Carley and Blair go behind the scenes of the iconic 1997 James Cameron/Leonardo DiCaprio/Kate Winslet Best Picture-winning movie, Titanic. Nudity! Scenes filmed backwards! Clam chowder spiked with drugs! It has nothing to do with the mystery of the shipwreck but it's a very good movie.(They also talk about Montreal, Canadian authors, Lion King sequels, criminal uncles, Aritzia, children's haunted eyes, celebrities they'd be friends with, and their cast for a 2023 Titanic remake.)Next week: the finaleCome watch Titanic with us in Toronto on December 20th at Hot Docs, featuring an intro by Blair and Carley! https://hotdocs.ca/whats-on/films/titanicHosted by: Blair MacMillan and Carley ThorneProduced by: Rob ModenMusic by: Jacob OllivierTruthtanic cover artist: Heather Lundriganv1.01Have suggestions or feedback?

Carley and Blair and guest Tim Blair (TallBoyz) talk about some of the major depictions of the Titanic disaster in pop culture - including a movie about the Titanic ending the cold war, the moderately cursed Titanic: The Musical, and wanting to see Titanique. (The James Cameron movie gets its own episode next week.) Plus: kid liars, more Lin Manuel-Miranda, the Thumb movie series, burst tendons in Georgia, fake Mexican aliens, John Wilkes Booth, teen Fringe festivals, Club Penguin, and dream Titanic media projects.Check out Tim's project Sidetracked Show on YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram!Behind the scenes fact: the air conditioning was broken while recording, so everyone is sweating and loopy.

Carley and Blair celebrate our Lord and Savior, Robert D. Ballard, seemingly the only person racing to find the Titanic's wreck who wasn't just promoting his ping pong business or whatever. Plus: getting humbled, Enola Holmes, waiting for the invitation, Jack Grimm, certain Toronto mansions, teachers getting too method in history class, Paul Mescal, mispronouncing words, and the year is, famously, 2023.We love you, Rachel Zegler.Hosted by: Blair MacMillan and Carley ThorneProduced by: Rob ModenMusic by: Jacob OllivierTruthtanic cover artist: Heather Lundriganv1.03Have suggestions or feedback?

"The energy... it's like we drank a bottle of wine before recording this."Blair and Carley review some of the major Titanic conspiracies that have popped up in the last century (fake ships?! JP Morgan?! Mummies?! Different definitions of ice?!) but get very side-tracked on Anne with an E, cults, the royal family, Joe Biden and a chain, "edgy" comedians, hating Charles Dickens, strong chins, and more singing. If you've thought "I wish they wouldn't talk about the Titanic so much on this podcast," this the episode for you.Not a joke, this took almost 5 hours to record. It felt unhinged. We had to stop and start several times.Come on the podcast, Rachel Zegler.Hosted by: Blair MacMillan and Carley ThorneProduced by: Rob ModenMusic by: Jacob OllivierTruthtanic cover artist: Heather Lundriganv1.07Have suggestions or feedback?

Carley and Blair dare to review the official timeline of the night the Titanic sunk... April 14th to 15th, 1912. Plus: Newsies, hangovers, astrology, the worst April Fool's joke ever, callbacks to the potato washing room, and role-playing how they'd have Mark Wahlberg'd this tragedy. This one's kind of a funny, then sad, then funny sandwich.Hosted by: Blair MacMillan and Carley ThorneProduced by: Rob ModenMusic by: Jacob OllivierTruthtanic cover artist: Heather Lundriganv1.05Have suggestions or feedback?

In part 2 of the investigation, Carley and Blair review the most famous suspects. How many shipwrecks can the Unsinkable Molly Brown survive without people asking questions? Plus: oral fixations, lots of singing, Jerry Seinfeld's stand-up driving people to the lifeboats, and which other modern celebrities wouldn't survive if the Titanic disaster happened today.Hosted by: Blair MacMillan and Carley ThorneProduced by: Rob ModenMusic by: Jacob OllivierTruthtanic cover artist: Heather Lundriganv1.02Have suggestions or feedback?

Blair and Carley welcome you to Truthtanic, the only show brave enough to ask: what happened to the RMS Titanic in 1912? In part 1 of the investigation, our hosts explain what to expect in each episode, their personal fixations with the historic disaster, some of the key features of the ship, and obviously, which amenities they'd use for dirty hook-ups.Hosted by: Blair MacMillan and Carley ThorneProduced by: Rob ModenMusic by: Jacob OllivierTruthtanic cover artist: Heather Lundriganv1.1Have suggestions or feedback?

Comedians Blair MacMillan and Carley Thorne have spent months obsessing over the Titanic. Like, pre-submersible. In season 1 of Girl Historians, they'll (genuinely) recap the history of the famous 1912 disaster, and (less genuinely) try to figure out: what actually happened?Sign up on Patreon for episodes a week early and ad-free, plus bonuses! patreon.com/GirlHistoriansHosted by: Blair MacMillan and Carley ThorneProduced by: Rob ModenMusic by: Jacob OllivierTruthtanic cover artist: Heather LundriganGirl Historians cover artist: Nicola Lyttlev3.01Have suggestions or feedback?
