Summary: <br> To commemorate the sinking of Titanic on the morning of April 15th, 1912, we revisit a movie that stayed afloat long past anyone's expectations.Joining us for this episode is filmmaker and artist <a href="http://www.claudiabitran.com/">Claudia Bitran</a>, currently working on a <a href="http://www.claudiabitran.com/titanic.html">shot-for-shot remake</a> of the record-breaking 1997 James Cameron film. All of us watched Titanic as early teens, so the time seems ripe to reassess it now that we're grown-ass women. We also take a closer look at what has buoyed the film while simultaneously making it a target of mockery: teen female fandom.<br> Plus: Hear about some of our listeners' tender memories of watching the film, and tell us yours by leaving a message at 530-628-3379.<br> <br> <br> <br> --<br> <br> Additional reading and viewing:<br> <br> See more of Claudia Bitran's work <a href="http://www.claudiabitran.com/">HERE</a><br> <br> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2tYHcXNwAk&app=desktop">Titanic's alternate ending</a> [video]<br> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVgkvaDHmto&feature=youtu.be">Titanic survival results on MythBusters</a> [video]<br> <a href="http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/movies/2012/04/james_cameron_s_titanic_starring_leonardo_dicaprio_and_kate_winslet_now_in_3d_reviewed.html">A Reevaluation of Titanic by Dana Stevens </a><br> <a href="http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2012/04/09/the_titanic_3d_rerelease_why_not_just_rerelease_the_winslet_dicaprio_classic_in_2d_.html">Why Don’t Studios Rerelease Movies More Often? by Jim Pagels</a><br> <a href="http://www.vulture.com/2013/11/timeline-of-titanics-world-dominance-in-1998.html">Vulture’s Comprehensive Timeline of Titanic’s Cultural Dominance in 1998 by Gwynne Watkins</a><br> <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/film/3591572/Titanic-force-of-a-young-woman-in-love.html">Titanic Force of a Young Woman in Love by Lorrie Moore</a><br> <br> And of course: <a href="http://fuckyeahdicaprio.tumblr.com">http://fuckyeahdicaprio.tumblr.com</a><br> <br> <br>
