Dr. Strangelove (1964) | Ep. 73 - Part 1
How did Stanley Kubrick turn nuclear annihilation into a comedy? John, Matt, and Westy begin the story of the Cold War satire that somehow made mutually assured destruction hilarious.
In Part 1 we cover the film's opening, director Stanley Kubrick, the cast, and the second act — including Peter Sellers playing three roles (he was meant to do four, but pulled a sickie) and George C. Scott being tricked into maybe the performance of his career.
Part 2, covering the crew, the finale, reception, and the film's legacy, is available now.
