Titanic (1997)

Description
We’re taking a little journey on a little boat named the Titanic, and joining us on this expedition is Walt Hickey! After hearing about Walt’s new book, You Are What You Watch, we talk about non-cars that matter to him (cinematic and otherwise) before reading some truly pathetic crazy credits (and being reminded about IMDb’s humble origins). Joey recounts the tale of PCP in this film production’s clam chowder, we all remember watching this movie on VHS, and we talk about how young is too young to watch Titanic. We discuss James Cameron’s ability to make you forget this is all taking place on a boat, the flair (or lack thereof) of the title card, and how good Kathy Bates is as the Unsinkable Molly Brown. Walt praises James Cameron for his subtle ability to state the movie’s theme and offers up a nice new definition of what makes a vehicle. We talk about “the Celine Dion of it all,” Cameron’s ability to articulate the geography of the Titanic, and the meaning / interpretation of the ending. We watch the shockingly terrible (!) trailer for Titanic. Email us: [email protected] Visit our Patreon page at patreon.com/2fast2forever.  Show your support at the 2 Fast 2 Forever shop!
