We’re straying far off our Cold War timeline in order to discuss Threads, a 1984 British “docudrama” about nuclear war. I have to say that this one way over exceeded my expectations. This is easily one of the most memorable films I’ve ever seen. It’s been on my mind since my first viewing a couple weeks ago and I just have to talk about it so here we are.
Normally when we discuss these kinds of things on this podcast we discuss the geopolitical Cold War situation that spawned the movie. We’re not going to do that for this one as we’ll definitely talk about this period when we get there at some point in the future. For now, I just want to talk about a great nuclear film at face value. Enjoy.
