    Thank you all for listening!




    Though it was once a wholesome, family-oriented attraction, a water park owned by Chet (David Koechner) now features a nudist pool and aquatic strippers. Chet's daughter, a marine biologist named Maddy (Danielle Panabaker), is unhappy about the changes but is powerless to stop the grand reopening. However, when a school of ravenous, prehistoric piranha migrate over from nearby Lake Victoria, Maddy must somehow prevent the park's patrons from becoming fish food.

    Daylight (1996) w/ Clay Keller

    This week Clay Keller (@claykeller) descends to the depths of the Holland Tunnel to discuss the ultimate Emergency Management movie.




    A group of armed robbers fleeing the police head for the New Jersey Tunnel and run right into trucks transporting toxic waste. The spectacular explosion that follows results in both ends of the tunnel collapsing and the handful of people who survived the explosion are now in peril. Kit Latura is the only man with the skill and knowledge to lead the band of survivors out of the tunnel before the structure collapses.

    Deep Impact (1998) w/ Colleen Haggerty

    Deep Impact (1998) w/ Colleen Haggerty

    This week we revisit the much-maligned (and misunderstood) "Deep Impact" with Colleen Haggerty (@colleenhagerty)




    A comet is hurtling toward Earth and could mean the end of all human life. The U.S. government keeps the crisis under wraps, but crack reporter Jenny Lerner (Tea Leoni) uncovers the truth -- forcing U.S. President Beck (Morgan Freeman) to announce his plan. Grizzled astronaut Spurgeon "Fish" Tanner (Robert Duvall) and his team will land on the comet and lay explosives, hopefully deterring the object from its doomsday course. If not, humanity will have to prepare for the worst.

A joy

A freewheeling delight! I’ve been listening while working on illustrations and it’s like being able to watch disaster films and hang out with friends at the same time.

Best of middle words!

Disaster pods is the only thing that I can get in the air fryer for the next two weeks so I’m going back to the house and then I’ll head to my office and then I’ll do the best thing for me and I’ll let you know if it’s ok for us to come over and pick up some things that would have to be done by Friday. Five stars!

Mostly fun but almost ruined by silly politics

Lots of fun and funny movie discussions but 3 episodes im and they keep dropping these pretty extreme left opinions that ruin the experience. I’m left leaning but every so often the hosts and guests will include some hardcore left opinions that are factually incorrect and/or so extreme you feel immediately alienated. These are weird inclusions in a podcast about movies but I guess they’re stuck in their social media bubbles and think these opinions are widely held and wouldn’t annoy for listeners
