Summary
The lads welcome John Nicholson back to the show to celebrate the return of Big Jim Cameron to theaters with the hotly-anticipated Avatar: Fire and Ash . We talk first Cameron experiences and the cultural landscape at the time of the original Avatar 's release, how Way of Water and Fire and Ash have cemented it as the sci-fi-saga of the 21st century, and why Oona Chaplin's Varang is Mommy.
