Why Dr Strangelove's take on mutually assured destruction is still so terrifying

55 min • 5 november 2024
In this week’s BYOB, Jack and Ben dive back into Stanley Kubrick’s darkly satirical masterpiece Dr. Strangelove, examining why this 1964 classic still hits close to home in 2024. Join us as we explore Peter Sellers’ multi-role magic, the grim humour of nuclear tensions, and how Kubrick’s take on the Cold War resonates amid today’s equally absurd political landscape. We’ll discuss Sellers and Kubrick’s unpredictable collaboration, the genius behind the War Room’s iconic set, as we ponder if there could there ever be a more fitting film about mutual destruction?
