Carley and Blair go behind the scenes of the iconic 1997 James Cameron/Leonardo DiCaprio/Kate Winslet Best Picture-winning movie, Titanic. Nudity! Scenes filmed backwards! Clam chowder spiked with drugs! It has nothing to do with the mystery of the shipwreck but it's a very good movie.

(They also talk about Montreal, Canadian authors, Lion King sequels, criminal uncles, Aritzia, children's haunted eyes, celebrities they'd be friends with, and their cast for a 2023 Titanic remake.)

Next week: the finale

Come watch Titanic with us in Toronto on December 20th at Hot Docs, featuring an intro by Blair and Carley! https://hotdocs.ca/whats-on/films/titanic

Carley and Blair and guest Tim Blair (TallBoyz) talk about some of the major depictions of the Titanic disaster in pop culture - including a movie about the Titanic ending the cold war, the moderately cursed Titanic: The Musical, and wanting to see Titanique. (The James Cameron movie gets its own episode next week.) Plus: kid liars, more Lin Manuel-Miranda, the Thumb movie series, burst tendons in Georgia, fake Mexican aliens, John Wilkes Booth, teen Fringe festivals, Club Penguin, and dream Titanic media projects.

Check out Tim's project Sidetracked Show on YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram!

Behind the scenes fact: the air conditioning was broken while recording, so everyone is sweating and loopy. Blair cries again.

Carley and Blair celebrate our Lord and Savior, Robert D. Ballard, seemingly the only person racing to find the Titanic's wreck who wasn't just promoting his ping pong business or whatever. Plus: getting humbled, Enola Holmes, waiting for the invitation, Jack Grimm, certain Toronto mansions, teachers getting too method in history class, Paul Mescal, mispronouncing words, and the year is, famously, 2023.

We love you, Rachel Zegler.

"The energy... it's like we drank a bottle of wine before recording this."

Blair and Carley review some of the major Titanic conspiracies that have popped up in the last century (fake ships?! JP Morgan?! Mummies?! Different definitions of ice?!) but get very side-tracked on Anne with an E, cults, the royal family, Joe Biden and a chain, "edgy" comedians, hating Charles Dickens, strong chins, and more singing. If you've thought "I wish they wouldn't talk about the Titanic so much on this podcast," this the episode for you.

Not a joke, this took almost 5 hours to record. It felt unhinged. We had to stop and start several times.

Come on the podcast, Rachel Zegler.

Blair and Carley are joined by comedian Ben Sosa-Wright to dissect the immediate fallout of the disaster: a movie made within 31 days, government inquiries, and the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.
