Gill Langer (Pitch Perfect’s Anna Camp), a relationship podcaster, influencer and oversharer, is celebrating her 40th birthday alongside her husband, Jack Langer (The Hangover’s Justin Bartha), an unassuming educator who wants nothing more than for them to conceive a child. Convening at a lavish estate, she throws a cannabis-infused dinner party with some of her closest friends, couples who are also at a crossroads in their relationships. As the night carries on, the high settles in and the insecurities of their respective relationships come to the surface; everyone gets a sudden phone alert that a nuclear missile is headed directly toward them.You’d be surprised what facing your impending death looks like and how weed, surprisingly, may not be your best ally in this scenario.

Director Deena Kashper’s comedy provides clever observations through whimsical, quirky episodes that satirize the millennial mindsets on modern relationships and potential parenthood. With a winning cast including Lucy Punch (Into the Woods), George Young (Falling for Christmas), Ignacio Serricchio (Lost in Space), Tawny Newsome (Space Force), Natasha Leggero (First Time Female Director), Maulik Pancholy (30 Rock) and Stephen Guarino (Happy Endings), Nuked will bring laughter, discomfort and introspection to audiences.––Nora Bernard
