Ep. 184: Catastrophe

Come, one and all, to #WHATTHEFoctober: where we talk about movies we had NO IDEA New World Pictures made.  It's a month of deep cuts and B-sides for those of you that remember vinyl records.  We're starting off with a bang, or lava flow, or air disaster, or tornado with 1977's CATASTROPHE.  This little hidden gem is a documentary that explores some of history’s most devastating real-life disasters, from the Hindenburg explosion to Hurricane Camille and the sinking of the Andrea Doria. So.  Much. Fun.

Written and directed by Larry Savadove, the film features narration by William Conrad (CANNON, MOONSHINE COUNTY EXPRESS). Packed with harrowing archival footage, CATASTROPHE delivers a wild glimpse into humanity’s darkest moments and will make you say "hip, hip, hooray" that you're still alive. 

We break down each of the disaster segments and learn that Erica does not have a good sense on when a disaster warning has graduated to a disaster emergency.   Ryan doesn't understand Nascar, Formula 1 or auto racing, in general.   Marc knows too much about Nascar - a sport he doesn't actually enjoy. None of your hosts at the New World Pictures Podcast like watching real people die.  Sorry VS, we aren't buying copies of Faces of Death.
