Saturday Night Doomsday Double Feature – An Examination of “The Day After” (1983) and “By Dawn’s Early Light” (1990)

I ran across this look at two great Cold War movies on Youtube and wanted to share. I watched both of these movies when they debuted and in the case of “By Dawn’s Early Light” multiple times.

I’ve long been fascinated by nuclear war fiction, likely as a response to growing up in the 60s through 80s and then serving in Germany during the waning days of the Cold War. I don’t know if enjoy is the proper word for appreciating this genre, but I hope you get something out of this examination of these nuclear fiction dramas.
