Episode 152 - Avatar - a podcast by Movie Podcast

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
