Tsunamis. Collisions with icebergs. Rampaging dinosaurs. Let's be real: watching the world destroyed by the force of Mother Nature is only entertaining on the silver screen, especially when spectacular special effects are on full display.

This year, disaster movies are taking the Plaza Classic Film Festival by storm.

KISS-FM morning radio show host (and newest member of the Plaza Classic Film Festival Advisory Committee) Fernando Montejano, aka "Grizz," joins Stephanie Valle and Lisa Elliott in the studio to talk about about some of the movies being screened as a part of this thread, plus his own favorite disaster movie!

The Plaza Classic Podcast is a production of the El Paso Community Foundation and is recorded on the El Paso Community College campus.

Check out this week's show notes here.

The film festival takes place from July 16-26, 2026. Festival passes are available to purchase now at this link.
