About this listen

This week, we honor Peter Watkins by looking at one of his most famous works, The War Game (1966). The film was funded by the BBC but later shelved due to the film's depiction of nuclear fallout being too horrifying. Regardless, the film was still able to be shown and praised due to its simulation of nuclear fallout through Cinéma vérité style.

**As a sidenote, we're working on a side project for the podcast, which we'll be happy to share in the future! For this reason, we're going to switch back to one episode a week! We'll be back soon to our normal schedule!
