Episode 152 - Avatar

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
