On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are trying to get anybody to just believe for once about that damn dangerous volcano! We watched the 1997 film from Roger Donaldson, Dante’s Peak.
I don’t know about you, but if I’ve got a confident and renowned volcanologist hanging out in my quaint mountain town at the base of a giant volcano desperately warning everybody of an impending eruption, I’m going to listen to the guy.
It’s understandable why most of the town didn’t want to listen to the guy—it’s their home, after all. It would take a lot for most people to pack up their entire lives and leave.
However, I’m no volcano expert. I shouldn’t be the one judging whether or not a volcano is safe to be around. If I hear even the first whisper that something bad could be brewing, I’m going to seriously consider getting out as soon as possible.
But then, if everyone did that, this wouldn’t be much of a film, would it? It was a tragedy, to be sure, but we can all rest easy knowing that the cute dog made it out alive.
