Get to the underground bunkers, put on those military issue nylons and lipstick, and brace for impact as Jeff and Emma get into the tonal whiplash between Kubrick’s nightmare comedy Dr. Strangelove Or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb and its Cold War serious counterpart Red Alert by Peter George. How do we go from a countdown to the end in a quest for world peace to protecting our fluids from Russians and women? Why is Peter Sellers so many guys? Are you just as capable of being as sorry as I am, Dmitri? Content warnings for Red Alert include: violence, bombings, suicide, death, threat of doom, 60’s-standard outlooks on the world. Content warnings for Dr. Strangelove include: violence, bombings, suicide, death, threat of doom, so much horniness, one goofy Nazi, and a Tim Robinson lookalike.
