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 Claudia Bitran, currently working on a shot-for-shot remake 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.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.--Additional reading and viewing:See more of Claudia Bitran's work HERE Titanic's alternate ending [video] Titanic survival results on MythBusters [video] A Reevaluation of Titanic by Dana Stevens  Why Don’t Studios Rerelease Movies More Often? by Jim Pagels Vulture’s Comprehensive Timeline of Titanic’s Cultural Dominance in 1998 by Gwynne Watkins Titanic Force of a Young Woman in Love by Lorrie Moore And of course: http://fuckyeahdicaprio.tumblr.com
