The "Dirty Sons of Pitches" are tackling two big-budget 1997 Hollywood disaster movies featuring angry volcanos, though "Volcano" is more about redirecting lava and "Dante's Peak" is more about everything else relating to a volcano except lava. The guys discuss the differences, the inherent campiness, and the value of either, as well as the demand for volcano movies to include lava. Available on Apple and Spotify Episode 366 includes: -Major shakeup as James Gunn sheds to the old baggage of the Snyder DC-verse. -Trailer reactions to the best summer double-feature: "Oppenheimer" and Greta Gerwig's "Barbie." -Ben is lukewarm on "Banshees of Inisherin." -In the battle of Pinocchios, Guillermo del toro reigns supreme. -Double or Nothing -- "Volcano" / "Dante's Peak" -Do you need lava in your volcano movie? Do you like lots of ash? Do you like Pierce Brosnan as the hunkiest geologist in history? Do you like "Jaws" but as a volcano? Do you like old crabby grandmothers burning to death from lakes of acid? The guys debate the two big volcano disaster films of 1997 that came to define our times. |
