but Testament to me was a hell of a more hitting movie than even the Day After. Streaming ought to start flooding the zone with all kinds of these movies. Americans need a dose of reality with a prez that will drop a nuke anywhere, just because he feels like it. Maybe if they're reminded via their "entertainment choices" it would have an impact...?
