Disaster Girls: A Podcast About Disaster Movies
Amanda Smith believes that not every disaster movie is a disaster. Whether it’s an A-List actor trying to outrun a lava flow, or a C-List actor punching a mutant shark in the face, Amanda will find something to love - or to laugh about. Join her every Wednesday as she breaks down the highs and lows of a beloved (or under appreciated) entry in the disaster movie canon.
