Everything is f*@king' moving!

A true pleasure of an installment, two movies I really like. In one corner we have George A. Romero's cult classic(https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0069895/?ref_=fn_al_tt_2) and in the other is Breck Eisner's very impressive update(https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0455407/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1)

Today we are also joined by our first guest in our shows history, one Miss Jennifer Ragle. She has a show her self with Wednesday's With Wendell(https://open.spotify.com/show/1tJEmwBv3VuDGckPLUn3OD?si=QNi8D1YqSVeA14NDYg1hdA)

Doing the Poseiden Adventure already, What IRRESPONSIBLE BASTARDS WE ARE...

The thirty first episode of our show has us diving head first into the icy cold waters of a pair of Aquatic Disaster movies, The Poseiden Adventure(The Poseidon Adventure (1972) - IMDb) from 1972 and Poseiden(Poseidon (2006) - IMDb) that was released in 2006. Can we stomach a blockbuster from before our time or are we more inclined to swim with Snake Pliskin instead.
