In this episode, I'm taking a dive into nuclear testing in the U.S., specifically the Nevada Proving Ground. I'm tying one of my favorite genres, horror, into the discussion through the 2006 film The Hills Have Eyes which includes a note about the history of nuclear testing as the backdrop and driving force for the plot. Resources are below as always!
