1.32: Titanic: Sketches, Shipwrecks & The Season Finale

In the Season 1 finale of Popcorn and Possibilities, we celebrate one full year since releasing our very first episode! We reflect on what we’ve learned from podcasting, from Stephanie getting used to hearing her voice on recordings and realizing no story is too small, to Brian sharing how much he’s loved hearing stories from guests ranging from actresses and directors to bread and candle makers. We also talk about the fears we had starting the podcast, including being nervous to share our opinions publicly, and announce that we’re looking for more guests for future interviews. Then we dive into Titanic. Stephanie talks about how the movie’s long runtime still holds up, while Brian shares his childhood fascination with Titanic lore and even a family rumor that his great grandmother almost boarded the ship. We break down Titanic fun facts, debate the best and worst characters, unpack the chaotic romance of Jack and Rose, and discuss whether Rose should have dropped the jewel into the ocean. We wrap up the episode by sharing our favorite moments and movies from Season 1.
