Emma is joined this week by Dr. Vincent Casaregola of Saint Louis University to cover a film that is considered one of the best of all time: Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964)! An iconic Kubrick film, Dr. Strangelove takes a dark, comedic look at nuclear tensions and end-of-the-world antics. Dr. Casaregola helps frame what the mindset was of the American people during the Cold War, the (very real) problems of nuclear mishaps, how Stanley Kubrick became one of the most innovative directors in the motion picture industry, what the best tips are for learning to appreciate classic movies. Be sure to tune into this explosive episode!
