EP. 329 — Twister (1996)
This week, Paul & Amy are breaking down the 1996 weather disaster movie Twister, starring Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton (not Pullman). The two chat about the link between Godzilla and Twister, this being the first movie to come out on DVD, and how dangerous it was to be on the set of this film. Plus: Paul and Amy break down the original Van Halen songs made for the Twister soundtrack.
Next week we’ll be continuing on with our Disaster Movie Summer with the 2014 film, Edge of Tomorrow aka Live. Die. Repeat. You can find Edge of Tomorrow on any streaming services but don’t forget to check your local library or apps like Hoopla and Kanopy!
