The Atomic Cafe!


What IMDB sez: Disturbing collection of 1940s and 1950s United States government issued propaganda films designed to reassure Americans that the atomic bomb was not a threat to their safety.

What WE say: You kids today with your smart bombs and iPongs and such, you kids gots it easy, I tells ya! Easy! Y'see back in my pappy's day they had this shit, right there. Every second of the Atomic Cafe, my folks lived that shit, for reals, yo. By the time us Gen Xers rolled around the idea of a nuclear holocaust was just a given. "Only a matter of time, kids. Best to try and not think about it and just dream about, um, wars... in the stars... or something. Hope the bombs don't fall while you sleep, night love!" Fun times. Still, it's a wee bit more relaxing than some (re: all) of the other picks on this nuclear eve special! Enjoy your iPongs you little shits and feast on this bit of madness!
