Gary celebrated his birthday in August by programming the entire month of films for the podcast, so it only stands to reason that Justin would get to do the same for his birth month of November. All month long, we'll be showcasing films that he's personally chosen, all films he's wanted to talk about on the show for a long time, but has never had the chance...until now!

For week one, we're starting with a film by Justin's favorite director — and one we've covered on the show in the past — the great Stanley Kubrick. We're joined by special guest Chris Phillips this week to discuss Kubrick's Cold War black comedy DR. STRANGELOVE OR: HOW I LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND LOVE THE BOMB.

The story behind this film is a fascinating one and we'll talk about how the film went from its original concept as a straight forward thriller about impending nuclear annihilation to its final form as a hilarious and prescient comedy classic.
