Super Critical Podcast - Overthinking Nuclear Pop Culture

Note: we originally planned this episode to be release mid-December 2021 but a combo of sick kid + forgetting the SD card before traveling for holidays messed up that plan. Enjoy! In this episode, we found a bootleg DVD in our stocking of the 1964 TV movie A Carol for Another Christmas, which retold the classic Christmas Carol story but with nuclear war. What was the public diplomacy mission of this pro-UN film? How does isolationism and international engagement theories suggest doing with the problem of nuclear weapons? Does the Ghost of Christmas Future know when the last two books in A Song of Ice and Fire come out? Tim Westmyer (@NuclearPodcast) and podcast co-host Gabe answer these questions and more.
