That's brilliant! I love that Threads was made for next to nothing, but it's still, arguably, the most unsettlingly brilliant film I've ever seen. I just hope Threads never, ever gets a Hollywood big budget remake!
BRAN FLAKES?? Just spoke to the lovely and very funny Rita May about her role in Threads. Says her burn make-up was Bran Flakes and other cereals, and that her face was mostly edible!
@Atomic_Hobo thank you for this weeks book extract- it sounds like it’s going to be brilliant
I'm so happy to get into sportswear later today, as I'm off for cardio physio rehab! The stress testing will be really helpful for letting me know my exercise limits. ❤️ I'm really hoping that I can maintain my physical fitness somehow.
@FightingOnFilm @JulieAMcDowall @Atomic_Hobo Only American nuclear war film that’s worth watching is testament all you see is a flash of light and the torture of post apocalyptic war 🙁
@Atomic_Hobo Well deserved , wonderfully quirky and unique podcast
Doctor was lovely, tests went smoothly, now it's time to try and wait calmly!
I'm off to the North West Heart Centre today! ❤️💔♥️
An article from 1980 about the secret tunnels under London! duncancampbell.org/menu/journalis… thanks to @Atomic_Hobo for mentioning it on her podcast.
@Atomic_Hobo @JulieAMcDowall GREAT job on 13 Days. Totally agree about Costner’s accent. Bruce Greenwood, a fellow🇨🇦. Liz
@scottygb I recently found the 'Atomic Hobo' podcast, about all sorts of things to do with nuclear war/weapons, civil defence, fallout, all that good stuff. (@Atomic_Hobo)
@Atomic_Hobo Well deserved🇨🇦🇨🇦everything is so crazy in the world, I listen to relax
@Cat_Headley I love @Atomic_Hobo with her weekly take on the social history of the threat of nuclear war. Sounds ominous but very addicitive - a Glaswegian’s take on how public bodies planned for armageddon.
@theironingfairy @photobymarkabol @HXCourier Interesting you should say that. Halifax now apparently has had the parish church promoted to Halifax Minster. My scant & distant memories of Norland Moor revolve around bilberries, Wakes Week & a children's holiday home. PS Am liking the @Atomic_Hobo podcast heard yesterday! 👍
@mattforde Can’t recommend the @Atomic_Hobo podcast enough
Starting today with the existentialist nuclear horror of the @Atomic_Hobo podcast, followed up with a soothing episode of @folkonfoot podcast feat @KrisDrever 👌
I found a new podcast called @Atomic_Hobo and have fallen completley in love with it! It's brimming with character, facts and humor and now i don't feel weird about watching #THREADS recreationally because it turns out im just a #NuclearNerd. Give it a listen! #AtomicHobo
@Atomic_Hobo Found my glasses and coincidently found the podcast, ha. Thanks
@pinstripedline @wellbright @Atomic_Hobo Agreed. Really enjoyed the podcasts from @Atomic_Hobo Highly recommend.
