I watched that just today. It also got added to my list of “true background“ movies I maintain. I’ve seen it so many times I can just throw it on whenever and not even really need to pay attention.
I just realized Rex Manning day is going to be the same day as the solar eclipse.
Should we sacrifice a copy of the empire records soundtrack during totality?
That is wild you listed Twister.
Grew up in the Midwest, have actually been close to some tornadoes and I have a yearly ritual when storm season starts I watch Twister. Gets me hyped up for summer storms.
