Our summer of pain continues as we discuss the faux news broadcast that is Special Bulletin.

Folks who have caught Evan’s guest spots on Cinepunx know his affinity and affection for Nuke movies, and Special Bulletin is no exception. While it does lack some of the spectacle and brutality of similar films, it is still surprisingly effective and depressingly relevant. We spend time discussing the dangers we still face from the insane weapons as well as things that maybe bring us more joy than despair, but don’t worry, there is still plenty of bummer to go around.
