I'm curious if this is conjuring any Cold War movies for you guys.

Do you have a favorite Cold War movie that's sort of nuclear oriented?

The China Syndrome always comes to mind as a favorite of mine.

That coffee cup.

The little, the trimmers in the coffee, in the...

Right?

That's where you first see it?

It's about that theoretical China syndrome and nuclear meltdown could go through the core of the Earth to the antipodal point on the other side of the planet.

I always loved that one.

And then...

like war games was always a big one for me growing up.

Lizzie, I'm not sure if there are any that come to mind for you.

Definitely.

I mean, you know, immediately as soon as you were starting to explain the sort of like race to blow up more and more and bigger and bigger nukes, it immediately makes me think of the doomsday machine and Dr. Strangelove, uh, of course.

And it,

And just, you know, the whole concept there being that you needed to explain the existence of the doomsday machine in order for it to be effective.

But they didn't do that.

They just built it.

And I love the sort of, you know, you're 10 steps ahead and yet also 15 steps behind on that one.

That feels applicable.
