Twister is Still Awesome 25 Years Later! - Talking About Tapes (#47)
Published 4 years, 10 months ago
Description
Since Twister is celebrating its 25th anniversary, Tony and Newt decided to revisit it. In this Podcast / Movie Review they will talk about all the things that make it awesome. From the ground breaking special effects, the non stop action sequences, and the memorable performances by the late Bill Paxton and Phillip Seymour Hoffman.
During the approach of the most powerful storm in decades, university professor Dr. Jo Harding (Helen Hunt) and an underfunded team of students prepare the prototype for Dorothy, a ground-breaking tornado data-gathering device conceived by her estranged husband, Bill (Bill Paxton). When Harding tells Bill that Dorothy is ready for testing -- and that their privately funded rival Dr. Jonas Miller (Cary Elwes) has stolen the idea and built his own -- Bill rejoins the team for one last mission.
