The Poseidon Adventure (1972) - Ronald Neame - Cinematic Flashback Podcast
Description
🚢 In this episode of the Cinematic Flashback Podcast, Chuck is joined once again by co-host Matt as they set sail on The Poseidon Adventure (1972), directed by Ronald Neame and starring Gene Hackman, Ernest Borgnine, Shelley Winters, and Red Buttons.
One of the defining disaster films of the 1970s, The Poseidon Adventure turns an upside-down cruise ship into a tense, emotional journey of survival. Chuck and Matt dive into the film’s larger-than-life characters, the practical effects that raised the bar for the genre, and how this all-star ensemble navigates both chaos and character arcs.
Does The Poseidon Adventure still make waves over 50 years later—or has it sunk with time? Find out in our “Did It Groove or Lose Its Beat?” segment. Buckle up for a deep dive into a blockbuster that proved not even a capsized ship can keep a good movie down.
