Coming up on the Men at the Movies podcast, we talk about WarGames. Even though it’s forty years old, we find familiar themes with the threat of nuclear war and the use of artificial intelligence. We’ve all had nuclear bombs hit our lives, devastating moments that can give rise to futility. As a result, we can become gun shy, seeing bombs where they don’t exist, listening to computer driven hallucinations. Join us as we discover God’s truth in this movie.
What’s your favorite nuclear war movie?
What would an apocalyptic life be like?
How would you respond if a nuclear war, or apocalyptic event occurred?
How can you maintain a sense of morality and ethics in a post-apocalyptic world?
What happens to a society when cultural norms are reset?
What things do you sometimes have to dissociate from?
What decisions do you trust to computers? What would you leave in the hands of humans?
What nuclear bomb has exploded in your life? Did you respond with futility or did you fight?
How have dealt with the horrors of surviving the explosions in your life?
