Welcome to Steam Powered Movies! The movie podcast hosted by Dana & Mike Fraedrich where we watch steampunk movies and then talk about them. For this episode we watched the 1954 Disney classic film "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea". One of the first steampunk films seems like a good place to start, right? Dive in with us for a discussion on technology, aqua-culture, intense organ acting, and more! If you enjoy this podcast, please leave us a review! Also, follow us on Twitter @SteamPoweredPod for up-to-date news & release notifications.
