Following up on Wargames, Ian and Matthew talk about a 1970 movie in which a scientist creates a supercomputer to protect mankind from nuclear war -- and succeeds!

Sounds happy, doesn&#39;t it?

It&#39;s not.

073: THE MANHATTAN PROJECT

Matthew Porter and his son Ian Porter explore movies, TV, books and music from Matthew's youth, way back in the 20th Century. What stands the test of time? What doesn’t? And what's still worth binging in the new millennium? Son learns what made Dad ... whatever he is today. And Dad learns what Son thinks of all this. (Music by Jason Aro / Pond5)
