Dante’s Peak vs Volcano: Part 2

About this episode

So, here it is: the final episode of Clash of the Titles. And we’re going out with the biggest bang imaginable.


In the second half of our final destructive duel, we’re casting a cautious eye over 1997’s Volcano, which stars a dismissive Tommy Lee Jones looking suspiciously at manhole covers and literally laughing in the various faces of science. We have yet more disputes around basic volcanic terminology, all while the volcano itself manages to solve racist tensions marring the town. Ah, the movies…


Thank you to everyone who has listened to Clash over the past four and a half years. Be sure to have a peruse of our extensive back catalogue to hear us natter on about loads of movies you love - and plenty you might not.
