There’s chasing storms… and then there’s chasing something bigger.

This week on Millennial Meets Gen Z: 90’s Edition, we dive into one of the most iconic disaster movies of the 90s — Twister (1996) — a film that didn’t just entertain audiences, it inspired an entire generation to look to the skies.

We follow Jo and Bill as they race to deploy Dorothy, a groundbreaking tornado research device, while navigating storm systems, rival chasers, and the emotional weight behind why Jo chases storms in the first place.

We talk:🌪️ The unforgettable storm-chasing scenes🌪️ The chaos, science, and storytelling behind the film🌪️ Bill Paxton, Helen Hunt, and Philip Seymour Hoffman’s performances

Plus, Allison shares a personal story about attending storm spotter training — and unexpectedly meeting the son of Dr. Ted Fujita, the real-life “Mr. Tornado” who created the Fujita scale.
