Classic B or C-movies which many have seen on VHS in the 90s when they were kids. It was fun and new at the time but of course the first movies are the best.

What a great article! Never heard about Bilenkin, will probably read something.
I've got a feeling that Strugatsky's works other than Roadside Picnic are underrated, not only worldwide but even in Russia. I'm speaking about the Noon cycle, in particular. My all-time favourite is Far Rainbow, which is quite a short but…

Hmm, American/Western culture of the 60s is pretty well-known around here I'd say, and the Cold War is not really popular. So no, it's rather random posts here and there, but no focused discussion.
P.S. I discovered this gem of a website from Reddit and it's wonderful.
