At The Stern | Scene 34 Nov 16, 2023

Show notes

This is our last scene before the official "Death of Titanic." We're truly closing in on the end now as Jack and Rose make it to the stern of the ship, where they'll spend their final moments together on Titanic.

In this episode we read two listener emails, share nostalgic love for the movie, highlight some musical cues, analyze a couple of lines of dialogue (including another deleted one!), and more of course!

Shattered Dreams | Scene 33 Oct 31, 2023

Show notes

Some technical difficulties, a few scheduling conflicts and two sicknesses later... We bring you Scene 33!

In this episode we discuss the scene that truly kicks off the last 5 minutes (in-universe time) of Titanic's tragic sinking. We cover: Captain Smith's final scene, Fabrizo's death (and deleted/alternate death!!!), the flooding of the grand staircase, promotion of Titanic in the 90s, a dumb internet joke... and more!

Questions of Character | Scene 31 Aug 23, 2023

Show notes

In this episode we cover Cal's slimy but successful attempt at getting on a lifeboat, and Mr. Andrews' & Captain Smith's final moments... among other things!

Note: The "Approach To the New World" painting by Norman Wilkinson was actually in the first class smoking room on the Olympic! It was featured in A Night To Remember because there was no available print of "Plymouth Harbour" at the time. A full-size reproduction was eventually made, and this is the version we see in James Cameron's Titanic!

A bit of a short episode this week, but we hope it suffices! Our next one features another awesome guest! Excited to share it with you all.

Swept Away (with guest Eddie Green) | Scene 29 Jul 05, 2023

Show notes

In today's episode, we chat with James Cameron fan Eddie Green about his favorite scene in the movie! Jack and Rose are trapped below decks again, attempt to save a child, run from a massive wave and make it through a locked gate in the nick of time!

We hope you enjoy this episode that was 4 years in the making!
