The Towering Inferno (1974) | Ep. 76 - Part 2

The fire's still raging into the second half. Luke, Westy and Matt continue the story of Irwin Allen's all-time disaster epic, turning to the people who built the spectacle and the climax that brings the tower down. We dig into the crew behind the film — the screenplay, a John Williams score from just before he became a legend, and the enormous practical effects work — before breaking down the finale, the box office and reception, and the dream that accidentally invented Die Hard. Plus the hosts' final verdict and scores. If you've not heard Part 1 — the beginning, the directors, the cast, and the middle — go back and start there.
