What do you think? Does this sound like a great new b-movie coming to a theater near you? Read this crazy bit about the Pentagon, MySpace, and conservative talk show hosts via BoingBoing here. Man, the 50s cold war tactics of fear, terror and misinformation are all too close to us these days.

    Jim I think we need to make this movie as a DTLT portion of the annual “X Goes to College” video that Pam is working on.

    Can we please do this? I’m serious, it’ll be awesome.

    Joe,
    Funny you should mention this, I was just putting together a blog post on b-movies dealing with the communist scare during the late 40s and throughout the 50s. I would definitely be game. And we already have the soundtrack care of WFMU here.
