That’s Armageddon: The “Evolution” of the ‘70s Disaster Picture (with Scott Weitz)
Show Notes

Season 2, The Shirley Chronicles, continues! Now that "Airplane!" is out of the way, it's time to salute the genre responsible for that landmark comedy: the 1970's disaster film.

Capsized ocean liners, towering infernos, multiple wrecked airplanes (and fully stocked airports), big buses... there's so much to discuss. Plus, "Dread of Night" creator Scott Weitz stops by to help your wonky yet affable host discuss one of the biggest moneymakers of the genre, 1974's "Earthquake"!
