Threads (1984)
<p>Sit back, relax, and don't watch this movie after you've eaten—today on the Nuclear Movie Club, we're talking about Mick Jackson's 1984 television movie, Threads.</p> <p>On this episode, Scott and I discuss if Threads is the most "comprehensive" nuclear film, the movie's jarring and unflinching portrayal of a post-nuclear landscape, and the news that a British production studio plans to develop Threads into a television show. Plus, Scott gives a brief download on the US and Israel's war with Iran and the thought leadership some of Ploughshares' grantees & partners are producing in response (this was recorded on March 11—and much has transpired since). </p> <p>In the episode, we mention a stellar retrospective write up on Threads published by our friends at the Outrider Foundation. Read it here: <a title= "Revisiting ‘Threads’ – Director and Star Reflect on the 1984 Nuclear Apocalypse TV Movie and Its Enduring Impact" href= "https://outrider.org/nuclear-weapons/articles/revisiting-threads-director-and-star-reflect-1984-nuclear-apocalypse-tv"> Revisiting ‘Threads’ – Director and Star Reflect on the 1984 Nuclear Apocalypse TV Movie and Its Enduring Impact</a></p> <p>Follow <strong>NukeTalk</strong> on <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/nuke_talk/">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://x.com/nuke_talk">X</a> @nuke_talk and Ploughshares on <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/plough_shares/">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://x.com/plough_shares">X</a> @plough_shares to be the first in the know about the movie of the week.
