It felt very very real. I remember the Day After well- but does anyone else remember: Threads? The UK nuke movie. Testament? Really good and creepy as hell. If I remember right, it was supposed to take place in Marin! Personally, I blame Roger Waters for filling me with nuclear paranoia. Speaking of which, here's an obscure piece of the era: "When The Wind Blows" by Raymond Briggs. Great children's story about an elderly English couple who think that nuclear war will be like the blitz, so they build a shelter and survive, only to die slowly from the fallout. whee! It was made into an animated film with Bowie, Genesis, and Roger Waters on the soundtrack. Used to listen to that all the time.
