In this episode we discuss the seventieth Best Picture winner, Titanic, the many records it broke on its way to winning eleven Academy Awards, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck’s win for Best Original Screenplay, and Billy Crystal’s continued hosting duties. We also explore the making of Titanic, the ever-expanding budget of the most expensive film to date in 1997, and James Cameron’s obsession with deep-sea diving.
