Summary

Watch out for that cow and get ready for "intense depiction of very bad weather" because we're discussing Jan de Bont's 1996 effects extravaganza Twister! Tagging in for the conversation is Edison Skinner, the co-host of the Talk Movie to Me podcast! Join us as we do a deep dive into this film's very troubled production history before marveling at the sheer movie magic on display. From the computer-generated twisters (which still hold up!) to extensive practical effects, it's a true marvel of a film. Plus: Pepsi product placement, a chode of an F-5 tornado, and plenty of love for Jami Gertz's Dr. Melissa Reeves. References: > Gumeny, Eirik.
