Ever wondered what "Avatar" and "FernGully" might chat about if they bumped into each other in the great forest of film history? Prepare to have that curiosity sated as we embark on a cinematic safari, tracking the conceptual footprints that I believe could link these two eco-conscious tales. Our journey begins by examining the shared environmental themes and transformative experiences of their protagonists, without casting aspersions of imitation. Instead, we celebrate the voice talents, like the incomparable Robin Williams and Tim Curry, who breathe life into these narratives. Our discussion isn't just confined to the silver screen; we also pay homage to Curry's remarkable legacy in light of his health challenges, acknowledging the indelible mark he's left on the hearts of film enthusiasts.
This episode isn't just a stroll down memory lane; it's an invitation to look at these films through a different lens, to see the intricate web of narratives that may connect them all. We weigh the possibility, ponder the evidence, and above all, invite you to join the conversation and share your perspectives on this tantalising theory.
We also stretch our imaginations a bit further. What if I told you that there's a theory that there's a chance all of James Cameron's films are subtly intertwined within a single, grand universe?
As we meander through the thematic undergrowth of "Avatar," we can't help but notice the tendrils that could potentially link it to other Cameron classics like "Aliens" and "Titanic."

4.12 /// Sunshine in a person - Cat's story of 'Love, Loss & Life' [Guest Episode] Feat. Cat Part 1
TODAYS EPISODE DEALS WITH LOSS AND GRIEF AND COULD BE TRIGGERING. SPEAK TO A HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL IF YOU ARE AFFECTED BY THE THEME IN THIS EPISODE.
Or watch on YouTube
When the fabric of our lives is torn by the loss of a loved one, the tapestry of our existence is forever altered. I discovered this poignant truth through my conversation with Cat, a woman whose strength and openness during our latest podcast left an indelible mark on my heart. We journey together through the intricate pathways of her life, from the upheaval of relocating and enduring a divorce, to the serendipitous connection with Jon, a British Transport Police Officer. Their story is one of love blossoming in the most unexpected places, reminding us that even in the midst of personal tribulations, profound bonds can be formed.
Jon a celebrated hero and who was graced with royal commendation, after his part as a first responder in the Manchester bombing suffered an unexpected health event during COVID that he was unable to pull through, leaving Cat alone grieving.
Our discussion is a raw and honest reflection on the solitude that grief so often imposes, magnified by the isolating protocols of a world gripped by pandemic. The abrupt loss of Cat's partner in the sterile silence of a hospital corridor, leaving with nothing but a bag of his belongings, is a harrowing reminder of the fragility of life.
Through her narrative, we uncover the silent strength required to navigate the aftermath of sudden departure, the courage to voice our pain, and the grace to carry forward the laughter and joy of those we have cherished and lost. Together, we embrace the narrative of moving onward, with our memories as both a shield and a beacon.
This episode is dedicated to Jon, who was Cat's 'Sunshine in a person'.

4.14 /// Living with grief - Cat's story of 'Love, Loss & Life' [Guest Episode] Feat. Cat Part 2
Grief is a journey that none of us are prepared for, yet it’s a path many of us will walk. Cat's story is a raw and honest portrayal of navigating the rough seas of loss, and it's one that resonates deeply. Our heartfelt conversation peels back the layers of her experience, from the initial paralysis of losing her partner, Jon, to the challenges of everyday life, Cat's story exemplifies the resilience that can emerge from the depths of sorrow.
The legal and practical side of losing a loved one is often an overlooked conversation topic until it's thrust upon us. Cat shares her experience following the passing of her partner, Jon, and the complications of managing an estate without a will. We explore the importance of proactive discussions about end-of-life wishes, and how crafting a will can spare families additional stress during grievous times. We discuss the myriad ways we can honour our loved ones, extending the conversation beyond conventional memorials.
We discuss how our Irish cultural nuances have shaped our understanding of loss and the importance of conversation in the healing process. Sharing stories of those who have left us, like a friend whose laughter remains a vivid memory, we discover the power of embracing the full spectrum of emotions in honouring our cherished ones.
Join us as we explore these stories, affirming that through sharing, we find solace and a path to move forward together.
