Curated by: The Cold War (348 videos)
Our historical documentary series on the history of the Cold War continues with a look at how the Cold War was reflected in everyday life, including Saturday Morning cartoons. We look at things like He-Man, M.A.S.K., and of GI Joe to examine how the ideas and concepts of Cold War thinking and masculinity were portrayed, even if inadvertently, in children's television programming. David also makes various cartoon references, bringing him back to his childhood.
