Episode 52 - Titanic (1/2)

It's our one-year anniversary! And, as promised, we're
celebrating this milestone by tearing apart one of the most
overrated movies of all time: James Cameron's "Titanic."


Now, we're covering the first half of this 3-hour epic in this
episode, and we'll tackle the second half of the movie next
week, so buckle up.


You all know the story: two star-crossed lovers overcome their
socioeconomic differences only to then experience one of the
worst maritime disasters of the 20th century. This cheeseball
mess somehow won 11 Oscars and not 11 Razzies. Go figure. 


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 celebrate Film Snuff's one-year anniversary in
style as we explore important topics, like whether or not Kathy
Bates has a Mr. Skin profile and if the Italian stereotype
character in this grew up to be a Mario Brother (he does get
smashed by a giant pipe later in the movie).
