Airport, the Poseidon Adventure, Earthquake, and The Towering Inferno

We’ve got our usual lineup of four movies and a short film this week— This time, We’ll look at the cause of manypeople’s phobias and nightmares. Yes, it’s the 1970’s disaster movie craze. If you weren’t afraid of saying, cruise ships, and skyscrapers— you will be. We’ll look at the original “Airport” (1970), “The Poseidon Adventure” (1972), “Earthquake” (1974), and “The Towering Inferno” (1974).

As a bonus this week, we’ll look at two more disasters:

•    “Airport 1975” (1974)

•    “Meteor” (1979)

Four YEARS AGO this week, on episode 9, we looked at “The Stuff” (1985) and “Crucible of the Vampire” (2019).
