you either BURN baby BURN, or you DROWN baby DROWN : (
Eliza, Noah, and Anthony return to the 1970s glory days of the disaster genre, big destructive movies in which an ensemble cast of the era's stars dodge debris, rising waters, and some matching schlocky theme songs by Maureen McGovern.
The real life-threatening dilemma is this: which movie actually wins?? We've got a tie for the ages, with the team having mixed feelings on both the sizzling, broader-in-scope star vehicle The Towering Inferno and the splashy religious epic of an upturned boat The Poseidon Adventure. The former has a nice big spread of characters facing a multitude of mini-disasters, plus it's a rare example of a pair of twin films being knitted together. But the latter has Gene Hackman as an angry new age priest in a skivvy, so audience; you gotta help us out!!
Vote via our Instagram page to decide which 70's disaster is, once and for all, the most Towering or uhh Adventurous.
