Podcast- Dr. Strangelove

Dr Strangelove is still thought to be 50 years on as a true classic and probably the most finest black comedies ever made. Nominated for four Academy Awards including Best Picture (1964), Stanley Kubrick’s comedy about a group of paranoia-inspired, war-happy generals who have the ability to initiate an “accidental” nuclear apocalypse, is horribly frightening, delightfully funny and surprisingly relevant to this present day.

This is the saga of two psychotic generals: Joint Chief of Personnel “Buck” Turgidson (George C. Scott) and Air Force Strategic Commander Jack Ripper (Sterling Hayden), who orders a bomber squadron to attack the us, triggering a Soviet secret weapon, the “Doomsday Machine”, a diabolical retaliatory missile system. Peter Sellers portrays a trio of men who attempt to avert this catastrophe: British Captain Lionel Mandrake, the only person with get entry to to paranoid Gen. Ripper; U.S. President Muffley, whose best attempt at diverting this disaster is determined by convincing a boozed-up Soviet Premier it is all a farce.
