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.

Apocalypse Pompeii is a movie packed with disasters and devoid of scientific accuracy, and that's why we love it.

This week, we demand justice for 65, a movie so misunderstood that even the official synopsis is wrong.
After a catastrophic crash on an unknown planet, pilot Mills quickly discovers he's actually stranded on Earth -- 65 million years ago. Now, with only one chance at a rescue, Mills and the only other survivor, Koa, must make their way across an unknown terrain riddled with dangerous prehistoric creatures.

La Brea is barreling toward the season finale with giant bees, Ty's main character syndrome, and a genuinely touching moment between Izzy and Levi!
Eve and Gavin ally with James to infiltrate the Lazarus building in hopes of saving Ty and stopping Kiera from destroying their only way home; when a deadly horde awakens beneath the clearing, Veronica must save Ella before a lethal sting kills her. Gavin leads his family toward a new way home, but each step inches everyone closer toward his devastating vision of Eve's death; Levi, ostracized from the others, is given a chance at redemption when an old foe proposes a deal.
