Unsinkable: A New Play + Lots of Bruce Ismay, with Writer Matthew Reynolds.

[upbeat music] All right, we are here with Matt to discuss, I guess, Unsinkable meets Unsinkable.

It's sort of [laughs]...

I, you know, in the Titanic world, it's, it makes a lot of sense to use that title, so we share a title, don't we?

Yeah.

Thank you for not setting your lawyers on me.

I was glad not to be getting a, a kind-

[laughs]

... of legal warning for stealing your title.

[laughs]

Oh, gosh, no.

I, you know, a, um, a funny story is that years ago, I had, there's a podcast called Titanic Scene by Scene, or no, Titanic Minute, where they actually deconstruct the movie minute by minute, and it's been done for a few years, but it, it's a great podcast if people haven't listened to it.

It's still up.

And I had the guys who ran that podcast on my show 'cause I just thought it was so fun, and they had a newsletter, um, called That Sinking Feeling, and I was like, "That is genius." And I asked them during the interview, I said, "Can I use that for something, or you feel, you feel ownership over that?" So I do have on record them saying, "No, you can have it." So [laughs] I said that-

[laughs]

...

but I was like, that, in that situation, I was like, "Man, that's so good.

I wanna use it." But, um, no, Unsinkable is just part of the, I feel like the Titanic sort of whole lexicon.

It's just one of our phrases.

So, um, I, I'm really thrilled to have you here today, and I wanna give people a chance to understand who you are, what you're working on.
