Mike Veerman, host of “Mike on Much”, and pop culture aficionado Shane Cunningham, along with their long-time friend, award winning writer/director/producer (and MENSA member) Jonathan Popalis, all bring you “The Pedestal” podcast, presented by MUCH studios. Join them for a deep dive into some of the movies we all hold near dear to our hearts — and debate whether or not they really belong there. On each episode, the case is argued FOR and AGAINST a certain film standing the test of time, and is ultimately voted to either stay on the pedestal it’s been held up on ... or be kicked off of it.

In the final episode of season two, we jump if you jump with the 1997 James Cameron romantic epic TITANIC.
We’re joined by special guest Chloe Wilde (eTalk, Healthy is Hot Podcast) who first recounts why seeing this movie with her mom traumatized her as a kid (6:10). We then begin the case for keeping it on the pedestal with some love for Kathy Bates and Victor Garber (14:54) and James Horner’s celebrated score (17:46). We talk about how the special effects were ahead of their time (25:31), we all fawn over Leo (33:29), and Shane explains why he loves it when a loser turns out to be the cool guy (37:53). We move on to the case for knocking it off the pedestal with all the problems we had with Rose both young (41:22) and old (45:58). We dive deep into the “door” debate (52:42), and Chloe gripes about Billy Zane’s aggressively one note performance (1:03:57).
