David Samson

The purpose of this review would be to have a conversation.

I can review a movie no one's seen on Nothing Personal on Netflix, directed by Academy Award winner Catherine Bigelow.

about what a government does when there is the day after tomorrow, which is, that's an old reference, but for the younger people in the audience, that was a show about a nuclear war with Jason Robards, where people thought there was an actual nuclear war.

This movie, House of Dynamite, is about what goes on when there is a threat, the possibility.

that there could be a first strike done by our enemies and what we would do, how we would react, what are the chains of command.

House of Dynamite does it from every angle, from different parts of government, and then it builds to an end where the end is you... Wait, I can't say the end.

And boom goes the dynamite.

No spoilers.

So no spoilers, Mike, thank you.

So if you watch to the end, people are very concerned with the end of this movie and they're losing what the movie was about.

And the movie was about an examination of what perilous ground we stand on as it relates to nuclear proliferation and what could happen any day with leaders who are irrational or leaders who don't understand what it means to be in a world order.

And so this movie took a chance and it's being criticized because of an end and nobody's discussing the entire first hour 40.

And that's what I would prefer people to focus on.

And that's a very telling thing that's happening where we are forgetting the forest and we are so focused on an individual tree and it's sapling that it's making me insane, actually.

David Sampson somehow, and I don't really understand how he's doing this, and I'm about to ask him why he's doing it, continues to trudge through and do nothing personal every day because he has a special relationship with his audience.

He appreciates his audience.

I assume that's a big part of the answer.

But what he's going through at home is...

is true horror, and I won't delve into too many of the details here.

You can catch up on nothing personal if you want to know.
