Surely You Can't Be Serious Podcast

In the early 1980s, Hollywood began creating movies that involved the increasingly important technologies of computers and video games. Two of the most dynamic movies of that time that involved that subject were "Tron" (1982) and "War Games" (1983). Join us this episode as we discuss the genesis of each project, the impact that they had and the incredible cast of each movie. This week we will also be discussing the real life Cold War incidents, Nuclear near misses and crazy true stories of missile defense mishaps with Dr. Chad Briggs. You won't want to miss it! Shall we play a game?

This is a coming of age movie involving a road trip on a quest to find something special. The movie also tackles the difficult subject of mental health in a very special way.
