Show Notes
Hard to believe that a Cold War satire about Mutually Assured Destruction through a nuclear holocaust could still pack a punch 60 years after its release. But that’s exactly what happened with Stanley Kubrick’s brilliant dark comedy, Dr. Strangelove, Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. Starring Peter Sellers in a virtuoso 3-role performance as the titular insane scientist, a by-the-book RAF officer, and a milquetoast President, this one is arguably Kubrick’s best effort. Which sounds like a challenge for debate that we shall now have… NO FIGHTING IN THE WAR ROOM!
