Episode 121 - The Day After (1983)

<p>A dark and sober look at the consequences of a nuclear war between the US and USSR, full of panic and confusion, and surprisingly light on sensationalism, released at the height of the Cold War. Still one of the highest-rated tv programs of all time, and possibly influential enough to get Reagan to come to the table for armament talks.<br /> <br /> Starring Jason Robards, JoBeth Williams, John Cullum, Steve Guttenberg, John Lithgow, Amy Madigan, and William Allen Young. Directed by Nicholas Meyer and written by Edward Hume.</p> <p>This episode also contains a clip of Carl Sagan from the debate show that aired after the film: <a href= "https://youtube.com/shorts/V7R4nqyMMSg?si=QnfecMptNzk3thXv">https://youtube.com/shorts/V7R4nqyMMSg?si=QnfecMptNzk3thXv</a></p> <p> </p>
