About this episode
The episode discusses three films that explore the theme of nuclear annihilation.
We figured now was probably the perfect time to do an episode about nuclear annihilation! We're talking about three very different movies involving The Bomb, all of which seem to agree that it would be pretty bad if one went off. WAR GAMES (1983, John Badham) MIRACLE MILE (1988, Steve De Jarnatt) THE SUM OF ALL FEARS (2002, Phil Alden Robinson)
