Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew as we're heading to Pandora without nearly enough time to mourn as we review Avatar in the wake of its upcoming sequel, Avatar: The Way of Water. We're learning not to doubt the creative vision of James Cameron to reach a bankable conclusion in our 152nd episode as we discuss:
- The clear inspiration behind the source material
- Who was the first choice to play Jake Sully and how much did refusing this film cost him
- Why are there so many links to LOST in this film
- Does Michelle Rodriguez ever play against type?
- Looking back, how do we feel about the 3D fad that was the early 2010s
- What's the deal with the tail sex? Is this a Mandela effect or did it really happen?
- Ian mixes up two actors in an unlikely mistake
- Would this have been a different review if it had happened in 2009?
- We discuss more football (from both sides of the pond) and celebrate a pretty big milestone for us
- Whether or not Avatar is the Best Film Ever
