Episode 53 - Titanic (2/2)

In Part 2 of our discussion about Canadian madman James Cameron's
1997 blockbuster film "Titanic," we go through the second half of
the movie, which essentially feels like a different picture than
its first half.


Where that half was a fruity love story, this part is more of an
action film. This is clearly where most of the budget was spent
in all of its freezing, flailing, falling and frantic
frenzy. 


Leonardo DiCaprio plays Jack Dawson, a penniless orphan vagabond
who enjoys gambling, drawing nudie pics and ridiculing one-legged
prostitutes.


Kate Winslet plays Rose DeWitt Bukater, a suicidal Philadelphia
socialite who believes that being an unhappy rich girl is
equivalent to being a slave.


Billy Zane plays Caledon Nathan Hockley, a violent and possessive
rich guy with no taste in art who travels with a homicidal
sidekick.


Bill Paxton plays Brock Lovett, an earring-clad deep sea explorer
who gleefully scours the remains of a horrible catastrophe
looking for treasure. 


Join us as we question topics like hypothermia, the whole
could-they-both-fit-on-the-door nonsense, Old Rose's monstrous
behavior, the cheesy alternative ending, and also: What we would
do if we were on the ship while it was going down.
