Watched half and thought it was peak but a bit short, then realised the download from sky was corrupted.

Big fan of both Coogan and Dr Stangelove, so I really enjoyed this. I wish I could have seen it live but I didn't have the money to drop on it. I like some of the adaptations to the humour, but despite obligatory "sad that it is still relevant today" I really feel like this holds up, especially a lot of the original jokes they kept in. I would do anything for a WELL DONE modern remake. Coogan was amazing. How did they change wigs so fast.

Robbie I'm forcing the original on you next time I see you

I already really like the original, so adding steve coogan in was a sure fire way to make me love this. I don't know if I can honestly say coogan is better than Peter Sellers but there is a bit of me that thinks he might have been. Also, look at me, watching a play. I'm going to start throwing around the phrase "Ah the arts" now, just because I can.

Quite relevant right now considering all that's going on, ignoring the silliness of the whole thing it highlights the absurdity behind military strategy regarding nuclear bombs and following proper procedures

Not as good overall as Kubrick's version, but definitely funnier. To be fair though, it is VERY hard to beat George C. Scott and Peter Sellers incredible performances in the original Stanley Kubrick classic.

- Often REALLY funny, occasionally cringy. Some jokes HIT, some went on way too long. I understand its just the medium lol- THE FUCKING PRODUCTION VALUE.- Loved the “they’re woke now” running gag- Actually idk how this happened but Turgidson seems slightly toned down? Idk how they managed that in a play medium. It’s not even because Oliver Alvin-Wilson didn’t do a good job, he did, but George C Scott was a fucking crackhead.- Honestly almost everyone in this did such a good job, ESPECIALLY Coogan and Jayawardena.- The presidents assistant guy was annoying as shit but I understand the necessity - Speaking of which, the way they worked around the whole “multiple characters played by the same guy in a live setting” was actually really clever!- Strangelove is actually slightly more likable in a hes still a piece of shit kind of way and I kinda liked that interpretation???? I credit that to Coogan’s more silly performance and the additional screentime. That point joke had me fucking dying. Also cyborg Strangelove is such a cool change- A lot of the changes for this medium really worked. But i did not care for the changes made to Major Kong at ALL, especially his ending. It felt almost malicious and Kong always seemed like more of a blatantly ignorant kind of guy.- Its passionate, earnest, slightly cringy (in an endearing way), but above a love letter to the original and I have a lot of respect for it.

Overall, that was so much fun and it reminded me of what I love about this story.

P.S. this somehow cemented Mandrake as one of my favorite characters in all of fiction even further. Don't know how that was possible.
