Disaster Du Jour

What’s with Disaster Du Jour? One of the most popular types of films decade after decade are disaster movies and it seems like these films are a reflection of the times we’re living in, or at least a reflection of what we’re frightened of at the time. In Disaster Du Jour, I’d like to explore disaster movies to see how they interrelate with one and other and how they fit into the times they were filmed.
