    The Carpathia | Scene 39

    The Carpathia | Scene 39

    Part one of our "two-part finale" is here! Can you believe it?! WE CAN'T!

    In this episode we talk all about the extended Carpathia sequence, lots of deleted dialogue, final payoffs, and peel back the layers of a couple key moments.

    We also feature four voicemails from listeners and want to say a huge thank you to them for sending them in! If you'd like your voice to be heard, you still have time to submit a voice recording for the final scene and our "end credits" episode! :)

    As always, thank you all so much for listening.

    I'll Never Let Go (with guest Alexandra Boyd) | Scene 38

    We reunite with Titanic cast member, first class woman Alexandra Boyd, to discuss such an imperative scene in the movie as Rose begins to live out her promise to Jack.

    Alexandra shares some behind the scenes tidbits with us, as well as some unique perspectives on the scene as a filmmaker herself! Big thanks to her for guesting again!

    The Promise (with guest Liz Osban) | Scene 37

    While waiting for help to arrive, Rose makes a promise to Jack that she will carry with her for the rest of her life. Later, Officer Lowe returns in lifeboat 14 to a very grim sight.

    For this scene we brought back our pal Liz Osban to discuss yet another massively important one!

    Sea of Humanity (The "Door" Debate) | Scene 36

    Sea of Humanity (The "Door" Debate) | Scene 36

    We've reached the scene that birthed possibly the most notorious "debate" in cinematic history. In our opinion, of course, there's not much of a debate here. Listen as we address (and squash) multiple arguments people have made over the last 26 years!

    We also read a listener email, go over a few historical beats and discuss some deleted scenes!

    Death of Titanic - Part 2 (w/ guest Pablo O'Hana) | Scene 35

    Here we go.

    We've brought on another special guest to discuss what many consider to be the main event here. Fellow Titanic obsessive Pablo O'Hana joins us for a breakdown of "Death of Titanic - Part 2." We had a great time chatting about such an impactful scene. In fact, this scene was the entry point of Pablo's Titanic origin story! He tells us all about that and provides such great commentary!

    Thanks for coming on the pod, Pablo!

    Death of Titanic - Part 1 (w/ guest Adam Stolfo) | Scene 35

    Death of Titanic - Part 1 (w/ guest Adam Stolfo) | Scene 35

    The first episode of the new year is here! Happy 2024! We hope you all had a lovely holiday season! And now... We begin the final stretch of new episodes.

    For this scene, we chat with Adam Stolfo. A fellow Titanic fan, lover of film, and podcaster among many other things. We discuss one of his favorite scenes, the first part of the death of Titanic. Some talking points include: interesting musical cues and sound design, character motivations, some great (and dodgy) CGI, and of course... the infamous Propeller Guy.

Amazing Detail

I cannot believe that I’ve only just found this (in March 2024), although in some ways I’m glad to meet it at this point with such an extensive back-catalogue of episodes!

I’ve already listened to a fair few episodes in the past week - it’s incredibly easy to listen to. Great chat, great guests, interesting anecdotes and a really thoughtful, well researched and loving take on the film.

Thank you both for all of your time and effort, this podcast really is quite a treasure.

I love this podcast

And I love Brittany’s impressions, you have a real ear for it. The Rose impression especially is perfect! Please don’t go back and take out them out, you can never please everyone but this podcast the success it is because of your genuine love for the movie and the impressions are a part of that.

I was so happy when the podcast came back and I’m very glad to hear you intend on keeping it going after you’ve finished going through all the scenes. Long may you continue!

Loving the podcast so far!

Hands down, this is the greatest scene by scene podcast dedicated to the James Cameron masterpiece Titanic. I've seen the movie 689 times and I absolutely LOVE it, I actually recognise Brittany from her BRILLIANT defence of the movie on YouTube, the way you guys delve into the movie, the themes, the history and the characters blows my mind ! Keep up the good work and make each scene count !
