The tromaville movies back in the day were really fun and really worth the watch no matter how bad the movie was.

They made great midnight movies! And boy oh boy is there a bunch of TA content out there.

I prefer “The Evil Dead” for Drive-In movies.🍿

My own family thought I was being dramatic when I told them how disruptive a pandemic would be. They simply refused to believe that the "big one" was coming, and laughed at me when I told them that hundreds of thousands of people, perhaps even in the low millions, would die in the United States alone. This was back in February 2020.

One thing that I have learned throughout my career is that we are never truly prepared for a disaster to strike. We learn some lessons from a previous disaster, but usually improvise to each unique situation. It is a failure of imagination, even among the highest levels of government, that prevents us from truly grasping the magnitude of a disaster until it is too late.

There is also no way to factor in how populations and officials will respond to situations.

Want certainty in disasters build an authoritarian gov and nepotistic bureaucracy. Want greater chances of success and recovery encourage innovation freedom of choice.
Mistakes will be made people will die. Recovery will come quicker though.

One of the best nuclear war movies I have ever seen. Don't let the terrible title put you off.

Would have been more effective at alarming people of the day than the movie The Day After.

I always thought, at the time, that The Planet of the Apes was alarming. Back when you had no clue until the end (not spoon feeding of the sequels)

It’s was a brain dead action syfy, till it wasn’t.

The original on the beach was the scariest.

William Fortchens book was gut wrenching for me because of the lead characters diabetic daughter.
My wife was a Juvenal diabetic, after reading that book I was making plans on how I was going to break into the local pharmacies and “steal” all the inulin I could if the lights went out.

Did you ever read " Alas Babylon?" That was the first nuclear war book I ever read. It specifically mentions all the diabetics dying at about the same time when the power goes out and the remaining stock of insulin can't be kept refrigerated.

Yes is was required reading in my high school. We spent a semester dissecting the constitution, second semester was spent reading books news articles and then discussing application or the constitution to the current events.
