The Gory Gays

Dante's Peak (1997)

Alex Marquez & Stanley Jacobus Season 2 Episode 38

We'd like to consider Episode 38 our "Summer Blockbuster" film, and for the following reasons:

a) it's mostly an action film
b) Pierce Brosnan
c) it's not TWISTERS
d) refer to "c"

Everyone tune in now as we slash up and bleed out our first natural disaster flick - and a collective fav, as it turns out - DANTE'S PEAK (1997), directed by Roger Donaldson and co-starring Linda Hamilton (and before the haters come for us, we're aware AND ashamed that we completely skipped over the fact that she starred in Children of the Corn). We dish on all things volcanoes, growing up in the PNW, shitty parenting, Linda's divorce from James Cameron, and really, whether or not this is actually a horror movie. We mean... just because it's MOSTLY an action movie doesn't mean it isn't posing as a diet slasher...

Spoiler: we think it kinda is.

See you next week for 2001's intense road-thriller, JOYRIDE!
