Threads (1984)

Jesus Christ! They've done it... They've done it! After previously covering one of the most joyful movies of all time, this week we are tackling what could very well be the bleakest. Threads is a British docudrama that goes into brutal detail on the effects of nuclear war on the general population. But is this movie scientifically accurate? How would future generations learn to survive and rebuild society? Would Threads have been better if it starred Steve Guttenberg? Which members of the Film Junk crew would actually survive the apocalypse? Take shelter and soil yourself in fear while listening to this week's episode of Film Junk.
