Be sure to put on those lava-proof tires and snorkel exhaust pipes, because we’re headed to “Dante’s Peak,” the second best place to live (population below 20,000) and the only volcano movie of 1997… oh, wait, damnit, Tommy Lee Jones made one too.
Anyway, the better (?) volcano movie stars a James Bond and a Sarah Connor and features a whole bunch of excellent practical effects, a pyroclastic cloud, and some of the dumbest movie characters of the 1990s. That includes Grandma Ruth and her fateful dip into an acid lake. Boy howdy, do we have some thoughts on that one.
Shaun Scott returns to the podcast to discuss his visit to the “Dante’s Peak” set in Wallace, Idaho during production. He’s a pretty big deal.

Why did Grandma Ruth jump into the lake when the boat was only two feet from the dock?
Oh, Tyler goes into GREAT detail in this episode regarding Grandma Ruth. Angela’s take: SHE’S THE WORST!
