Trump called for a civil war today while speaking directly to all of the generals and admirals. Most media reporting is just glossing over it, so pass it on here.

The Days Ahead (2025) The Days Ahead is a British, anthology, film. It is currently available for rent or purchase on Amazon. It is prepper fantasy time. Each story shows a different level of preparedness, none show anyone living for long enough to really know how much devistation there is…

Chariot (2013) This movie is basically a conspiracy theory. It is similar in tone and theme to classics like House of Stairs or Cube. It is different from most trapped in a metal tube nuke movies (normally the metal tube is a bunker in these kinds of movies but it is sometimes a plane like this).

World War Four 2019 Currently on Tubi #filmsky #moviesky This low budget movie from New Zealand combines stock footage and new content to make a mess. No attempt is made to match the appearance of the new footage with the stock footage even when it’s supposedly in the same scene…

Colossus: The Forbin Project 1970 This does involve nuclear weapons and is technically about a nuclear war, but it’s not the usual fare. An excellent film Colossus is about both AI and nukes! So you can get 2 existential crises for the price of 1! It’s about a computer system put in charge of…

The Atomic Cafe 1982 And now for something completely different… the Atomic Cafe is a very fun mashup of archival footage, songs, educational shorts, etc. all about nuclear war from a US perspective. It is both hilarious and horrifying. I strongly recommend this one and it’s currently free on Tubi.

Night into Day 2020 This is an explicitly Christian movie about nuclear war. IME most Christian nuke movies are about “the end times” (tm), this is refreshing in that it’s not. Like most religious movies it is extremely low budget, and wow can you feel how small that budget was.

Barefoot Gen (1983 subbed) Barefoot Gen is an anime film based on the experiences of Keiji Nakazawa after real life survivor of the Hiroshima bombing. It is the first not speculative movie I’m reviewing here. It is an excellent film and a decent introduction to nuclear war.

When the Wind Blows (1986) This British film is basically a study of what would’ve happened to an average Greatest Generation couple (James and Hilda) in a nuclear war in England. How they likely would’ve prepared, how they would’ve fared in the attack, and how they would’ve lived afterwards…

The Show Must Go On (2010) I highly recommend this film, which was made in Croatia and is currently available free on Tubi. The Show Must Go On centers around a fictional reality TV show called Housed. A real-life event inspired the movie…
