2/7 Real Genius (Martha Coolidge, 1985)
Presented by Julian Chambliss
While classic is perhaps too strong a description, Real Genius (1985) offers a snapshot of1980s filmmaking about cold war anxiety that we should not ignore. While more serious films about the Reagan Era military escalation define cinematic discussions of the era, we should consider how the comedy does not prevent this film from adroitly addressing longstanding fears about the military industrial complex.
