Awesome! I have a lot of nostalgia for Twister. I'll definitely rewatch it before the new one comes out.

Great video, I was not expecting to be up this late seeing a brand new Jan de Bont interview

[@kthx1138]

I heard Bill Paxton say he had in mind a more macabre version of "cow" in which the cow is so affected by the barometric pressure of the storm that it blows up, raining guts down on the windshield of the truck!

The Keanu Sandra interview they asked him about was from the 50 MPH Podcast, a 50 episode oral history of Speed. It wrapped a few weeks ago and is a must listen for fans of Speed.

Twister is an absolute classic

You don’t think it’s possible they got both? I mean they basically get every popular film
