BYOB: Titanic, Twisters and More Long Legs

I'm flying Jack. Nothing dodgy... just absolutely buzzing off the back of another wonderful episode of BYOB podcast where today we're sailing back through time to dive beneath the surface into the depths of the wonderful: Titanic.


Let's get into the breakdown very quickly... Ben's been to the cinema a couple of times this week, so we've got reviews of 'Twisters' featuring Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar Jones. We ask the eternal question: 'Are you having...' and this week we're asking 'Are you having Glen Powell' after his turn in Twisters. Jack and Ben delve into your comments on Long Legs (now that Ben's finally caught up)


Then onto the main event, zipping back in time to stretch our legs and jump aboard 'Titanic'. Want to feel old? It came out in 1997. Blergh.


Two wonderful performances at the heart of the film, we explore the chemistry between Leonardo Di Caprio and Kate Winslet. We look at the beautiful bad guy-ness of Billy Zane. We discuss what it must have been like for those that survived the sinking of Titanic as well as the way in which the film suckers us into a Romeo and Juliet tale whilst subtly slamming us all right into an iceberg.


Sorry to spoil this for you... but it's aged amazingly. It's amazing. Like, brilliant.


Enjoy the pod and let us know what you think - ratings and reviews very much appreciated, @byobpod on the socials.
