from I Didn’t Need To See That · host Peter Radwanski

Ah, so you’ve decided to come back for more eh? Well welcome back for Episode 2 of “I Didn’t Need to See That!” On this episode we're hopping across the pond to jump into the bleak pool of despair and agony that is 1984’s docu-drama film “Threads”. Join in as Pete and Aaron discuss how long they think they’d last (or how long they’d like to last) in a Nuclear Holocaust, the similarities of post 9/11 world anxiety to 80’s nuclear attack anxiety, does this director hate cats, and how even in the world of a nuclear holocaust, the greatest harm to human life is still… (drumroll please)… Capitalism! Content Warning: War violence, sexual assault, animal deaths.
