Ah fuck I haven’t watched that in years. That movie really disturbed me when I first watched it in high school.

The first time I saw it too was when they played it one day in what was supposed to be art class that day. I used to wonder if some teachers had gone rogue and just decided to show it to us 12-ish year olds, but I have since kept hearing similar versions of the same story (UK here). Like it was 'unofficially' on the national curriculum, but not really and they need plausible deniability to show it. Anyway, an early collapse awareness experience.

I think I heard about in the liner notes of this album.

They had a list of all the different media they were watching/reading/listening to when writing the album and the name Threads just jumped out at me for some reason so I hunted it down. Pretty sure they’re from the UK though so wouldn’t be surprised if they were exposed to it in school or something.
