Pork Futures Ep.2 - 1970s Blimp-related disaster movies
7Welcome, PCs, to Pork Futures: The Level 0 NPCs Podcast. If you've ever been watching an episode of the Level 0 NPCs YouTube channel, and thought, "This is great, except they are mixing too much Let's Play into their inane banter," then this is the podcast for you! Andrew, Alex, Lewis, Luke, and Matt tackle pretty much any topic that comes to mind - it's a mess of a stream of consciousness, and it's here all for you!
This episode of Pork Futures: The NPCs watched and now want to tell you about 2 pieces of unrelated Blimp-adjacent disaster cinema from the '70s, "Black Sunday" and "Two Minute Warning," stories each of terrorism plots that involve somehow killing people at the Superbowl - with in one case the Goodyear Blimp as a weapon, and in the other as an ally on the side of justice.
These could very easily have been "1970s Superbowl-related disaster movies," but we focused more on the blimps.
