The Contrarians123

Three hours and fifteen minutes of disaster porn was enough to get you a bunch of Oscars back in The 90s, so Jimmy Cameron abandoned sci-fi and decided to make a profit off one of the most well-known tragedies in the world. Listen to Alex and Julio take TITANIC to task! Can anybody truly fall in love in two days? Wouldn’t we all had been better off with a movie that focused on Bill Paxton’s treasure hunter? And why did everyone give up so quickly on that damned boat?
