*Subtitles
For fun and suggested by the cast of the Shock Waves Podcast is the movie Ashfall at the CGV Cinemas. With a plot as dumb as something the Rock would be in, minus The Rock. We've seen some wondrous so bad, they're good films at CGV in Koreatown and this one is another great mess.
Synopsis: Stagnant since 1903, at an elevation of 9000', a volcano erupts on the mythical and majestic Baekdu Mountain.
