While the world falls apart around us, Jeff and Richard focus on two specific disasters. In San Francisco, a fire rages out of control in the world's tallest building. In New York, a meteor splinter decimates the city. It's going to take more than your regular hosts to cover what's happening, so we've invited some special correspondents.

Yes, we're discussing the pinnacle of 1970s disaster films, The Towering Inferno (1974), and what some would consider the nadir, Meteor (1979.) Among the first-time viewings and revisits of your podcasters, you'll find much agreement, but also some surprising conclusions.

Don't forget to check out the video companion on our YouTube channel. Put images to the voices... if you dare!

EP 76: It's a Disaster II

Julius en Jasper bespreken twee rampenfilms uit de jaren 70 van producent Irwin Allen: The Poseidon Adventure (1972) van Ronald Neame en The Towering Inferno (1974) van John Guillermin. Als er eentje zou moeten verdwijnen, welke mag dan blijven?

En de volgende Julius vs Jasper? Dan gaan we het hebben over Planet of the Vampires (1965) vs Lifeforce (1985).

Celebrating fifty years, Irwin Allen’s epic production of THE TOWERING INFERNO stars Steve McQueen as the firefighter, Paul Newman as the architect, William Holden as the builder, and Richard Chamberlain as one of the greatest villains to ever wreak havoc in a disaster movie!

But will Wayne and Kendall handle the heat of THE TOWERING INFERNO?
