This week on FyC hosts Dustin and Mike take a deep dive on James Cameron's 1997 romantic disasterpiece, Titanic. Today marks the 20th anniversary of the American theatrical release of the film and we decided to commemorate the occasion by discussing the film on the podcast. Will we sink Titanic like an iceberg or deem it a masterpiece like so many prepubescent teens in the late '90s before us? You'll have to listen to the show to find out.

How on earth (or any other planet) was James Cameron's 2009 film "Avatar" nominated for 9 Oscars and how is it currently the highest-grossing movie of all time? This movie doesn't brand itself as an animated film, even though it is, and somehow it won the Oscar for Best Cinematography. Weird. And, as everyone knows, this movie is a huge ripoff of tons of other stuff. It's amazing how many we were able to come up with.

Sam Worthington plays Jake Sully, a Marine whose mission is to infiltrate the natives to help destroy them, but he joins them instead. Sounds familiar. Zoë Saldana plays Neytiri, a strong independent blue woman in line to lead her clan. Sigourney Weaver plays Grace Augustine, a brash no-nonsense scientist who smokes cigarettes 150 years from now. Michelle Rodriquez plays, well, herself, basically.

We didn't think it was possible for a movie to get us to say the words "horse" and "rape" more than the movie "Casablanca" did, but we were wrong.

The Magnificent Seven.

Running Time: 34 minutes 36 seconds

The movie world lost a great talent last year when James Horner passed away unexpectedly. In addition to composing the scores for Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khanand Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, Horner wrote the music for such films asBraveheart, Apollo 13, and what many consider to be his masterpiece, Titanic. Last week, his final score was released for Antoine Fuqua's The Magnificent Seven.

In this episode of Stage Nine, Mike and John take a look at Horner's work on the film. We discuss the movie itself, Horner's music, and how the score came to be.

Horner, Part 2: Titanic.

In 1997, James Cameron's Titanic was the king of the world. It shattered box office records and won eleven Oscars, including Best Picture. Two of those Oscars went to James Horner for his work on both the score and the song "My Heart Will Go On".

In this episode of Commentary: Trek Stars, Mike and John take a look at what is arguably the crowning achievement of Horner's career. We discuss our thoughts on Titanic on the whole, the score in particular, and, of course, that song. We also look at other highlights of Horner's career, including Aliens, Apollo 13, Braveheart, Willow, and his final film, Southpaw.

Horner, Part 1: Trek.

In an attempt to differentiate from Star Trek: The Motion Picture, and perhaps save a little money at the same time, the producers of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan hired a new composer. James Horner was a young talent just starting to make his name in the business. No one knew that he would go on to win two Oscars, leaving  his sonic stamp on the musical landscape.

In this episode of Commentary: Trek Stars, John and Mike are joined by John Tenuto to discuss Horner's work in Star Trek. We look at what led him to The Wrath of Khan, why he stayed for The Search for Spock, and why he did not return for future installments. We also review the new Star Wars novel, Dark Disciple. Because why not?
