About this episode
The episode explores the themes of dark morality and difficult choices in the context of the film 'On The Beach' (1959).
Welcome to It's A Wonderful Podcast! Dark morality, difficult choices, and maybe a little bit of sci-fi camp throughout July on the main show as Morgan and Jeannine theme themselves around the end of the world with a varied series of DOOMSDAY MOVIES! The unflinching stoicism of Gregory Peck starts us off alongside Ava Gardner, Fred Astaire, Anthony Perkins & Donna Anderson in a quietly powerful, patient, and deeply thoughtful exploration of impending death and the choices made in our final days as they talk all the human complexity of Stanley Kramer's ON THE BEACH (1959)!
