Avatar (2009) with Shaun from 'SIVAKO: Road to Avatar'

1 Recommendations

Sean is joined by Shaun from SIVAKO: Road to Avatar podcast to review Avatar (2009). To be honest, it's more of a discussion about the world of Avatar. Blame Sean.

Between the 30-60 minute mark, Sean and Shaun completely lose the plot! That's before Shaun brings up a vengeful elephant story. Sean then drags them back off-track by talking about football.

Discussion Points:

-Avatar's legacy.

-The passionate fan-base of the Avatar world.

-The current standard of superhero films (Sean can't help himself).

-Avatar: The Way of Water, the long-awaited sequel.

-James Cameron's direction of action scenes.

-The Final Destination (2009) and Journey to the Centre of the Earth (2007) were the other 3-D films that Sean felt used the technology really well. Not exactly the pinnacle of cinema, granted.

Random Questions:

-Has Avatar's legacy fallen? Did it ever really start?

-Were the video logs needed?

-Couldn't they come up with a better name than Unobtanium?

-The outstanding cinema experience of Avatar-Can it be replicated?

-Was has there never been a really good zombie film in 3-D?

-Have you ever listened to Friends without a laughter track?

-Would you watch an Awards Show with categories such as "Most Enthusiastic Laugh Track"?

-Will James Cameron sort out the dodgy CGI "Mud in feet" shot?

-Have the Marvel films become too big for their boots?

-When is Jaws 5: Deuce Bigalow being released?

Random Quotes of the episode: -"If nothing else, it's something fresh"-Sean on Avatar: The Way of the Water.

-"James Cameron isn't subtle when it comes to promoting a message"

-Shaun on the director's messaging in his films.

-"Sometimes less is more": A mantra Sean clearly doesn't apply to his own podcast.

-"This is when to laugh, thick people"-Sean on laughter tracks.

-"There is that niggling, pessimistic Northerner in my brain that thinks, maybe this is the film where it all falls apart for James Cameron"-Sean struggles to remove positive.

-"I feel that Avatar is James Cameron's most-treasured possession"-Shaun on the director's passion for this franchise.

-"Age him up"-Shaun wants Tom Holland to be made older in the MCU, for greater impact.

-"I don't know what I'd do if I supported a team who won every week, it would put me on edge!"-Football Talk.

Random Discussions Points:

-The state of modern TV shows, including: Stranger Things Season 4.

-Sean and Shaun did not see eye-to-eye on Alita: Battle Angel (2019).

-"The Last Train to Hiroshima"-one of James Cameron's upcoming projects!

Film Recommendations: -Ex Machina (2015). -The China Syndrome (1979) -Inception (2009) Random Films that we discuss: -The Batman (again-let it go) -Tenet (again-let it go)

Don't write James Cameron off!

Explain It Yourself 1: Ice Hockey with Jim from 'Film Rage'

2 Recommendations

When it comes to things beyond old England's shores, much like Josh Baskin in Big, Sean doesn't get it!Jim from Film Rage kindly returns to the podcast for the inaugural Explain It Yourself episode, to explain Ice Hockey, after a tangent about football.Admittedly, there is a lot which we don't discuss regarding Ice Hockey, but this is the first episode so Sean didn't think much about structure (out of character I know!)Discussion Points: -Regarding football, Sean isn't calling it soccer.-Ice hockey is part of Canada's identity. -You keep the sports team you were born with in England, and you don't change. This is not the same in Canada with hockey teams. Random Questions:-Why can't you support the same hockey team as your Dad in Canada?-How many players do you get on a hockey team?-Pickle ball? Wiffle Ball? Sean is completely lost. -How can you change YOUR team? -What does 'icing the puck' mean?-Is football violent in England? Sean is surprised that this is the impression of football in Canada and defends his sport. Random Quotes:-"Cover your ears Canada and get the sick bags ready"-"When someone says ice hockey, I think oh Jack Frost!"-"Pickle ball, is that a real thing?"-"You'll get a hot chocolate, a cup of tea, a cup of Bovril (a meaty drink), or a pint of cider and lager" at a football match.After Credits Shameless Plug:A promo for 'Sleeping with the Waffler'-from the guys (okay just Ben) who brought you FilmFloggers and Sopranos Redefined.*The football teams mentioned in the podcast were picked to highlight teams with derby rivalries-not in any way to insinuate that those teams fans are violent*
