## Resource

The Day After is an American television film depicting the effects of a nuclear war on a small-town community in Kansas. It was broadcast in 1983. In this episode, I speak with the film's director. As well as directing several movies, Nicholas Meyer is an Academy Award-nominated screenwriter and an author. He talks about Thanksgiving meals with Oppenheimer, stormy times behind the scenes, and why the day after might have saved the world.  Follow me on Instagram: @AllThatChas Hosted on Acast.
