When the Wind Blows

Sit back, relax, and brew a pot of tea for When the Wind Blows, a 1986 animated film directed by Jimmy Murakami based on the graphic novel by Raymond Briggs. In this episode of the Nuclear Movie Club, NukeTalk producer Rebecka Green and Ploughshares Roger L. Hale Fellow Scott Strgacich discuss When the Wind Blow's domestic eeriness, the big punch a small-scale story can make, how the film's animation is key to its impact, and why you should probably keep your home's doors where they are...for now. PS: If part of this episode's audio sounds a bit different to you, one of the microphones unknowingly cut out during recording and required some post-production magic by our editor, Ryan Kuhfeld.
