Clash Of The Titles - a movie podcast!

For the final instalment of Clash of the Titles, there was only one movie matchup we could do: the very films that the entire show was pitched on back in 2019. Oddly, they’re a bit rubbish - but hilarious fun to talk about!

We’re comparing two disastrous natural disasters from 1997, as Volcano takes on today’s topic of eruption discussion: Dante’s Peak. A bitter volcanologist - whose sworn enemy is an actual volcano - gets a shot at vengeance when a huge eruption threatens to wipe out the entire town he’s just stumbled across. Bonus points for insisting on being saved before the women and children in his custody.

We'll be back with the final episode of Clash of the Titles this Thursday!

It’s a comic book showdown on today’s show - but not the usual kind. Forget your Marvel masterpieces and stale Superman side quests, let’s watch a 52 year-old detective’s scrap with a half-invisible playboy in Dick Tracy vs The Shadow!

First up, 1990’s Dick Tracy. In this comical comic caper, an underwhelming Batman rip-off clashes with a shouty gangster who actually wants to be a musical theatre director. It all feels a bit rushed - perhaps because lead actor and director Warren Beatty was told any budget overspending would come out of his fee!
