In this episode, Don and Rob struggle to understand the apocalypse they've found themselves in by talking about disaster films and how they reflect human society. They're joined in the raging chaos by Jack Ward and Dave Towers, who drop by to share a few thoughts on the genre. Along the way, the group discusses Irwin Allen, Social Anxiety, and why disaster films may have been ruined by CGI. All this, and Jack Ward's creepy new hobby, is waiting for you in this episode of The Department of Nerdly Affairs.
