They also dig into the internal conflict of Rose’s aristocratic life, the portrayal of the steerage class’ “poor-people party,” and whether or not there was actually room for Jack on that fateful door frame. A rough transcript of the episode is available here.For next week’s movie, MVC will be watching the 2017 drama First Reformed.Links mentioned:John LaRoche: Titanic's Only Black Passenger (Kelly Carter Jackson, 2020)Cocktails and CapitalismFood Not BombsStop Cop CityTo access MVC PREMIUM EPISODES or LEAVE US A TIP click here.
