Luca with Zoë Rose Bryant

Titanic with The Bechdel Cast

Jordan and Brooke are joined by Caitlin Durante and Jamie Loftus (The Bechdel Cast) to discuss the biggest and best blockbuster of them all.

We dive into filmmaker Celine Sciamma's love for this film's freeing subtext, Leo's androgynous look that awakened us all, Rose defying gender norms, Cal's campy villain performance, and gay icon Kathy Bates (aka the Unsinkable Molly Brown).Follow us on Twitter and IG!
