This video was created by Chris Mudge, one of the students in our Bad Geo Movies class this term. (It's more properly known as "GEOL 1199/5599: Geology in the Movies/Media," but that just sounds far too formal for our 1 credit seminar.) Each week throughout the semester, we had a short lecture to orient students and community members to some aspect of relevant geology, then watched/heckled/discussed a bad geology film. Afterwards, students wrote short essays explaining good and bad science presented in the movie, with grad students expected to also make a short (~5 min) video about a movie of their choice. This is one of those videos. Not content to focus on just one film, Chris addresses geologic problems in 4 of them: Dante's Peak, Volcano, Pompeii, and Miami Magma. Volcanoes, man. They make good (bad) movies.
