Episode 5 - Volcano

January 09, 2025 • Tim • Season 1 • Episode 5

Andrew and Tim watch 1997's Volcano.

Released around the same time as Dante's Peak and generally considered the 'more crap one', Volcano has Tommy Lee Jones and Anne Heche trying to stop lava that starts streaming from the La Brea Tar Pits in post-race-riots LA.

Will Tommy Lee Jones save the day? Will the town officials do their disaster-movie duty by refusing to believe the danger and interfering every step of the way? Will the filmmakers imply a romantic relationship between Jones and Heche despite the 20+ year age difference?

And will Volcano live up to the one of the better taglines of the day - the Coast is Toast!
