How to Survive: The Poseidon Adventure (1972)
How to Survive - A podcast by Joe Shervell and Chris Morris
This week we're getting wet and wild with The Poseidon Adventure! The Poseidon Adventure (1972) tells the story of a capsized super-liner travelling between New York and Athens (Greece, not Georgia). It falls to Reverend Frank Scott to help a group of misfits survive by climbing to the bottom of the ship (which is now the top...) We talk about the likelihood of suffering a fatal heart attack shortly after revealing a world-record breaking talent; the upsetting lack of mettle shown by a maritime commander; and the logistics of a gyroscopic ship. All of which leads to one big question: How would you survive? Whatever happens, one thing's for sure... In the water, I'm a very skinny lady. Another classic film solved by the best movie podcast in the world.
