The Poseidon Adventure (1972) feat. Stacie Ponder

Climb that metallic Christmas tree and follow that renegade reverend because we're going to Hell (upside down!) in Irwin Allen's production of Ronald Neame's The Poseidon Adventure (1972)! Tagging in for the conversation is horror blogger and Final Girl After Dark podcast host Stacie Ponder. Join us as we tackle a movie filled with Academy Award winners both in front of and behind the camera. We laud its era-defining (and Oscar-winning) special effects, while sobbing over all things Shelley Winters. No one phones it in in this disasterpiece from Master of Disaster Irwin Allen. Plus: "My Linda!", the shocking adaptation change made to Paul Gallico's 1969 source novel, a semi-positive portrayal of sex work in a '70s film and emphasizing the importance of grieving dead characters in a disaster movie.
