Scorcher 2002

1

Movie subgenre which flourished in the '70s, the disaster film revolves around some great natural or man-made catastrophe, such as an earthquake, fire or airplane crash. Generally the casts were made up of a virtual army of washed-up stars and familiar character actors. Once the disaster has commenced, the cast of stars is usually confronted with human weaknesses, often falls in love, and almost always finds a bad guy to blame. In the '90s, a whole new surge of disaster films hit the cinema, boasting increased technical know-how and huge budgets. Forgoing the more star-centered human dramas of the '70s, films like Dante's Peak and Armageddon turned up the volume and crushed lots of digitized people under acres of famous landmark rubble.

Each week, the FilmSack crew picks a strange movie from the bowels of Netflix streaming and splatters it all over your inner ear. Sometimes it’s a long forgotten horror movie from the 70′. Sometimes it’s a under the radar gem of brilliance from last year. One way or the other, this is not your typical movie show.

Join Scott Johnson and his FilmSack pals, Brian Ibbot, Brian Dunaway, and Randy Jordan, as they swim in a big vat of film-nerd sweat, and capture it all on tape!
