(VIDEO) WEDNESDAY LOWDOWN: Women Warriors Will Rule America After the Great Nuclear War

Somewhere in Colorado

With the prospect of nuclear war more imaginable than at any point in recent memory perhaps you are wondering what post-kaboom America will look like. Hey, it’s not so bad. Amazon-like women warriors will claim their role as the rulers of society while men — who are very, very dumb, mind you — will run either run feral in the wilderness or be kept as submissive sex slaves.

That’s not so bad, right? Thanks, Trump! 

This is the fun-topian future imagined in the 1986 sci-fi artifact America 3000 which is this week’s Sci-Fi Pint and Pizza Night selection at the Arcata Theatre Lounge. If you are too busy building your bomb shelter tonight (we get it) and can’t make it out tonight, at least take a moment and watch the trailer below for a brief “ha.”
