What films, TV and songs are you going to choose to enjoy as the clouds from Trump's thermonuclear apocalypse engulfs us?

Night before last I kicked this off by watching 'Seven Days In May' , has stood the test of time well, though for some reason this time, I wasn't rooting for President Fredric March, but rather had some sympathy for Burt Lancaster's air force general Chief of staff.   :hmm:

Thinking of ending the run with 'On the beach', though that does rather optimistically assume I'll survival a while, given I live 70 miles down wind from Cap de la Hague.

I'll probably run 'Dr.Strangelove' when Bannon has near complete influence over Trump and puts an anti-fluoridation 'scientist' in charge of the EPA/FDA etc.

So what are you're suggestions?

Mongers will be happy they aren't in a car.

Yeah, that had to go in the mix, but couldn't figure where.   :hmm:


Music wise, '21st Century Schizoid Man' fit will, somehow the madness in 1969 America, kinda fits with the lunacy at work in the White House today.
