As part of Theater Thursdays: Double Feature, we continue our May screenings with a film that uses satire to confront power, paranoia, and the absurd logic of war. Rather than offering straightforward drama, this story exposes the fragility of political systems through humor that is as unsettling as it is incisive.
Dr. Strangelove follows a chain reaction of decisions that escalate toward nuclear disaster, revealing how ideology, ego, and miscommunication can override reason. With sharp wit and unsettling humor, the film dissects the machinery of war, asking how rational systems can produce irrational outcomes.
Join us for a discussion following this darkly comedic and enduringly relevant cinematic experience. Admission is free, and no sign ups are required.
