Super Critical Podcast - Overthinking Nuclear Pop Culture

In this first episode of our podcast, we go undercover with the 1994 action spy comedy (masterpiece?) True Lies. What does this movie tell us about nuclear terrorism? Can a nuclear warhead really be confused for a snow cone maker? Why wasn't Tom Arnold at least considered to play the new James Bond? We explore these questions and more. Books recommend in this episode: On Nuclear Terrorism by Michael Levi (Harvard Press, 2007), Atomic Obsession by John Mueller (Oxford Press, 2012), and Nuclear Terrorism: The Ultimate Preventable Catastrophe by Graham T. Allison (Holt, 2005). We aim to have a new episode every month.
