'Titanic': Part 1

iHeartPodcasts
About this episode

Jordan and Alex present their first TMI trilogy exploring the making of James Cameron's disaster epic. Part one covers the extensive pre-production that saw Cameron spend a month on the bottom of the ocean filming the wreck of the REAL Titanic, work overtime to convince Leonardo DiCaprio to sign on, and convince 20th Century Fox to shell out over $100 million on a movie that didn't even have a script. You'll hear about the real life figures who inspired Jack and Rose, the romantic subplot that wound up on the cutting room floor, the crazy lengths Kate Winslet went to secure her role — and the time a disgruntled caterer spiked the chowder at the on-set lunch table with PCP, resulting in Cameron and half the crew getting high as hell and hallucinating.
