Nelson and Alexandra round out twenty three amazing guests on Titanic Talk with Van Ling - James Cameron's closest collaborators and Right Hand Man on many of his epic movies. Van Ling.

Van tells the story of how he first came to the notice of Gail Anne Hurd after building a Hallowe'en costume (an Aliens power lifter) on a bet and showing up at Lightstorm wearing it!

For students of film, he takes us through his journey from USC film school to VFX and directing, spelling out how his tenacity and focus got him his break in Hollywood. He even got Jim his first computer while they were working on The Abyss

He is also recognisable to Titanic fans as the Chinese man at the locked gates next to Jack and Rose and a deleted rescue scene where he depicts the (true) story of one of the six Chinese sailors to survive the sinking.
A fascinating insight into the world of VFX and James Cameron's and Van's own filmmaking process.

Jen has a fascination with perfume and specifically the history of perfume and is the perfumer behind Immortal Perfumes, a micro-perfumery specializing in historically inspired scents. Her creations have been featured in New York Magazine, The Los Angeles Times, and Seattle Met among others.

Jen researches and writes about historical figures and their fragrances for her popular TikTok channel. She also writes fiction and has been published in several anthologies.

Nelson and Alexandra had a wonderful and insightful conversation with Jen about the Perfumer Adolf Saalfeld, a German-born Jew, who boarded the Titanic with plans to sell his fragrances in New York City. In his rush to leave the ship as it sank, he left samples of his scents behind. In 2001, salvage experts recovered 62 perfume vials from the case, some of which still contained the original scent.

Lloyd's obsession with Titanic began with a library book, Robert Ballard's The Discovery of the Titanic. He borrowed it so many times, the librarian asked him to stop checking it out so that other children might enjoy reading it. 

Seeing James Cameron's Titanic at the age of ten sealed the deal. Lloyd has lived in the UK and been host of the early morning TV show in New Zealand he now reports for stuff. He's a dyed in the wool Titaniac.

Steven Ujifusa has a passion for oceanliners. The companies who build and ran them and the passengers who sailed on them - many immigrants coming to America to start a new life. I

n his book The Last Ships from Hamburg: Business, Rivalry, and the Race to Save Russia's Jews on the Eve of World War Steven explores the lives of the Jewish immigrants who fled Europe before war broke out.

The Wall Street Journal calls it "Absorbing . . . a David-and-Goliath tale of the industrial age."

In his book, Steven includes the stories of Jewish families on Titanic, having first learnt about the Ship of Dreams from his Jewish grandmother who told him about the bravery of the Straus's who didn't get into a lifeboat when given a chance. Ida would not leave the sinking ship because she couldn't imagine life without her husband, Isador, and they both perished.

Learn some fascinating news facts and more history of the ship Nelson and Alexandra love to talk about on Titanic Talk

Nelson and Alexandra also take a few minutes to remember Jon Landau - producer of Titanic and Avatar - who passed away last week.

Max Miller has a hugely popular  YouTube channel, TASTING HISTORY, that explores the history of food and the way we have prepared and eaten food over the centuries. He caught the attention of Titanic Talk hosts Nelson and Alexandra because he's done a whole series on the food and menus on on Titanic - and has more episodes to come.

We hear how he got started making food and researching food history and culture after watching the Great British Baking Show and being inspired by the backstory of the bakes in the early episodes. When the pandemic hit he turned his new passion into a very successful channel.
If you love food and history and wonder about the dishes served on Titanic this one is for you.

It can probably be said that no-one knows the story of Titanic like Don Lynch. He famously co-authored Titanic: An Illustrated History with renown Titanic artist Ken Marschall and as a result of that publication was asked to contribute to the making of James Cameron's Titanic. He even plays a small but memorable part (Frederic Spedden) in the film.

He's been down to the wreck twice with James Cameron and wrote the companion book to Ghosts of the Abyss. In the film he plays Thomas Andrews - wearing Victor Garber's costume that he wore in Titanic.

Nelson and Alexandra are so pleased to reveal some of Don's stories in this special episode of Titanic Talk.

Go to shipofdreamsfilm.com and subscribe to our newsletter and for ticket links and details of 2024 screenings in Canada (June 17th). UK, Australia and New Zealand to be announced very soon.

Alexandra will be at the Vancouver BC screening for a Q&A.

In this very special episode Nelson and Alexandra pull back the curtain and go behind the scenes of the Titanic Scene by Scene  podcast with superfan Brittany Butler and her co-host, film critic, Ethan Brehm.

Hear how the idea for the podcast came about and the meticulous details they dive into to bring to Titanic fans the most intricate breakdown of every moment of James Cameron's film.

We discuss favourite scenes, favourite films and everything to do with film fandom and why we love the movies so much. This was a real treat for Titanic Talk and will go down as one of our very favourite episodes, not least of all because Brittany, Ethan and Nelson are all featured in Alexandra's documentary Ship of Dreams: Titanic Movie Diaries which will release for everyone to watch this summer.

Titanic Scene by Scene is almost done. #sob Brittany and Ethan only have one more scene and the credits to go. For those of us hooked on the podcast we will shed a tear, but for those of your unfamiliar, you have the treat of being able to go back to the very beginning and listen to all forty episodes.

David Condon started collecting and selling pieces of the set from James Cameron's Titanic before the film had come out in cinemas. A lucky coincidence had him stumble upon a story about a stash of timber, decking and plasterwork that had been discarded erroneously in a Mexican field not far from the studio where Titanic was filmed. The locals had been invited to come and take what they needed. Many of the items were well made and too good to dump so they were repurposed in homes and business buildings. It was free building material.

There followed David's twenty five plus year Mexican scavenger hunt for Titanic memorabilia in the form of doors, railings, portholes and wooden paneling. Parts of a movie set that are usually taken to the dump to be trashed.
Nelson and Alexandra barely had enough time in this episode to hear all his wonderful stories of discovery. He's a Titaniac Detective in the most interesting ways.

Some of his items from the film can be viewed on his eBay shop TitanicDave4u
www.ebay.com/usr/titanicdave4u

To see some of the items he talks about watch his episode on the Titanic Talk YouTube channel.
