The China Syndrome - a podcast by Ryan & Bev Ellis

What better way to enjoy the summer (and our staycation) than to spend 45 minutes jawing about a potential nuclear disaster? Fun in the sun, baby! The Next 157 Project has a lot of praise to dole out to Jane Fonda, Jack Lemmon and director James Bridges for their outstanding work here. Ryan has some love for producer/co-star Michael Douglas too, although Bev isn’t quite as down with him (in general). This documentary-like drama feels so real that it’s hard not to be drawn into its intense grip. It’s also more of a story about television and journalism than it is about nuclear power, so that appealed to us TV people. So get comfy in your lawn chair as we enter the middle of July and enjoy our take on one of the most-underrated thrillers of the late-’70s.
