WARGAMES https://www.grandcinema.com/films/wargames/ | Wednesday, Oct.
16 at 1:45pm & 6:45pm

A young computer whiz kid accidentally connects into a top secret
super-computer which has complete control over the U.S. nuclear arsenal. It
challenges him to a game between America and Russia, and he innocently
starts the countdown to World War 3. Can he convince the computer he wanted
to play a game and not the real thing?

FILM DISCUSSION
After the 6:45pm screening of the film, join Gabriel Spitzer, host of
KNKX's podcast Sound Effect
, and guests for a discussion of the film: How
vulnerable are we to nuclear annihilation? How well does the human vs
machine storyline hold up? How would the film feel different if it were
shot in the PNW today? This discussion will be recorded for possible airing
on the Sound Effect show.
