Well, a film hasn’t confounded us as much as The Manhattan Project in quite a while. A film where John Lithgow’s attempts to get laid lead to the possible nuclear destruction of New York. A film where a child builds a nuclear bomb in a jaunty montage. A film where we are supposed to side with someone who is essentially a domestic terrorist because he is young and ‘sticking it to “The Man”‘. So come and listen to us be bemused and infuriated in equal measures about: terrible laboratory etiquette, glittery shampoo being a substitute for plutonium, remote control car peekaboo hi-jinks, secret C4 dealings between teenagers and the fact that we would totally support our protagonist being shot dead by the military.
