    In "A House of Dynamite," the worst movie I saw in 2025, President Idris Elba starts talking about a podcast he listens to moments before a nuclear missile levels Chicago and everyone in the theater laughed.

    If u watch “A House of Dynamite” on Netflix, you’ll get a chilling & stark reminder of why #FELON should not be president 🇺🇸 This is an extraordinary piece of film making. The Pentagon & White House are mighty pissed off about it. Brilliant stuff from Katherine Bigelow. #MovieNight 🎬🍿📽️🎃 1/2🧵

    I watched A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE last night, and it is physically sickening to think of how our current administration would handle the nuclear crisis depicted in the movie. Would they allow Chicago to be nuked? Would they be too unprepared to respond? The mind boggles.

    A House of Dynamite is the best film in years on nuclear war. You may think the risks are small, but even a small danger, multiplied over a number of years, sums to an unacceptable chance of nuclear annihilation. My thoughts on the film, below, and this short 🧵. newrepublic.com/article/2016...

    A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE is great! Watching it reminded me of THE DAY AFTER in 1983. It's a terrifying experience because you can't help but think of how the awful people running Washington today would handle an incoming nuclear strike (the premise of the film.) We're in danger every day because of them.

    A film I would love to see is a House of Dynamite-style thing about a corrupt President, obviously an analogue for Trump, defecting to Moscow after the walls start closing in. The film would follow the diplomatic fallout, the continuity of government drama, and the intelligence community freak-out.
