This Thing Is Gonna Blow (S1-E6, Nick Barber) Pop, the Question
-
- Society & Culture
While archeologists have Indiana Jones, geologists have Harry Dalton, Pierce Brosnan’s character in the 1997 volcano extravaganza "Dante’s Peak." The film laid the groundwork for scientific representation of volcanology in mainstream culture, and made an impact on how emergency agencies prepare the public for disaster. Host Dr. Melinda Lewis and aspiring volcanologist Nick Barber grapple with what "Dante’s Peak" gets right, what it gets wrong, and how popular culture shapes the way audiences interact with their natural environment.
