Back in the Day with John and Jay
Episode 134: Twister (1996) // Plus Jay's Vacation Exploits.
This week we will dive into the whirlwind plot where storm-chasing scientists Jo (Helen Hunt) and Bill (Bill Paxton) race against time—and each other—to deploy their groundbreaking weather research equipment, all while battling a series of deadly tornadoes. We’ll discuss the film's edge-of-your-seat action sequences, from the flying cows to the epic finale, and why Twister became a summer blockbuster sensation.
Get ready for an in-depth discussion on the movie’s memorable moments, including the intense tornado chases, the chaotic flying debris, and that unforgettable drive-in movie scene. We’ll also explore the chemistry between the cast, the film’s depiction of extreme weather phenomena, and how it brought storm chasing into the pop culture spotlight.
