EPISODE 32: TITANIC

This week on Crouch Cinema Corner we climb aboard one of the biggest movies ever made as we revisit James Cameron’s 1997 epic Titanic. As we near the end of our James Cameron season, we talk about the film that cemented him as a box office legend, and brought romance disaster and spectacle together in unforgettable fashion. We discuss the iconic love story of Jack and Rose, and why their relationship still resonates decades later, while also celebrating the rich supporting cast (including scene stealing turns from Kathy Bates and Billy Zane). The conversation dives into Cameron’s meticulous filmmaking - from groundbreaking visual effects and large scale practical sets, to the emotional storytelling that keeps the three hour runtime gripping from start to finish. Along the way we reflect on the film’s historic box office success and its lasting place in pop culture history. With talk of the epic romance, historical drama, Oscar wins, and unforgettable music, this episode is an entertaining celebration of Titanic as both a cinematic achievement and a deeply emotional crowd pleaser.
