Episode #2: Tremors
On the Video Days podcast, I head into the Nevada desert in 1990, where two handymen, a seismologist, and a pair of trigger-happy survivalists face off against giant carnivorous worms they can’t outrun, outsmart, or outgun. My second episode — chronicling the odds Tremors overcame to make it to screen — runs 27:15.
Each episode is me reading a revised and expanded version of my newsletter production history. New episodes will arrive regularly, with revised archive stories appearing in the newsletter — stories I’ve deepened with new analysis and extensive quotes from the filmmakers. For the podcast, Tremors expanded from 3,436 words to 4,610.
