3:09
When you talk about the nineties, very few people are gonna not bring up
3:14
Titanic like that's that's a staple of the nineties. It grossed two point two
3:19
six four million dollars billion dollars on in in money, and to put that
3:24
into perspective, Babies Day Out gross thirty million. It wasn't the same year,
3:32

4:19
what inspired you to collect them? Was it like did you see somebody was
4:24
collecting VHS's of like a Bronx tale or like what what was your inspiration?
4:32
I mean James Cameron, James Cameron, what can I say about the master
4:36
himself? He is just such an amazing director. And once I saw Titanic
4:41
on VHS, I knew I had to get as many copies as possible.
4:45
Once DVDs came out, you saw a lot of these in the thrift stores.
4:47
So I'm a big thrifter myself, and I saw a bunch of these
4:50
pretty cheap, and I said, hey, someone's got collect these all.
4:54
And we are right here, right now on the mission. You know what
4:57
I'm talking about, trying to get a million copies of my face favorite movie
5:00
of all time TMB Titanic on VHS? How many times do you watch it?
5:05
A week? Three day? I'm actually watching it right now it's behind
5:12
behind my phone. But yes, I am watching Titanic as we speak because
5:15
I love this movie so much of James Camry. This is like so easy.
5:20
Are you on Cameo? Oh yeah? Oh nice? Yeah, that's
5:26
awesome. Like I'll be doing that daily. If do you wish that it
5:30
didn't end the way it did? Just find Jack Dawson makes it to America.
5:35
He lives in my house and we watch Titanic every day. I hate
5:39
I don't want to put him on the spot, But is Jack Dawson there
5:42
with you right now? He's right here. I'll go get him. Okay,
5:46
thank you so much? Like he is my literally my favorite celebrity,
5:51
like he probably he just dethroned Miss Juicy. Oh my god, yes Jack
6:00
the year. I love it so much. Thank you. I'm gonna I'm
6:06
gonna remember this for the rest of my life. I have so many things
6:10
to say because I didn't know he was going to be on the podcast tonight.
6:13
But so him and Rose Stick stay together and get married or is she
6:17
not living with you? Guys? Jack Sawson was on Titanic and he lives
6:21
in my house now. He was so cool in Titanic on VHS. WHOA
6:29
and you go to comic cons both of you. Oh, yes, we
6:32
go to conventions. Anytime we see one. We will fly across America if
6:36
we have to. We just went to Titanic Con in Vegas a few months
6:40
ago, and it's coming here into Orlando soon. You know what I'm talking
6:45
about. Oh, yes, Titanic Kern. That's awesome. I don't know
6:49
they had Titanic cons. I've been to like a Star Trek con before,
6:51
but next time I like a Titanic is within four hours. I'm gonna go
6:56
for sure. That's incredible. I have an important question, just ask you
7:00
j. I guess Jack can answer it too. Do you in your life
7:04
do you feel a sense of time, Like, oh, I could watch
7:08
titan It takes me as long to watch Titanic as it does for me to
7:11
get to like me Mo's house. Well, I have multiple VCRs, so
7:17
I pop in cassette number one here, cassette number two here, maybe a
7:21
little further into cassette number one here, and a little further into cassette too
7:25
over here, So I can watch Titanic all at the same time, all
7:28
at once, and I can just pretty much watch it pretty instantly you know
7:31
what I'm talking about. It's Titanic. I mean, do you watch it
7:35
on DVD? Oh? Yeah, I used to wow DVD, but you
7:44
know, VHS is really where our heart is. I used to take very
7:47
very cold showers when I was a kid because of this movie. Oh,
7:51
because I wanted to see, like can I do it? I didn't know
7:55
that, like the cold temperature my shower is not the same as the Titanic
7:59
waters. Have you ever seen the movie the Titanic movie that has Nev Campbell
8:07
in it, and it's called Blood and Steel? Blood and Steel? No,
8:11
I have not seen that one. Do you believe that it's is it
8:16
kind of like when X Men was owned by Fox and now they're re releasing
8:20
it on Marvel, Like you will you watch it if you had to?
8:24
I believe James Cameron is the sole provider of any Titanic experience on the big
8:30
screen. So if it's not James Cameron, take a hike, buddy.
8:33
You know what I'm talking about. I love it so much, like like
8:39
I love everything about it. So I was gonna say fun fact about Titanic.
8:43
The only the one the nineteen ninety seven was it seven? Cool?
8:50
The actors did the costumes and pretended that they were there. Yeah, in
8:58
the movie. And I think that everybody showed up for this movie. Oh,
9:03
like, I think everyone showed up, especially the extras. Like it's
9:07
hard to like die on screen, Like, I don't know because I haven't
9:09
done that, but I can imagine it could be intense. And they do
9:15
a really nice job dying. I don't know what kind of research they did.
9:20
They probably died. They probably before we get into the movie. Should
9:26
we do a quick lightning round? Yeah, if that's okay with you?
9:30
Chief the question, So, Jack, who was your favorite spice girl?
9:39
You say Titanic? Oh, James Cameron, I like that. Would you
9:46
rather eat yogurt or pudding? Titanic? Gun dhad? And finally, do
9:56
you think that Jack Dawson should have been on the board at the end or
10:01
no? Say this for right now. For the record, he made it
10:07
to America. My man had to swim away because there was a mean lady
10:13
on Titanic, and the only way my man can get to America was just
10:16
you know, dive underneath, pretend to nap. Now he's here in America
10:20
living the best life of all time, watching Titanic on VHS every single day
10:24
of our life. That's awesome. And last, little get to know you
10:31
a question you do voice acting man? Would you play Jack Dawson in an
10:41
animated version of Titanic any day? You know what I'm talking about, James
10:46
Camery and call me buddy. I love it so much. Thank you allie.
10:52
What was your memory of Titanic To get our listener up to speed,
10:58
Yeah, I mean I never saw it in nineteen ninety seven. Uh.
11:01
Actually this week was the first time I've ever seen Titanic. That's crazy.
11:05
Uh. And then but I definitely remember it being out and you know,
11:11
Celine Dion Heart will go On? I remember growing up here in Portland we
11:16
had Z one hundred The Morning Zoo and they had their version of my part,
11:22
will go On and they used that scene where they're spinning, which is
11:28
all hold on, like let me do it, So that was pretty fun.
11:33
Yeah, Riyah, What was your first thing about this subject? So
11:39
my aunt owned the VHS, so I am quite familiar with that, but
11:46
I don't think I so. I think I was allowed to like watch most
11:50
of it, but obviously, being growing up the way I did, like,
11:54
I was not allowed to watch the very mild like nudity scene, and
12:01
I think we fast forwarded through the non existent sex scene. So yeah,
12:07
and then, GD, if you had to pitch this movie to somebody who's
12:13
never seen it, how would you do it? Do you think? Not
12:15
to put you on the spot, but I'm just curious, what would you
12:18
say? I would say, do you love James Cameron, I love Jack
12:22
Dawson, Bill Paxton, Selene beyond Captain Smith. Well, I got the
12:26
movie for you. It's called Titanic on DHS and it's so cool. That's
12:33
awesome. So for my So this movie came out in December of nineteen ninety
12:37
seven, and my birthday is in January. So actually I saw this movie
12:41
in theaters by myself for my birthday because my mom and my sister didn't want
12:46
to see it. My dad was in the army at the time. And
12:48
it was great. I loved it. I loved that movie, and I
12:52
was really into The Titanic before even seeing it, so's that's why I wanted
12:56
to see it. And it was just a really cool experience. And I
12:58
remember that's probably the first like blockbuster, even though it wasn't during the summer
13:03
that was like the first Blockbuster film that I saw that like wowed me,
13:07
like the ship, just the see the water everything. I remember thinking like,
13:11
oh my gosh, this is incredible, Like it felt like you're almost
13:15
there, you know, for nineteen ninety seven especially, uh. And then
13:18
I have actually touched the Titanic. Yeah, because in Las Vegas they have
13:24
the Titanic exhibit. How did you touch it if it's underwater? Well,
13:28
they brought up a huge piece uh and it's in the Las Vegas Titanic Exhibit.
13:33
Uh, And I touched it. So you know, that's pretty cool.
13:35
I've actually actually touched the Titanic. Message seems the big piece, the
13:39
huge p Yeah, exactly. Yeah, it was a lot of fun.
13:41
You know. They told me not to touch it, but I'd be touching
13:45
stuff. Did the Titanic in your timeline? Does the Titanic sink Titanic?
13:52
There's a lot of conspiracies out there. It really happened, was Jacks and
14:00
he jumped off and he swam to America. So that's the story I kind
14:03
of follow. And my man, he's quite the swimmer. I love it
14:09
so much. What are Jack Dawson's favorite movies or hobbies. He's really good
14:16
at basketball. Have you ever seen basketball Diaries? Yeah, he's really good
14:20
at basketball. Does Jack Dawson watch Titanic on VHS? Yeah, we're watching
14:26
it right now. That's awesome. We watch it every day. He probably
14:31
gives you behind the scenes gossip. My man's full of knowledge and he's so
14:37
cool. I love it. So, yeah, let's just see where this
14:43
goes. And we're thinking maybe we could start with the story and the plot.
14:50
Yeah, how does everybody feel it? Because anybody listening to this right
14:52
now, especially being a nineties podcast, other than Ali, I think everybody
14:58
has seen this movie prior to this week. So instead of doing like a
15:01
play by play, you know, we thought maybe we would break it down
15:03
into sections. So we're thinking section one could be story plot, Section two
15:07
could be cast characters, Section three could be the effects, music, the
15:11
score, and then four maybe we'll just end with our additional final thoughts.
15:16
Do you think that everybody knows what this movie's about? Yes, And that's
15:22
why I think it's such a good story and plot because I think for them
15:24
to make everybody knows that the Titanic, supposedly, you know, is gonna
15:30
sink at the end right. So for them to create two characters that we
15:33
end up caring about, it's wonderful because that's the reason the movie is so
15:37
great is because we didn't know how it's gonna end in a way. But
15:39
now we're really focused on these two characters and the story of you know,
15:45
like a rich woman that's like getting trapped opposed to like a poor poor dude
15:48
who's like a free soul. Like it's such a good juxtaposition of characters.
15:52
It's such a good movie. I love this story. I love this plot.
15:56
Fucking great. I agree you to think of it. Ali Slasharia Alie's
16:03
like, I have nothing to say about this movie, and I'm like ten
16:08
out of ten per no notes. I think it's great. I think this
16:11
story is pretty good. I will say there are a couple like a little
16:17
bit. I can't tell if like James Cameron is trying to be satirical and
16:22
kind of be on the nose about how how much privilege in class there was.
16:30
I mean, I assume he is. I assume he's making a point,
16:33
but I think overall it was it was good. I don't know if
16:37
I would I don't know if I would do the same story. I think.
16:41
So there's there was a made for TV movie that came out a year
16:45
before, and it kind of had the same like love story plotline. I
16:52
feel like every Titanic movie has this same sort of like plot line of starcross
16:56
lovers, like it'd be it'd be cool if it was like a horror movie.
17:03
I feel like Blood and Steel is probably a horror movie, I hope
17:04
so oh, and it hasn't have Campbell. But what shocked me and like
17:10
life, was they came out with Titanic movies like a year or two after
17:15
the Titanic allegedly sank. Oh. Yeah, I think back then that was
17:22
a way to get kind of news out and so there was more like not
17:26
like a news bulletin, but it was like a movie. But that's how
17:29
they communicate because a lot of people got like updates on Wars by going to
17:32
the movies. Anyways. But yeah, the whole story with Jack and Dawson,
17:37
she was pretty much like a morpharratic dream from a magazine. Yeah,
17:45
I don't know, I have no idea what that means. You looked,
17:48
but I am so sorry, I have no idea. So, GDI,
17:51
what do you think of the story and the plot. The story and the
17:53
plot, all right, So what you said is everyone knows about Titanic.
17:59
You don't need it just description. And that's exactly what James Cameron thought on
18:03
Titanic on VHSC the back. There's actually no description of the movie at all
18:07
besides the eleven Academy Awards, including Best Picture. That's all you needed to
18:11
know is it had Best Picture, baby, and it did. Oh my
18:18
gosh. I just want to make sure you're doing okay though on this podcast
18:22
so far right, like you're having fun Titanic okay, No, I agree,
18:29
And then if they throw in a little bit of uh, like a
18:33
body like Jennifer, I'm just sorry. Uh No, I love this movie.
18:38
They won awards and stuff, but yeah, no, I've had a
18:41
lot of flaws in it, Like I I don't and I know I should
18:45
understand. I don't understand the women and children first thing. And I get
18:49
like we're supposed to be like protective of our women and kids or whatever,
18:53
but like no, like that's not my fault. Like I got to the
18:57
boat before you. I don't know, Like I don't know. Earlier you
19:02
said women couldn't vote back then, so I did say that I don't think
19:07
they could vote back then, So then you you're you're afraid that it's just
19:11
gonna be like a lawless country with no voting, no voting, But I
19:15
don't know. But anyways, that's so off the track, Andy, No,
19:19
I'm pro women in pro tea. I'm obviously pro Titanic on VHS always.
19:23
I think that's how you have to watch it is on VHS. So
19:27
do you you have you have multiple VHS players, like eight VHS players,
19:36
and they're all playing Titanic on VHS. Is everybody that you live with into
19:41
Titanic on VHS as much as you have to be? Like I wonder you
19:47
imagine? Yeah, I'm wondering because it would be like a like a family
19:51
of superpowers if all of them have a passion. I think that's really cool
19:55
that you guys could be like the Kardashians of Titanic on VHS. And I
19:59
love that. What do you what? We're gonna change the subject to,
20:03
Uh, well, if does anybody else have anything about the story or the
20:07
plot, because I do, Like I said before, I loved actually,
20:10
I really enjoyed that the I didn't really think about how it's like a Romeo
20:14
and Juliet because they don't end up at the end, and that's well,
20:17
they don't end up at the end, and that's why it's You just feel
20:19
for it so bad and you keep thinking about it and then you're sad.
20:22
Then you need to see it again because it's so beautiful. But I don't
20:25
know, it's just great. I love this fucking movie that they could have
20:27
been together, right, I don't. No, I don't think so belongs
20:33
with me exactly. Oh, I love that Jack Dawson so great? And
20:41
do you name animals after Jack Dawson. Yeah, we have two Jack Dowgson's.
20:49
Do you appreciate Does Jack Dawson live in the same universe as Leonardo DiCaprio.
21:00
Okay, that's cool. I just wanted to make sure, like,
21:03
I know how you feel about Growing Pains. You know the movie of Growing
21:07
Pains or show Growing Pains. It's not Titanic. No, that has a
21:14
very young Jack Dawson. That was like maybe his first gig when he got
21:17
to America, and then oh he got to America, got with JD and
21:22
went to go on Growing Pains. I like that. Yeah, No,
21:26
I think that's good on story. Yeah, who's your favorite character? JD
21:33
from Titanic Jack Dawson, my man. But there's also Molly Brown who shined
21:38
him like shine them up like a new Penny. We got Captain Smith,
21:42
we got Bill Paxton, you know what I'm talking about. It's so beautiful.
21:47
And of course Selene Dion when she enters the mix. I love that
21:49
scene so much, Selene. I love this the character characters in the cast.
21:59
I don't know if they could have done anybody better, especially at that
22:02
time, because, like I said, a little bit Ago Leo up and
22:04
coming gorgeous of course, like fucking beautiful. I love Rose. I think
22:10
she is great, beautiful, those two. I think their chemistry on stage
22:14
or on that stage, on the screen together is undeniable. I think those
22:18
two are so good together. And I think it was great casting everybody,
22:22
Billy Zane being kind of like a pos you know, wonderful graageous too,
22:27
Yeah, exactly, Yeah, I mean everybody was great. But this is
22:33
where I kind of wanted to get into the wardrobe a little bit. Yeah,
22:37
James Cameron did amazing research for this movie, and I think having somebody
22:42
that did such good, you know, wardrobe research would help the people feel
22:48
like they actually are in that time era. So when Rose, when you
22:52
first see Rose, when she's getting out of that vehicle, what she's wearing.
22:55
There is a magazine from Paris from nineteen twelve and is she got released
23:00
in January of nineteen twelve, and it's almost identical to what Rose is wearing.
23:06
It's incredible. So the wardrobe itself, I think should be a character
23:10
within itself, including Titanic. I think the Titanic is a character within the
23:14
movie because it showed how beautiful it was, the sadness of when it was
23:18
sinking. It's just the Yeah, I don't think we can talk about characters
23:22
without talking about the wardrobe because it's perfect. And the Titanic itself, No,
23:27
I agree about the wardrobe. Well, even just little things like before
23:33
the dinner party, they're all wearing like all the women wearing long elbow gloves,
23:37
but then while they're actually eating, the gloves are off because that's what
23:40
they did at that time. So just those little details where you don't realize
23:44
how perfect it is makes the movie. It just brings you in the movie.
23:48
It's just so fucking good. What did you think of JD of the
23:52
wardrobe of the movie Titanic on VHS. Jack Dawson and no suspenders. You
23:56
gotta be kidding me. But when he takes those boots off, my goodness,
24:02
it's one boot off, two boot off, and he goes, I'm
24:06
Jack Dawson and I'm so cool, and he was Jack Dawson and he was
24:10
so cool. Oh, I love the way he looked at that movie.
24:14
I've actually seen that with the suspender suit, because a few months ago I
24:18
went to the Leonardo da Vinci exhibit in Portland, and then I made a
24:22
joke on the way. I'm like, that'd be funny if I accidentally went
24:26
to the Leonardo DiCaprio exhibit. They had a James Cameron exhibit going on at
24:30
the same time they had the da Vinci exhibit, so I got to see
24:33
all their real clothes and I was like, oh, my gosh, I
24:36
didn't realize Jack Dawson's quite a bit shorter than I am. They actually had
24:40
a Jack Dawson exhibit. Well, they had a James Cameron exhibit which and
24:42
they talked a lot about Titanic, and they had Roses dress, they had
24:47
Jack Dawson's clothes. They had pieces from the Titanic there. It's really it
24:49
was really cool. But wait, so it was a James Cameron exhibit.
24:53
H but not just a Titanic movie exhibit because it seems like the same thing.
24:59
No, it's about how he went down, you know. Uh,
25:02
to see the title, it's about Titanic and other things that James Carmen.
25:06
James Cameron, he did Terminator and stuff. Oh okay, so they talked
25:10
about Terminator a little bit. It was mainly I just don't get it,
25:14
like, be about Titanic, not about the Terminator. Fucking amaze. Terminator
25:19
two. Terminator two the best, one of the best movies of all time,
25:23
but also definitely the best sequel of all time. Okay, I heard
25:27
Terminator two was good. But imagine if they put Jack Dawson in as Arnold.
25:32
Would you be Oh, you would love that. I love that for
25:37
you. James Cameron. Okay, classic John Connor, Jack Dawson, Jake
25:45
solely James Cameron. What's going on right now? Yeah? I love that.
25:49
Yeah, James Cameron. He I he made movies. Uh, Ellie,
25:57
yeah, Uh, what do you have to say about that about James
26:03
Cameron made movies. I think the cast, yeah, yeah, oh yeah,
26:07
trying to stand on point there, I guess I was disappointed. I
26:12
think the casting is good. I was disappointing the character development. I just
26:18
for how long this movie is. I don't think they did, like really
26:21
any character development or making me care about these characters. Jack Oh, I
26:29
liked Jack Dawson. Okay, I would never send him in your presence.
26:38
What do you have to say? What's that, Jeff? Say something to
26:44
Jack Dawson, like I apologize to Jack Dawson, Ali said, Alie likes
26:48
Jack Dawson, Just make it, but like not talking to him directly?
26:52
Is he went from sleeping under a bridge having dinner with those fine folks on
26:59
first class dinner. That's quite the development, I get. Yeah, and
27:04
just like so free, I really felt like there was not a lot of
27:08
character development on like anybody, like you have Kathy Bates in this film and
27:12
she's barely used. You know that their backgrounds are too simple and like it's
27:18
not like something you haven't seen before in films, And so their backgrounds were
27:22
the ocean, though there's not much has changed. I'm with you, Uh
27:26
it was just water. I didn't really care about any of these characters,
27:30
because I don't feel like they did anything to like really make me care.
27:33
If you're gonna if you're gonna break up with somebody, don't break up with
27:37
them in the car, like for Rose in this timeline. In this reality,
27:44
like Rose decided to break up with her fiance on a cruise ship.
27:48
She can't get away, Like that's the timing, lady, timing. That
27:53
wasn't cool. She should have stayed with him, got married, got got
27:56
some pop some babies out, took a lot of his money, slowly give
28:00
him some like I don't know, some kind of opoid that he passes away,
28:04
take the money, and then go live like a baller for like six
28:07
months with Jack Dawson. But I understand. But in the real world,
28:11
Jack Dawson is living with jd in a Titanic room. I don't think JD's
28:18
Yeah, does Jack Dawson leave the Titanic room during the day or just for
28:23
events? Mostly just for events, But yeah, my man holds it down
28:29
because someone's gonna watch all this Titanic on DHS. The only thing I had
28:33
to say, like with Rose especially, I was just really taken away from
28:37
caring about her because she just she's gonna kill herself because she doesn't like her
28:41
like her fiance. Like that's I was just like, it felt really like
28:45
kind of childish and just like grow up. Well, she's seventeen in this
28:48
movie. Well she looks mid twenty. That's because she developed differently. He
28:53
was like two when she filmed this, But she's supposed to be playing a
28:57
seventeen year old. They make that clear in the very beginning. That is
29:02
a really important scene though, too. And I think that's maybe why she
29:03
fell in love with Jack Dawston, because when he goes you can jump in
29:07
if you want, but I'm gonna have to jump in with you. That
29:10
might have been the first time she was actually able to make her own decision
29:12
on something with her mom being sete. That's so true, Andy, I'll
29:15
just cut you off to tell you. But also when I was watching,
29:18
I was thinking, like the things he's saying to her, he doesn't know
29:22
her mindset right now. That could have jumped because he was kind of like
29:27
like like you know, spitting around. Yeah, that's true. So and
29:32
then I have to say work ethic of I don't know what topic we're on
29:36
right now, but work ethic, the butler guy or the handyman. To
29:41
Billy Zane, he is his job, but he knows that he's going down
29:45
in the Titanic, and he does not he's willing to kill. Well,
29:48
I guess me and Rio would kill for Billy Zane? Am I right?
29:52
Real whistle? Yes, he is gorgeous. I wish that he wasn't bad.
29:56
Yeah, No, that's one thing with the character. I'm not at
29:59
like just because Billy's a and I felt like it was pretty good, uh
30:03
bad guy alone. I don't know if they really needed a henchman, but
30:06
I do think a good bad guy Bully always needs to have a henchman.
30:08
But it just seemed like an extra character, just to have an extra character.
30:11
If you're gonna make Billies ain't bad, just make him like full bad.
30:15
I guess I don't know, but you know, Fan was handsome for
30:18
an older gentleman, I think, wasn't he? And teenage meeting Na Turtles
30:22
too? Is that the same person? I'm thinking? I don't remember because
30:25
the main copy he knows how many different vhs is do you have that aren't
30:30
Titanic? That aren't Titanic? By James Cameron yeah, do you have I
30:37
have turtles, like real turtles or movies. Okay, you don't have any
30:45
turtles or lizards or anything. Jack Dogson's and Jack Dawson. I love it
30:53
so much. Okay, yeah, Ria say something I don't know. I
31:03
wasn't. Uh, it's interesting because so I made. I don't remember what
31:07
year it was, like twenty ten. Whenever they re released this in the
31:12
theaters. I saw it. I took my friend and I maybe him watch
31:18
it, and he hates me forever for that. But like I think,
31:22
the more I watch it, the more I like. The less I like
31:26
these characters. Like I, I don't know, I feel like there's nothing
31:34
too like about Rose, Like she's kind of a selfish brat, and I
31:40
don't think she I don't know. She just doesn't show any like character growth
31:47
for me, and like believe, I don't believe that she's reformed or that
31:51
she's like a better person. I mean, she lets him die on like
31:53
she could have made room on that board, so she didn't change at all.
31:56
And then when she dies, she's just surrounded by pictures of herself that,
32:05
you know, like she's just like in her room, around her bed
32:07
are just pictures of her. Wait, you forgot that. At one point
32:10
Rose takes off her shoes. So that's character growth right there. But like
32:19
and it's also it's she's also a really shitty person because like that diamond was
32:23
worth more than any that she your kids or yeah, give it to your
32:28
kids. Yeah yeah, auction it off for charity, do something with it.
32:32
But then in the end she's just like you give that scene where she's
32:39
like giggling and like what is this? Yeah, I hated that scene a
32:44
lot. She might have had like a mental illness or something, but I
32:49
don't know she I don't know what I was gonna say, but I just
32:53
think it was it was great. I did like the dynamic between Bill Paxton
33:00
and his and the other guy, the the guy on the boat. Yeah,
33:07
I wrote down, I'm like, this is exactly him and Philip symour
33:15
Hoffman and Twister, like even to the thing, even to the same where
33:17
he's like you're the best, who's the best, And I'm like, that's
33:21
so that was like lifted from Twister. Although Bill Paxson's hair in this look
33:25
whatever they did for him in this it's terrible. Yeah, that was so
33:32
so in your in the In the real life, Jack Dawson exists in the
33:37
same world that James Cameron exists. So I forget what I was gonna say,
33:45
But they're both so cool. They are so like, does what's James
33:51
camp Like? What does Jack appreciate about James Cameron? Do you think?
33:54
I mean, it's the big j c You know what I'm talking about,
33:58
the big James Cameron. He made Titanic on VHS the greatest movie of all
34:02
time. Without James Cameron, there is no Jack Dawson. Without Jack Dawson,
34:06
there is no me, you know what I mean. It's it's very
34:09
complicated, that is titic that's so fun, Like it's so bizarre, like
34:14
awesome and beautiful how the world is in the universes, Like if the Titanic
34:19
didn't happen, James Cameron wouldn't have made Titanic and we wouldn't have been talking
34:24
about Titanic on our podcast with the Titanic fan that has so many vhs is
34:31
how many do you have again? Twenty seven eighty eight copies under the belt.
34:37
So what would we be doing right now? Like this this is where
34:40
life has brought us. All five of us would probably be doing a Terminator
34:46
to podcast. Now, my sister was so obsessed with this movie because she
34:51
was like a Leonardo DiCaprio Jack Dawson fan, and but she was more into
34:55
Battery Boys whatever. But I like my sister. I shared this you before.
35:00
But my sister recently moved to Ohio, so wait for me to stay
35:05
connected to her. Is she has a Kroger out there, so I'm assuming
35:07
she goes to Kroger. I use her points for fuel nice and I send
35:14
her child like children's books that are like suggestive about like you know, Polly's
35:19
Beaver needs a haircut, like those kind of ones. And then finally the
35:22
recent when I started doing and this is me telling her because she listens,
35:28
is I've been giving out her information to religious organizations. And she's an atheist
35:36
and she has like she's very like against people like soliciting at her house.
35:40
So I've been giving religious organizations her information, not like her social Security number,
35:45
but like yeah, yeah, so I hope Jesse's enjoying that. I
35:50
feel bad for like the missionaries or whatever that come out to her house because
35:52
she's she's a nightmare with that. But but yeah, hey Jesse, jad,
35:57
can you say ahead to my sister. She's a fan of you.
36:00
And the Titanic on VHS. Hey, Titanic on BHS. I hope you're
36:06
watching it on VHS the way James Cameron intended it. I know, I
36:09
am so. Another point of another great part of this movie, especially for
36:15
nineteen ninety seven, I think, was the effects, the music and the
36:17
score. It's wonderful. How does everybody feel about those? Does the do
36:22
the effects still hold up in twenty twenty four? JD What do you think?
36:28
James Cameron is a master at the craft? You know what it is,
36:31
my man? I mean, it still looks good, especially on VHS
36:35
to the day. You know what I'm talking about, James. Yes,
36:39
when I watched this now, it still looks pretty good. You can tell
36:43
it's kind of dated, but I don't. It doesn't take me out of
36:45
the movie like some movies from the nineties. I would say it looks vintage.
36:50
Oh, there we go, vintage. My spouse, Jeremy, what's
36:53
up? He thought that Rose at the end was the real life Rose when
37:00
he was a kid. Oh I see yeah? And I was like,
37:05
nah, bro. But James Cameron is married to the one that had sexual
37:08
tension with Bill Paxton. That's his real life wife. Did not know that,
37:12
yeah, his first wife or second wife, probably because he's in Hollywood,
37:15
but it was Linda Hamilton. Really yeah, weird. Ali Ria,
37:20
how do you feel about effects music or Gore? I don't know. I
37:28
I think it does definitely looks dated, Like when the people are like falling
37:32
off the boat, I'm just like, oh, come on, now,
37:35
do you want to They kind of look like gingerbread men to me, I
37:42
agree with I'm sorry, I agree with Riha. I wish it would have
37:46
been gorier. Agreed, like I didn't see any guts, blood whatever,
37:52
Like I agree, I mean drowning. How much blood and guts is there
37:57
going to be? Well? Have you impaled yourself on the propeller? That's
38:00
true? Yeah, yeah, a whole script. I think that, Like
38:09
I personally, I love the score, like that is one of the best
38:14
scores like ever James Horner. Yes, yes, yes, I had like
38:20
the music book for how to play it on the piano and like I played
38:22
the ship out of that and I love the Irish jigs. I love all
38:27
the Irish music that's featured in the movie. So yeah, I think I
38:32
think the effects are dated, but I think it's not. It doesn't detract,
38:37
like I don't feel like it's so bad that it's like pixelated, like
38:40
I can't not watch it. It's just that it does look dated, but
38:45
I mean it is dated. I'm glad they went with like primarily a score
38:52
throughout, and I think that there was like debate and if they would actually
38:55
feature any songs that did have words so then so then like that My Heart
39:00
Will Go On was kind of like a last like a last minute, last
39:02
minute add on to the thing, which proved to be successful. Great.
39:07
It's one of the most beautiful songs. I think all that song has one
39:09
more Grammys and Lana del Ray oh yeah. I don't know if I think
39:14
that song is so beautiful because of the movie or if it's just a great
39:16
song. But I can't, you know, think of that song without the
39:19
movie. Of course. Celine Dion's amazing. Are you a fan of slindon
39:22
JD Oh? Yes, I have a signature by Celine Dion on my wall
39:28
right now. I love me some CD on CD Selene be on CV.
39:32
That's awesome. That's okay, really quick? Can I plug your like?
39:37
If listeners want to send you copies of Titanic on DVD you advertise on VHS?
39:45
Yeah, yeah, where can they find you? In all socials?
39:50
You know what it is. If it's out there, I'm on there,
39:53
So what they would type in like Titanic Guy, Titanic fan ninety seven,
39:59
I love that. I love that, Ali, how about you? What
40:00
about what about the effects? Yeah? I thought the effects were good.
40:05
Yeah, I mean, yeah, there's obviously some scenes that Rea mentioned,
40:08
just like it's just part of the era, which doesn't you know. I'm
40:14
finding as we do this nostalgia podcast and rewatch stuff like even the bad CGI
40:17
doesn't necessarily bother me that much when I watch them, And honestly, I
40:22
find a lot of the times I find myself very impressed with how well CGI
40:25
is in that era. Sometimes too so I thought the effects are good everything,
40:31
like all the scenes where there were waters flooding in certain places, and
40:37
you know the obviously those panic scenes are are well done. And then the
40:42
score great, I agree with, Like the Irish jig stuff. I'm sure
40:46
whoever you know, James Horner really took into consideration, like the era and
40:52
then like what people on the boat would have heard and that kind of stuff.
40:54
Oh sad. And then the only thing that bothered me was how often
40:59
they played that at Is it a flute in the in the My Heart Will
41:04
Go On? Yeah? Yeah, yeah yeah, It's like how often they
41:07
played that little flute jit like melody. It was kind of frustrating because I
41:13
thought it was used too much. And then it's like a met millhouse on
41:16
the episode, like when did they get the fireworks factory? And like when
41:20
are they gonna play song I wanted? Yeah, So like back then at
41:25
that time, if you would go to like stores, there would be like
41:30
those CDs like in yeah or whatever. We pushed a little button in place
41:32
a little bit of like dolphins sounds like. So people that were into this
41:37
movie back then, like a little bit older people that had spending money,
41:40
they were like fucking obsessed with like that kind of shit, So they probably
41:45
loved the flute, like basic people love flutes. Lightful JD. Did you
41:53
have like a favorite portion of the soundtrack? Oh, Saline Deone actually have
42:00
the largest collection of Titanic on soundtrack right here. This is aighty one copies
42:06
of the soundtrack on TV and cassette. So yes, we are very very
42:10
passionate about James Horner and Selindian. Do you sell merchandise like that's sure to
42:21
say. I love t on v that's Titanic on VHS. I love that
42:24
so much. Absolutely yeah, because like, regardless if people I hate to
42:30
say this, but some people might not love Titanic, but I think you're
42:36
talking crazy. But here's the or they might not be super passionate about it,
42:39
but here's the thing that can unite. I think all people, on
42:45
whatever political beliefs you are, whatever kind of vibe you want, everybody likes
42:50
Titanic on VHS. Guy, at least this dude, at least everyone can
42:54
love JD. And that's the thing that's what can solve everything. Anyways,
43:02
So I'll start with additional and final thoughts. So for me, I don't
43:07
think this movie is great just because it has a nostalgia factor of me seeing
43:09
it in the theaters by myself. Oddly enough, I remember my mom dropping
43:14
her two nine. It came out ninety seven, so no, I just
43:16
turned ten. It was for my tenth birthday because it came out in ninety
43:20
seven, but my tenth birthday was nineteen ninety eight January tenth, So I
43:24
saw it for my birthday. Yeah, yeah, same, but yeah,
43:30
there was a lot of people in the theater too. And I remember I
43:30
was a kid. I always wanted to sit up right up front, so
43:34
I wasn't the front fucking roll like an idiot. But anyways, I don't
43:38
think this movie holds so dear to my heart just because I saw it as
43:42
a kid. I think now if I saw it, I think the storyline
43:45
is good enough to make me watch the whole movie and care about these characters,
43:51
and the fact that I'm a huge Titanic fan, you know, I
43:53
just like the Titanic in general, just the whole story. I love it.
43:57
And one of the crazy things too, the Titanic was discuss in nineteen
44:00
eighty five, so this movie was being made eleven years after they discovered it,
44:05
which is crazy to me, just that time period. And I think
44:08
another reason why the Titanic holds so dear in so many people's hearts and everybody
44:13
thinks about this is because we didn't really have internet back then. I mean,
44:16
yeah, there's a little bit of internet, but so this is one
44:20
of the stories that you hear about because it was such a worldwide event that
44:24
people cared about it because everybody knew about the story, So I don't know,
44:30
just my whole life, I've always been super infatuated with The Titanic.
44:34
It's wonderful and oh by the way, but my final thoughts on this movie,
44:37
I would give it ten Jack Dawson's that's awesome. Hell yeah, this
44:44
movie I really got into Downton Abbey. And that's how they start the series
44:50
with, not with the movie Titanic, but with the story of titan Oh.
44:53
Really, that's the first beat of the show. Is the Titanic.
44:59
That impact did the storyline for the characters. But anyways, nonetheless, this
45:05
movie, what was the topic? I think it was great, Like it
45:09
was a movie that was like big and then it was like really good.
45:13
But I still don't think I'm a big fan of Rose to slash Kate Winslet.
45:19
Originally it was supposed to be Claire Danes, did you alreaty talk about
45:22
this? But she just did Romeo and Juliet with with Jack Dawson and she
45:28
didn't want to, like, I don't know, something vibe in there,
45:31
and yeah she was in Homeland clar Danes and Terminator three not I don't think
45:37
James Cameron was involved in Terminator three. What do you think, JD.
45:40
No, Nope, it didn't have that spice that the other two have.
45:45
AnyWho, So, yeah, do I hate Kate Winslet, I yes,
45:51
I do, and I just I would rather have Claire Danes be everything to
46:00
the world as Kate Winslet is. But whatever, But she was in Homeland,
46:05
and I think that I don't think Homeland would have happened without nine to
46:07
eleven. But anyways, so I give Titanic. I'm gonna say one hundred
46:17
and nine or one thy nineteen, one hundred and twelve stars out of one
46:22
hundred and thousand a night, one nine hundred and twelve stars. Nice.
46:28
I love that. It's a perfect score. That's when it happened the Titanic.
46:32
Anyways, Hey, Ali, do you have any final thoughts on Titanic
46:36
or just thoughts in general? Sure, I feel like Kate Winslets was great
46:43
and is amazing and everything she does, and it was it was bullshit that
46:49
she was fat shamed for her role in this. I didn't remember that,
46:52
No, not you, No, but I remember that. Yeah, I
46:57
love that you. I said, if something terrible happening to somebody and you
47:01
were like that that wasn't me anyways. No, it's it's bullshit. She's
47:07
fucking beautiful and gorgeous, and so I hate that that happened. Overall.
47:16
I'm like, I don't have nostalgia for this movie. I've never seen a
47:22
James Cameron film I like, and I just I didn't love. I really
47:29
didn't like it. I'm sorry. I felt I wanted to be more invested
47:32
in the characters. I was upset that, like the cast is as good
47:36
as it is, and I don't I don't get to see more Kathy Bates
47:39
or Billy Zaane and like see more character development. And I really really disliked
47:45
the modern day portion of this film. I think that sucks. I really
47:52
think that sucked. I think it really fucked up the film for me.
47:54
I think the goal was I think the goal is to take You're going back,
48:01
and this is obvious, You're going back with older Rose, and that's
48:06
the point of view. Like when X Men and animated series starts, you
48:08
said, I don't I really don't like Israel said, like, Rose's character
48:13
is not great, Like I'm not invested in Rose's characters, so I'm not
48:15
invested in this old lady either. Yeah, like the three of us at
48:20
least hate King Winsley. We get it. I love Kate Winsley. Actually
48:23
I love k too. Yeah, especially you love her eternal Sunshine amazing.
48:29
You love her as much as Kathy Kathy Bates. No, you're a girl.
48:34
You love her as much as your kids. Is that what you're saying?
48:37
You said it, not me? Okay, what starts? Yeah?
48:42
Continue, Alie. So that's all that's all, miss say. I'm sorry
48:45
I didn't like it more. I wish, I wish I got the hype
48:47
and everything. But well, next time it comes out, I'm sorry,
48:51
Ali. When it comes out in theaters for the next time, can we
48:53
go see it? Maybe that'll change you a little bit, maybe, JD.
48:57
Do you have a preference on how you watch Itanic on VHS? That's
49:02
the only way there we go. That's the issue that Ali had. I
49:06
think Ali watch it on VHS, yeah, instead of the Paramount Plus.
49:13
Yeah, please go. I love that Ali. Ali's sick. But they
49:19
sound like the Verge of Tears, like it's an emotional interview. Well,
49:23
especially when I'm sorry to like it more. I was like, it's okay,
49:27
I think it's amazing. My voice is really cracked for this. I
49:32
had to do a stand up set last night with this voice. It was
49:36
really bad. I don't know how many? How many? What would you
49:38
rate this movie? Alie, Oh, I need to rate it? I
49:43
would It's like it's it's like a J A C on the Jack Dawson scale.
49:52
Jack. Yeah, it's like a Jack out of Jack Dawson. It
49:58
would have been cool if they would have done it like as a rom com
50:00
because rom coms are really big back then. Yeah, and just done like
50:05
she's not gonna go jump off, but she like slips and like falls on
50:07
the ground and then there's like a yeah, that's so great. But yeah,
50:13
things were terrifying back in the in the tens. I wouldn't even like
50:16
to like be a grown up in the eighties, Like no Internet, what
50:20
the are you gonna play video games? Yeah? But after you watch Titanic
50:24
VHS? Yeah, how would you watch how would you watch Titango VHS?
50:28
Real? What about you? How do you feel about this movie? And
50:30
you're rating? I would say, I don't know. I think it's losing
50:36
its luster for me the more I watch it. But I think I'm also
50:42
I really love this sounds terrible. I really love when it's sinking. I
50:46
think that is where the like the good cinematography is. I feel like that's
50:52
a lot of where the good, really, really the good acting happens.
50:57
I think watching the captain like just be like, Okay, that's it,
51:04
I'm done, you know, and just go into hit into the captain's quarters.
51:07
I just think like there was a lot of emotion put into those scenes,
51:13
and I really really appreciated it. So like kind of I'm at the
51:15
point where I'm like, let's just fast forward to when this starts sinking.
51:20
Well, like the old couple, that's a real couple. The people,
51:23
like the kids everything when they're when it's sinking and you can hear the music
51:27
in the background. If you don't, right, I'm just gonna say it
51:30
right now, you're a monster. There we go. I said it.
51:32
I'm not taking it back. I think it's important to watch the whole thing.
51:36
But like I'm into four play, so I think that's the you know,
51:40
but I get it. So the sinking gets you ready to go huh
51:43
yeah. JD. What's your overall feelings about the movie and what would you
51:47
rate it. I'm more of like a set number one kind of guy.
51:52
I love the Jack Dawson scenes where he's playing poker, he's the king of
51:54
the world, he's dancing, he's at the first class dinner. I mean
51:58
the speech come on of making each day count. I work my way from
52:01
place to place, you know, tramp steamers and such. But I won
52:06
my ticket on Titanic here at a lucky handed poker, a very lucky hand.
52:12
All life is a game of luck. A real man makes his own
52:15
luck. Gotcha right, doesn't hm? And do you find that sort of
52:21
rootless existence appealing? Do you? Well, yes, ma'am, I do.
52:29
I mean, got everything I need right here with me, got the
52:31
air in my lungs, and a few blank sheets of paper. I mean,
52:36
I love waking up in the morning, not knowing what's gonna happen,
52:38
or who I'm gonna meet, where I'm gonna wind up. Just the other
52:44
night, I was sleeping under a bridge, and now here I am on
52:46
the grandest ship in the world, having champagne with you find people, I
52:50
don't pick some of I figure life's a gift and I don't intend on wasting
52:54
it. You never know what hand. You're gonna get dealt next. You
53:00
learned to take life as it comes at you. Boy, you go count
53:05
to make each day count well, said Jack. Yeah. Jack Dawson hits
53:10
it hard, gets set number one. But yeah, obviously this movie changed
53:15
my life. Obviously around me, I have so much Titanic and so much
53:17
support for my community from Titanic, going to Titanic conventions, meeting everyone who
53:22
just loves Titanics, titan the acts, and it's just so fun. I
53:27
love this movie. I give it a nineteen ninety seven out of ten because
53:30
that's the year it came out. And James Cameron, if you're listening,
53:32
buddy, pick up the phone. I'm trying to talk. Yeah. No,
53:37
he's probably not listening to this. No, it might be O.
53:43
No. I think my last question for you, every time you watch Cassette
53:50
one, do you always have to watch Cassette two? Or do you start
53:52
over with Cassette one and just sometimes you just play that a couple times in
53:55
a row. Yeah. People don't like to hear this, but because Set
54:00
number one, I will rewind it and watch it again. I love that
54:04
one so much, Thank you so much. I think we're gonna let you
54:07
go, but thank you. I oh what and I have some questions?
54:12
Oh yeah, let's do that real okay? Oh yeah yeah. So JD,
54:19
have you ever done a live stream of you watching Titanic and so your
54:22
fans can watch how you interact, how you react to the movie in real
54:25
time. Yeah. So every Tuesday we do Titanic Tuesday where I celebrate Titanic
54:30
on VHS on TikTok and we watch Titanic for the wholes set number one.
54:35
Okay, I love that. Okay, if you had to choose, So
54:40
Sophie's choice situation, are you picking Jack Dawson or James Cammy, don't tell
54:49
James, but Jack Dawson's coming home with me? All right? Is there
54:55
a copy out of the twenty eight hundred plus copies that you own that is
55:00
your personal favorite? Yeah? I can get it, right, Quicks,
55:04
Oh, I like that. I'm talking. This is the screen or of
55:07
Titanic on HS made in nineteen ninety, seventy year before the actual release of
55:12
Titanic on VHS, and this is how it won the eleven Academy Awards.
55:15
They sent this puppy out and oh so beautiful. That's amazing. That is
55:21
cool. Do you watch that one often? Never watched it? It's sacred.
55:25
Yeah, yeah, yeah special. You save that like a bottle of
55:29
fine wine for a special monumental day. Oh yeah, that's awesome. Uh.
55:35
Your my next question, are you upset that Avatar made more money than
55:38
Titanic? It was different times. We have more people on the Earth now
55:43
there's more ways to stream movies and that brings them more income. I think
55:46
it's unfair to say that, but Titanic at the time very impressive. Yeah.
55:52
So Titanic with the same amount of release that Avatar gets it out,
55:57
it out sells Avatar by a mile, I assume. Yeah, if it
56:02
was on you know, today's standards, for sure. Okay, my last
56:07
question, how long does it take to rewind Titanic on VHS? Nice?
56:14
We can go for about five to six minutes sometimes depending on the VCR,
56:16
but around five minutes. Okay, all right, Wow, that's all the
56:22
questions I had. Thank you for answering my question. An amazing question.
56:25
Yeah, that was such a good question. Actually, yeah, that's great.
56:29
Do you have any any final thoughts? Jd Uh If you're out there
56:34
and you want to watch Titanic for the first time, or maybe for the
56:37
tenth time. Watch it on VHS, the only way to watch Titanic.
56:42
I love that so much. And where can our listeners find you again?
56:45
I'm on all social media's under Titanic Fan ninety seven. That's the year the
56:50
movie came out, and of course I am a big Titanic fan. I
56:54
can tell that. And please say good night to Jack Dawson. If he's
56:59
asleep right now, he probably has a busy day tomorrow watching stuff. Oh
57:04
there he is, Thank you, Jack, my man, my man,
57:08

57:12

57:52

57:57

58:07
those beautiful Titanics on DHS. Do you have a goal in mind? One
58:13
million? One million? When we're so close almost a three thousand right now,
58:16
But if you get to a million, I don't foresee you being stopping
58:20

58:25
Yeah, unthinkable, unsingable ship. I love it. Well, thank you

58:44
right, good night. We'll never let go, never let go, never
58:47
let all right, bye bye. All right. So before we end the
58:57
episode, we just want to give one one big thank you again to JD
59:00
for coming out Titanic. Make sure you follow him. He's super funny,
59:04
super great, and don't be stingy. Just send him Titanic on VHS.
59:09
Yeah all right, because we're gonna be sending some because he's so great.
59:13
If your grandma needs to decide between insulin or sending him VHS, do the
59:17
VHS. Yeah, push her downstairs and uh send the VHS. But before
59:22
we leave, we want to do that's so good. We wanted to do
59:25
a retro reboot. That's the past. It's time to recast. It's retro.
59:37
So number one is Cal. Who you have for Cal? Yeah you
59:43
go first, you got this. I had Nicholas Holt. Oh, okay,
59:46
all right and nobody So like, I went and I did some I
59:52
did some real research on this, y'all, and I looked for people who
1:00:00
wore under thirty. So Nicholas Holt, that is him. I think he
1:00:05
looks like a has been Yeah, yeah, he's been in mad Max for
1:00:09
Your Road, Warm Bodies Cage. He plays uh Pennywise. No, oh,
1:00:17
he's Peter in The Great which is an amazing Hulu series. I cannot
1:00:23
recommend that enough that got canceled, but it's great. Yeah, he was
1:00:30
also in the menu, so anyway. Yeah, I think he is a
1:00:34
good like Billy Zaanish type character, so obviously as good as Billy Zaye,
1:00:40
but I don't think he'd good what Hey, hey, who did you have
1:00:50
for Cal? For Cal? Okay, you're all gonna hate my choice,
1:00:53
yep, sure are, but it'll make a little more sense when we get
1:00:58
to Rose. Okay, okay, My my choice for Cal is Hwan McGregor.
1:01:01
I love MacGregor thought, yeah, me too. Nothwan? Did you
1:01:07
say win? Ali? I love? Though I like that, Andy says,
1:01:14
just says, I think it's human. Well, Rhea says, how
1:01:16
could you think that it was human? I thought I was wrong. I
1:01:21
thought it was Hwan. After Ali said that, because Alex doesn't make too
1:01:23
many mistakes, I'm saying it wrong for twenty bar really quick. When I
1:01:29
do, I don't do voices of all of you, but when I do
1:01:31
voices of you, I make Ali British. That's funny, like like I
1:01:37
have like a frasier kind of like like a distinct like or like a distinguished,
1:01:40
distinguished person because I'm smart. Yeah, I heard people were glasses and
1:01:45
they all sound British. Yeah. If Poulepot was around, he would kill
1:01:51
three of us. Is Poulpot? What you know is Cambodia, he killed
1:01:57
two thirds of the population. Oh I should know that. It's anyways,
1:02:00
he would kill people. He didn't like intellectuals and he thought having glasses was
1:02:02
a sign of being smart, so he killed everybody that wore glasses. Was
1:02:06
that the Rwanda? No, no, no, it's a Cameron Ruths from
1:02:14
like the seventies. He died in the nineties. Okay, so my cow
1:02:16
is one of my favorite actors. I love this person so much. And
1:02:21
I just saw a movie called Don't Worry Dear, and he's in it,
1:02:23
and he played a bad guy. I never seen him play a bad guy
1:02:25
before, but Chris Pine. I think Chris Pine is so attractive, And
1:02:30
after seeing that movie of a Don't Worry Darling, I was like, he
1:02:35
can play an asshole and I think he would be great and anything he's in
1:02:39
I think it's great. And I think Billy Zane is super attractive, so
1:02:44
I think one of the people that could rival his attractiveness is Chris Pine.
1:02:47
I love that choice too. Everyone's so far doing really good on this.
1:02:52
Both of us, well, the three of you have gone, oh shit,
1:02:54
sorry, I've I've had some wine. Oh so my numbers? Oh
1:03:01
yeah, Ali said you, and Alix said Hughan McGregor, and then Rhea
1:03:07
said Nick Holt, Yeah he was in Okay. So mine is somebody that
1:03:15
has a such of Madonna's wild style is Candice Canberrat from Full House. Yeah,
1:03:24
like stay with me. I feel like she has a typical, like
1:03:30
a charming demeanor about herself, but she's very like has evil tendencies. And
1:03:36
I think that her taking on maybe a role that's outside of full House could
1:03:42
be really good for her to change her opinions on people. So I think
1:03:46
it could be good because I do love full House and I watched Fuller House
1:03:50
and I watch her Hallmark for I don't go up to the baby gay super
1:03:52
gay bashy thing, but I watched her on Hallmark and stuff. No they
1:03:59
started high, what so you're so fucking high? But she used to be
1:04:05
on Hallmark, but they were too gay friendly for her. So then she
1:04:09
bounced. So I just I don't know. Cann came and Brave Man.
1:04:11
She's cool, all right. Next one is Rose. Oh sorry, so
1:04:19
for a Rose I did and Jewelry Rice. She was in the mayor of
1:04:24
East Town. Okay. Oh yes, yes, Oh my gosh, you're
1:04:30
winning right now, thank you. Yeah. I think she'd be I think
1:04:33
she would just be great. I think she's beautiful and she has that sort
1:04:36
of younger look. And yeah, and since she has Kate Winslet seal of
1:04:44
approval. Oh, they're remaking Titanic. Yeah, no, she's in.
1:04:50
She's in a show with Kate Winslet. Oh okay, because yeah, they
1:04:55
can't make a sequel. It's called Tutanic. That's pretty good. That's pretty
1:05:00
good that it's a comedy or a really sad story about Titanic. Though,
1:05:04
is you know there's waterproof areas in the Titanic. So for weeks after the
1:05:10
Titanic saying people were petitioning like the government, but all like American you know,
1:05:15
all of them to be like, hey you can go down. They
1:05:17
might still be alive. How sad is that because a lot of people thought
1:05:20
their family members are still alive in those waterproof things, and they're like they
1:05:25
won't be. But that's so sad because so many people weren't found. They
1:05:29
found about three hundred bodies altogether, and fifteen hundred died, so anyway,
1:05:32
but they couldn't if we can barely get down there ourselves and they didn't know
1:05:36
where it was either. Yeah they yeah, I mean, yeah, it's
1:05:41
kim possible. Nice Okay, nice guys. I love the nice guys.
1:05:45
That's why I love that movie. I think it's so fucking funny. Okay,
1:05:48
Ali, who was your Rose? Okay, so my my Rose?
1:05:57
So I missed the she was supposed to be seventeen. Obviously they're faked people,
1:06:03
so in my situation, they're not children. But for my Rose,
1:06:10
it would be Mary Elizabeth Winstead and and I picked Qun McGregor because they date
1:06:16
in real life. They've also acted together in several roles and I think they're
1:06:21
really fun, fun, dynamic, and after seeing Birds of Prey, Ewan
1:06:26
McGregor is like so good at being a dick. Yeah, so I think
1:06:30
you'd fit cal great. And then Mary Elizabeth Winsted is like fucking studying gorgeous,
1:06:34
amazing actress. Be great. He replaced Bros. I thought you were
1:06:40
talking about Michelle Dockery for a second. I don't know who that is.
1:06:43
She's Mary from Mammy. Oh, oh my god. I love her.
1:06:46
I love Mary like I love her. She is the perfect I know who.
1:06:51
That's a complex character. Okay, Andy, So I chose I might.
1:06:57
I'm probably gonna say her last name wrong, Kara Delavigny, Delavingi,
1:07:05
DeLavigne. Is that how you's saying. I don't know her said last name?
1:07:09
Uh? But I think she can play somebody who's really meek, and
1:07:12
she can also play someone who's really powerful. So I think that's kind of
1:07:14
the dynamic between with Rose is. I think she at the beginning, she's
1:07:17
kind of meat because she's trapped, but then later on the movie she becomes
1:07:23
strong and breaks away. So and it's funny that you brought a Birds of
1:07:26
Prey because I was thinking the suicide Squad when she plays really scared and then
1:07:30
when she plays really tough, you know. So yeah, Kara Devil delived
1:07:33
in it. Yeah, I think delvine Yeah, so that's what I got
1:07:38
for Rose. I think Rose would be a good poison Ivy. Yeah,
1:07:44
like if they went like more like would be a good do you mean Kate
1:07:46
Winslow or do you mean a Rose would be a good Poison? No?
1:07:50
I think how how DC movies are leading are getting out of the campy and
1:07:55
getting more dark and real. She would be an interesting choice for Poison Ivy.
1:08:04
Yeah, and Kiss from a Rose was a song for Batman Forever Seal
1:08:12
coincidence. I don't know, Okay, my Rose is Nev Campbell Nev like
1:08:21
I want her to be in a Titanic movie that isn't Blood and Steel.
1:08:27
I'm not dissonant. I haven't seen it yet, but can you see that
1:08:30
poster so far? Well, well, Billy Zane's not on the poster,
1:08:32
but the scenes with Cameron Canvas Candace Cameron Beret is like going off on whoever
1:08:38
the actress. I just said, Okay, so that's my Rose. Wait,
1:08:44
so Rose and Cal they're gay? Then yeah, I'm making Candace Cameron
1:08:49
Beret gay because she's gonna have a come to share moment and like turn out
1:08:55
to be like pro gay. So then is Jazz? I was like,
1:08:59
I'm just jacko jack is okay? Riha who drum roll? Who's your Jack
1:09:08
Jack is Tom Holland, Oh, sure, that's a good you know,
1:09:12
that's a really good one. That one makes sense. I didn't even think
1:09:15
about that. That's a good one for so Tom Holland, Nick Holt and
1:09:20
Rice. Yeah, so far, I'm like in yours is I'm watching that,
1:09:26
I know because I picked good Can I know what I'm doing? All
1:09:30
right, Allie, so far is winning. But she's the only one that's
1:09:32
finished. So picking Jack Dawson. Yeah, Jack Dawson, Jack Dollson,
1:09:38
Baby my Jack Dawson will be Sir sha Nan, who is that? What's
1:09:45
the lady bird? Little Women? Uh, Timothy Chalamagne, I just saw
1:09:54
that movie. Yeah, wait, you're picking an actor from Little Women and
1:09:59
not till it Isham Sharonan. Yeah yeah it's Irish s a Oh I are
1:10:10
okay, I see it now. Yeah, that's that's wonderful for sure.
1:10:14
So lesbian action between Mary Elizabeth win Said and Sir Ronan, Oh her yeah
1:10:19
cool, just pretty free. No, we should be Jack. Yeah,
1:10:26
I fucking love that. Look at us being like we're representing our our uh
1:10:30
P flag or whatever like LGBT right here. I love this. Yeah,
1:10:33
uh huh okay and that's so great. Andy is Kenzie scale, so it
1:10:41
might be a little more than that. Okay, Andy, go so for
1:10:45
Jack, I got uh said the last name again. I don't know why
1:10:48
I don't know these two's last names. Barry Cogan, he was the main
1:10:53
character from Saltburn. I think he's I think he's attractive, but in a
1:10:57
different way, and I think, oh no, I don't know. I
1:11:00
don't think he's hideous. I think he's attractive, but I think he's like
1:11:04
in the so in some of his movies, he doesn't look that attractive.
1:11:09
I think it's the characters he's playing. But then if you just like google
1:11:12
him, you see him like on the Red Carpet, and you're like,
1:11:14
oh, okay, So I think but he's a different type of attractive than
1:11:16
Leo was. But I think Barry and Kara together would be dynamite because I
1:11:21
think they're both good actors. And I think he did really good in Saltburn,
1:11:29
and I would hope that in the Titanic scene you see his dick flopping
1:11:31
around everywhere. Damn it, here's the thing he's damn it. He sort
1:11:36
of like, can't kill damn it. I think that movies need to have
1:11:46
more unique looking actors playing. Yeah, like I don't need to watch I
1:11:53
don't know who's Joel Crowe like that kind of beauty on everything. She's beautiful,
1:11:58
so Barrys, Okay, my general is fucking gorgeous. Like if she
1:12:06
was are you kidding me? If she was an office manager? Like A
1:12:11
like A, no's just in general. She's so beautiful. She works you
1:12:18
like if you go to the chiropractor, she's the one who's married to the
1:12:21
chiropractor doctor. Like, yeah, she's gorgeous. He's a white mid white
1:12:28
woman mid. No way, anybody that can date is top tier's armstrong.
1:12:34
He won the n B A. Yeah, we'll go that round. There's
1:12:40
something new with the ball. Jesus, I think you know. I'm just
1:12:48
sending you a picture right now. Fucking girl, Oh my god, she
1:12:54
is so beautiful, her hair, her skin, her voice. She was
1:12:58
about the lil the like if you go if you can go time Machine,
1:13:06
if you go to time Machine and you go to Lilith Fair, you're gonna
1:13:10
be like, she's sucking awesome. No, she's not gay, she's I
1:13:14
don't you know how many guys I check out that on a daily basis they're
1:13:16
not gay. I don't think, though she seems like she was kind of.
1:13:23
Yeah, she hung out with Paula Cole and Sarah McLaughlin and Jewel.
1:13:27
Yeah, I think that too, got in on the end of that.
1:13:31
Okay, No, was a diva so diva divas did not have Sheryl Crow.
1:13:40
Okay, it doesn't matter. My point is there's two types of artists
1:13:43
in the nineties. There's Lilith Fair and there's divas. Divas are Aretha Franklin
1:13:46
in the nineties, Mariah Carey, Celine h Gloria Stefan. Okay, okay,
1:13:57
wait, wait, wait, wait, one more question, Ali,
1:13:58
Is is a glory as Stefan? A diva like official diva, like the
1:14:02
VH one diva? Yes? Are you just saying in general like diva?
1:14:09
Both? Is she star power diva? And was she a part of the
1:14:11
VH one divos? I don't think she was part of the VH one divas.
1:14:15
And no, she's like a one hit wonder. Yeah, you're gonna
1:14:18
put her in the same boat as Aretha Franklin. No, no, no,
1:14:21
no, what is she was the queen Diva? She is the Queen
1:14:25
Diva. Sidebar I'm obsessed, like like obsessed, like like creepy Jack Dawson,
1:14:29
obsessed with the divas. Oh and I've Gloria. Someone was a diva
1:14:36
on the on the Diva's Live and she was on the second year. I'll
1:14:40
take this out to you, but before you leave, can I show you
1:14:42
an Aretha Franklin live performance. That's my favorite thing of all time. Are
1:14:45
you doing it? No, I'm not gonna sing it. Oh okay,
1:14:50
my number one pick or my number one pick? Okay, my Jack Dawson
1:14:55
pick. I'm going out there because I'm thinking I'm getting older, time to
1:15:00
reinvent myself. I think I'm gonna get into filmmaking and being in movies.
1:15:05
So I'm gonna cast myself. That's yeah. I'm going with Jeff Keller and
1:15:11
then my co stars Nef Campbell, which will totally make sense. And then
1:15:16
and then my scenes. Oh wait, I'm Jack not Rose. Okay,
1:15:20
If I'm Jack, then my scenes, Oh no, I want to be
1:15:24
Rose. Fuck that I'm Rose now? But then who's Campbell? Yeah?
1:15:29
But then Jack is played by a girl though, but then Jack's a girl
1:15:31
though. Anyways, Okay, so yes, let's do wrong, Let's do
1:15:41
the bonus round Bonus round. Who would play Molly Keithy Bates? Who would
1:15:46
play Molly Kathy Bates? I went with Kristin Chenow with oh oh yeah,
1:15:53
okay, I think she is just I think she has that Southern like sass
1:16:00
and charm and she can sing like like not that male brown saying, but
1:16:05
like I just feel like she's so she would just be great at being like
1:16:10
bless your heart. Mm hmm. Your cast is fucking five stars. Well
1:16:16
done, Allie. Who is your Kathy Bates? I didn't pick one.
1:16:21
I don't remember. I think we're doing Kathy Bates and I don't know.
1:16:26
I can't think of it. Okay, question, all right, I'll go.
1:16:29
Next tent I got for my Kathy Bates is going to be Tyler Perry
1:16:33
as Media Hello, just that character though, as Kathy Baits, not as
1:16:44
Molly toown brown Town, but just as Kathy Bass. Tyler Perry play be
1:16:48
playing Medea playing Kathy Baits. Look you get it. You know what?
1:17:00
Actually, who who would play Molly? And mine is Ady Bryant because I
1:17:02
love a She's so amazing. Yeah for sure, I love that so much.
1:17:09
You know who I would choose? She that would be because Mollie's kind
1:17:15
of the comic. Really, she has a couple of biers here and there,
1:17:17
and oh she was amazing. Like, I agree with Ali's earlier statement.
1:17:21
I feel like this was primo primo Kathy Bates time, Like this came
1:17:26
out after Misery and Fright Green Tomatoes and like that she was already a nominated
1:17:32
Yeah, win, a winner. I'm like Jana Darryl ray So, No,
1:17:38
I agree, these are really great ones. I love this, Thank
1:17:40
you anything else we wanted to chat about. No, I was not high
1:17:49
enough for this fucking episode. Chaotic. It was very an experimental episode.
1:17:58
No, I say, like it was such a monumental film of the nineties,
1:18:02
so it'd may be definitely blinders not to mention it much on the podcast.
1:18:08
So does anyone have any him to promote. I'll go first. I
1:18:12
just want to, Oh, you go ahead. Sorry, I just want
1:18:14
to apologize everybody, because if you were excited to like hear about Idea the
1:18:21
actual film, am I a discussion? Damn? Yeah? I know it
1:18:30
was crazy. Was a really chaotic episode. We're going to get a review.
1:18:33
Huh, We're going to get a review. Yeah, I love it
1:18:38
about I don't know. It's fine as long as we talk about it.
1:18:43
What they're talking about is exactly what that's that's the point. Like if who's
1:18:46
listening to everyone, who's everyone's listening to this has seen the movie. I
1:19:00
I do think we have to do a separate episode where we actually put an
1:19:02
effort into reviewing the movie Titanic in nineteen ninety seven. I think we sidebar.
1:19:09
I think we do another episode where we review this episode. That's not
1:19:13
bad idea. Oh yeah, yeah, So I just wanted to promote the
1:19:16
Averagers just got done with season one. It's a lot of fun that all
1:19:21
rhymed that was not by on purpose, So check that out. And then
1:19:27
I also just really want to promote a Titanic fan underscore ninety seven. Like
1:19:31
I said earlier, I didn't know Jeff and I were both following this person.
1:19:34
I've been following him for like a year and a half or something,
1:19:36
and I love all his videos. Like Jeff said earlier, always makes you
1:19:41
laugh. Send him some God Damn Titanic on VHS. Yeah, but I
1:19:46
learned, and I didn't know. I know that he's anto Titanic, so
1:19:49
I did my research there. Yeah, you did I killed me? Okay,
1:19:57
Ali, do you having him to promote? No, you don't know.
1:20:01
I don't want people who listen to me in this episode find me elsewhere.
1:20:06
This is not me at a hundreds. If you want to look at
1:20:10
pictures of my dog, you can look at my dog, Gus Gus.
1:20:13
He's a Chihuahua. I take pictures of him. Nothing special, but it's
1:20:15
also the super special team at gus Gas underscore the dog on Instagram, and
1:20:21
that's pretty much it. I'm gonna probably like not get super blazed before this
1:20:29
maybe, but maybe this is a good episode to do that too. Get
1:20:32
blazed before what before you take a picture of your dog? Okay, we've
1:20:40
already recorded that. If you're listening to this, stop what you're doing,
1:20:45
rewind it and get blazed makes yeah, okay, we do anything to say
1:20:53
no. All right? Well, and uh, until next time. I'm
