The Poseidon Adventure & Poseidon - Presented by Carnival Cruise Lines

Published: Jan. 2, 2023, 8 a.m.

On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are waging a desperate, death-defying war with an overturned boat. Twice. We watched the Ronald Neame film from 1972, The Poseidon Adventure, AND the Wolfgang Petersen film from 2006, Poseidon.

In celebration of the age of the first film we watched, we\u2019re doing a disaster movie double feature! We\u2019re out at sea and celebrating New Year\u2019s Day on a boat that just can\u2019t seem to stay afloat. The whole dang thing is a quitter.

I mean, what sort of thing capsizes because of a giant wave? If boats are going to defy all logical sense by being behemoths and still floating on water, the least they could do is stand up to a wave or two.

But noooooo, these dang things have got to immediately flip over and kill about 98% of its passengers and crew. Many people will blame the wave for this destruction, but maybe we\u2019ve been looking at it all wrong.

I suggest that the boat is the real monster here. Maybe if it had tried harder, then those hundreds of people would still have their lives. What an abject, horrifying monster the S.S. Poseidon is.
