
Take care
I agree. I couldn’t get through the first 20 minutes and I love history and the Cold War and movies as a whole.
