DTVC Podcast 88, "Precious Cargo and the Willis Paradox"
18/11/2021In this episode I'm joined by Sean Malloy of "I Must Break This Podcast" as we discuss the 2016 film Precious Cargo.

It's not an easy task, and I'm not sure if we made it happen over the course of 80 minutes in either case, but it was a fun conversation anyway.
