Poor George. He's never seen any movies. Rather than mourn their dear friend, Travis and Dan have taken it upon themselves to show him what he is missing. But they don't stop at showing him famous movies! They also help George to understand how each film fits into the Great Narrative of Film. Not only THAT the film of the week is significant, but WHY and HOW. Also, they make jokes and stuff.

George has an affinity for Stanley Kubrick, but he's never seen Dr. Strangelove. Travis talks about Dr. Strangelove all the time because of his experience in the theater. It was only a matter of time until we brought George to the promised land (via 30 megaton hydrogen bomb, naturally.) This is in many ways a "Part 2" of last week's Fail Safe (1964) episode, so we highly recommend you start with that one. But if your evil gloved hand clicks this one first, so be it!
Will George be able to handle the goofiness and slapstick qualities of this satire? Did Travis just advocate violating the Dewey Decimal System? Did Dan just call Travis a Kant? This is a wild one folks.
