Titanic: Part 2

iHeartPodcasts
About this episode

Wanna go to a real party? Jordan and Alex continue their trilogy diving deep (ha!) into the making of James Cameron’s epic. This episode explores how he built a 775-foot sinkable replica of the ship — the largest film set in the world — and the insane lengths he went to get it exactly as the original. Focusing on the first VHS of the original film’s release, the TMI guys will discuss the iconic lines that were improvised, the adorable awkwardness of the “Draw me like one of your French girls” scene, the mind-breaking camera tricks required to film the ship’s departure — and the finer points of turn-of-the century car sex.
