I can honestly say i don't know how it became such a hit show!
I think that it was a giant joke that everyone was in on... I mean, no one actually expected a good film going in. The premise is terrible, so you know. The film just sort of became an inside joke in so many different circles of friends before it even came out that everyone just sort of ran with it. And I think that's exactly what the studio wanted.
"Somebody told me when the bomb hits, everybody in a two mile radius will be instantly sublimated, but if you lay face down on the ground for some time, avoiding the residual ripples of heat, you might survive, permanently fucked up and twisted like you're always underwater refracted. But if you do go gas, there's nothing you can do if the air that was once you is mingled and mashed with the kicked up molecules of the enemy's former body. Big-kid-tested, motherf--ker approved."
