This lacked the cynical bite of Judge's Office Space or Idiocracy, but was still fairly funny. In a general laid-back kind of way. Though of course the concept of testicular loss is one that wince at more in empathy than humor. Most importantly both Mila Kunis and Ben Affleck are not annoying. I mean not likeable, 'cause one is a small time grifter and the other a drug pushing, gigolo pimping bartender. But I didn't want to punch them in the throat to make them stop talking. So good job on that to both of them...

Nothing happens throughout 1959; France sets off a handful of bombs from early 1960 through the spring of 1961; then the Soviets go absolutely apeshit in September of that year, and things don’t really calm down again until the early 1990s. In this video, the erratic incidence of US and Soviet tests in the 1950s looks and sounds like a conversation. Afterwards, it’s an incoherent frenzy.
