I watched that this year.
I found it pretty harrowing as a twenty-something adult who didn't grow up with all the cold war fear. Can't imagine what it was like at the time.

I was ten and counted off walking to call for my friends in 4-minute timeslots.
and that's why I never called for liza d between 1982 and 1985. she was 5 minutes away and i would have never got home in time.

I agree
The complete terror which accompanied it as well. My Dad was in the army at the time, and brought home books about what to do in a nuclear war, and how to build a shelter. Never mind Frankie Goes To Hollywoods Two Tribes, which made a joke of it, it was just fucking scary.
