Dr. Strangelove

Today we’re travelling back to 1964 to explore the cold war and Stanley Kubrick’s Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. Starring George C Scott, Peter Sellers, Sterling Hayden, and Slim Pickens; Dr. Strangelove satirically spins the cold war by telling the story of a General gone rogue who sends a nuclear strike to Russia, the bomber crew who is carrying the payload, and the American war room which is rushing to stop the attack before the world is destroyed. Made for a budget of $1.8 million, Dr. Strangelove brought in $9.4 million at the box office, is Kubrick’s highest-rated film on Rotten Tomatoes, and now is heralded as a classic. But does it hold up? Listen in as Jon, Colin, and Brent debate impending doom, precious fluids, communist indoctrination, and mutually assured destruction as we try to see if Dr. Strangelove deserves the strange love or: how we learned to stop worrying and never watch this movie again.
