About this episode

The episode discusses the film Airport 1975, its impact as a disaster sequel, and its cultural significance.

Believe it or not, Airport 1975 was one of the biggest sequels of its era. Released at the height of the disaster movie craze in the 1970s, it was critically panned but audiences ate it up. Today it's mostly remembered for the film that parodied it, Airplane! Nonetheless we think it deserves discussion and guest Cam Sully of The Jacked Up Review Podcast joins to discuss. _________________ Please consider joining our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/wwibofficial YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@whywasntitbetter Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/wwibpodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wwib_official X: https://x.com/WWIBpodcast Subscribe!
