CONNECTING THE DOTS

If contemporary politics leaves you brooding over the wisdom that "Dr. Strangelove" brought to the silver screen, then rest assured you are not alone. Who knew it flirted with documentary? In this episode, we get a guided tour inside the likely thoughts of Terry Southern, who wrote that "no fighting in the war room!" film along with the landmarks Easy Rider and Barbarella and... well, he was prolific, profane and paved the way for many who came later. Terry Southern was also a pioneer of what would be called New Journalism and even Gonzo journalism. Curtis Robinson catches Nile Southern, Terry's son, in the lobby of the Beverly Hills Hotel and they discuss President Trump and the nature of men (not women so much). Nile Southern is also making a documentary about his dad you’ll want to check out, "Dad Strangelove" at http://dadstrangelove.com/
