AS IT TURNS OUT, THE RUSSIANS DID IN FACT LOVE THEIR CHILDREN, TOO: The Onion's AV Club has a brilliant list this week--Eight Musical Artifacts That Capture What Nuclear Paranoia Felt Like At The End Of The Cold War.
Did they miss any? And what of the movies of the era that capture that same paranoia...Red Dawn...Rocky IV...The Day After...Hunt for Red October...Rambo...Red Heat...Spies Like Us...Top Gun...War Games? It's enough to make you miss the gold old days of the Communist Menace when every time a light bulb burnt out or the radio went silent because the DJ was taking a piss I thought it was electromagnetic pulse that precedes a nuclear detonation.
