No Blade of Grass would be a great TCM Underground double-feature with Threads (1984) imho. Mid-To-Late Cold War British Apocalypse Night!

Before Silent Spring most post-apocalyptic sci-fi was solely a nuclear affair. After Silent Spring, a renaissance of environmental devastation dystopias. Thank you Rachel Carson, for your contributions to not just science and environmentalism, but also inadvertently, the science fiction genre ...
