In this episode, we prepared for Judgment Day by watching all of the Terminator movies (1984-2015/forever). How did the franchise end up with some of the most iconic imagery of nuclear weapon use? Should we be worried about artificial intelligence taking over our nuclear command and control systems? Why does Skynet seem to put out more models of terminator than Apple does iPhones? Tim, Joel, and special guest Alex answer these questions and more. Before we say “hasta la vista… baby,” we recommend reading: -Ben Shapiro, Atomic Bomb Cinema, 2001 -Bruce Blair, Strategic Command and Control, 1985 and The Logic of Accidental Nuclear War, 1993 -Joe McGovern, “‘The Terminator’ at 30: An Oral History,” Entertainment Weekly, July 17, 2014 Check out these resources and more on our website, SuperCriticalPodcast.com.

On April 8, 2010, the new Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) was signed in Prague.  Very shortly after that, Alicia Dressman appeared on the show to explain some of the issues related to START and how this is related to the U.S. Nuclear weapons Complex and Kansas City's prominent role in the complex.   In June 2013, President Obama made a speech in Berlin including some remarks about nuclear weaons. Independent researcher Alicia Dressman returned for the July 2, 2013 edition of the show to talk about nuclear disarmament and Life Extension Programs (LEP's).  After that, news about the Kansas City nuclear weapons parts plant, talk of misdeeds by and related to Bank of America, the great PR BoA gets on public television, and finally an excerpt of Glenn Greenwald's remarks about press coverage of Edward Snowden's NSA whistleblowing.
