I'd like to share the final list of movies for the Disaster Film class I'll be teaching in the fall! #EMGTwitter
Before I do... some of you are going to be in a huff about certain movies not being included but I need y'all to be chill. (Some of you were not chill last time.)
I assure you have given this a lot of thought and this is what's best for this particular course and my particular students. This is set in stone so there's no negotiation that needs to happen.
