THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE
from TDM: Total Dad Movies with Tooky, Dave, & Mike · host Mike Dorval, Tooky Kavanagh, David Rabinow
HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM THE DADS! This 1972 disaster flick (which takes place on New Year's Eve) has everything: tidal waves, turtle necks, charred corpses, soft rock anthems, and a spectacularly unfunny Leslie Nielsen. It's also got 5 Oscar winners, some pretty amazing practical effects, and is generally acknowledged to be the high point of the "disaster movie" craze of the 70s. Who's the Dad of this film? What makes this such a Dad Movie? And why they gotta do Shelley Winters like that? Thank you for counting down to 2024 with us! Now, come aboard - we're expecting you in the engine room of Ronald Neame's 1972 popcorn classic THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE!
