Welcome to part two of our discussion of Stanley Kubrick’s absurdist war comedy Dr. Strangelove. Here we discuss what we loved and didn’t love about the movie, what possible alternate settings or eras a remake could find itself in, the type and amount of absurdity in the original, especially the role of Dr. Strangelove, and Andy reveals that he’s more of a ‘ha-ha funny’ type of guy, and that’s okay.
