Draw me like one of your French girls...

This week, Emily finally introduces Tracie to the pop culture juggernaut Titanic, which the elder Guy sister somehow completely missed. Even in 1997, Emily appreciated how the spectacle, costumes, special effects, and even the storytelling serve writer and director James Cameron's purpose, because the rich girl/poor boy romance allows us to see the entire ship.

But Cameron's purpose doesn't seem to amount to anything more than "this is a thing that happened." Like Cameron's occasional pop culture examination of social class, feminism, and mental health within the 3+ hour runtime, the film shows us things that happened with no moral, thesis, or commentary. Which is why Emily appreciates a fan theory that Jack is actually a trans man. This puts a different spin on the relationship, turning Jack from a Manic Pixie Dream Boy who is practically perfect to a kindred spirit who understands being trapped by society.

No matter your opinion about Jack's ability to fit on that door, throw on your headphones and take a listen!
