Today, the Kicking the Seat Podcast and HollywoodChicago.com's Pat “The Über Critic” McDonald fan the flames of cinema epics past with a look at 1974's The Towering Inferno! What happens when a state-of-the-art luxury skyscraper falls victim to shoddy wiring? You guessed it: fleeing snobs, elevators to Hell, and Paul Newman dangling from half-melted railing. Ian and Pat came at the movie from different perspectives, and the resulting conversation offers a rich contrast in how one's familiarity with a film can deeply affect their enjoyment of it.
Also, Ian talks about the new Jim Carrey movie, Dark Crimes, and delivers a fun post-chat surprise, courtesy of "The Über Critic”!
Episode 314's actions scenes were directed by Irwin Allen!
