It's been 84 years... since we started talking about James Cameron in every damn episode of this podcast. And now we're finally doing one of his movies! And not just any movie... the third highest grossing movie of all time, worldwide; a technological FEAT that still holds up today -- apart from a few Simlish moments; and an epic, heart-wrenching love story that will never let us go.
