    Albert gives his analysis on the teaser for 'Avatar: The Way of Water'. • Avatar is a multimedia universe centred on the indigenous peoples of the distant planet of Pandora, a reality-based paracosm created by filmmaker-engineer-activist James Cameron. Taking inspiration from (and ultimately acting as a paean to) our own earth and its many First Nations cultures, Avatar promotes 'artivism' (activism through art) to inspire changes in how we treat ourselves, others, and the planet. It is one of the most successful media properties ever, including films, interactive experiences, books, music, attractions, and more. • We have a special request for our listeners.

    In this fascinating interview and Q&A session, we dive deep into the making of the critically acclaimed horror film, The Witch, with three of its key players: Anya Taylor-Joy, Ralph Ineson, and Robert Eggers. Anya Taylor-Joy, who plays the lead character Thomasin in the movie, takes us on a journey through her experience of embodying a character who is torn between her family and her own desires, amidst the eerie and unsettling atmosphere of the 17th-century New England wilderness. Ralph Ineson, who portrays Thomasin's father, William, shares his insights on the film's exploration of the intersection of religious fanaticism and family dynamics, as well as his experiences working with goats, who play a crucial role in the movie's haunting imagery. Director Robert Eggers provides a rare glimpse into his creative process and how he crafted the film's tense and unsettling atmosphere, drawing inspiration from real historical accounts of witchcraft and meticulously researching and recreating the details of a bygone era. Together, the trio provides an intriguing and thought-provoking look into the making of a modern horror classic that has captivated audiences and critics alike. From the psychological depths of the characters to the intricacies of the film's production, this interview and Q&A has it all, and is not to be missed by fans of the genre.

    ‘Mars. The Red Planet. Its true name…is Barsoom.' ☄️ On the first episode of The Barsoom Podcast, producer Albert Chessa delves into his boundless (and, as the years pass, ever-increasing) kinship with Edgar Rice Burroughs' genre-pioneering work, without which the likes of Star Wars, Star Trek, Avatar, Dune, Valerian and even The Lord of the Rings would either never have happened, or become as popular they did, by making liberal use of its source material: concepts, aesthetics and themes that went on to shape our popular culture as as we know it (e.g. Jeddak/Jedi). With 2012's underrated masterpiece as our springboard, we'll examine one minute at a time, exploring a range of related and adjacent subjects and tangents, analysing each frame's symbolic and formal qualities, and speculating on what Barsoom's future may hold. Albert ponders on the sheer weight of responsibility that writer-director Andrew Stanton — a future guest of the show, Issus-willing (along with Michael Giacchino, Lynn Collins, Taylor Kitsch, Bryan Cranston, Thomas Haden Church, Ryan Church, Michael Kutsche, Vance Kovacs and many more) — his crew, and his cast must have felt during development, draws parallels and highlights polarities with the current reception of Dune, and concludes with a preview of the multi-year audiovisual journey that awaits listeners and viewers of the show going forward. A special thanks to Bill Corso, creator of Barsoom's intricate traditional cultural patterns and Academy Award-winning makeup designer, for your kind support. We look forward to having you on the show some day soon. This episode is dedicated to friend-of-the-show Icechewer21 — its Jasoomians like you who are the reason I have faith we'll all return to Barsoom some day soon.

    Podcast #324 - A New Start

    Clocking in at 2 hours and 3 minutes, Episode 2 - ‘A New Start' is an appreciation-deepening, knowledge-enhancing and hype/childhood joy-unleashing deep-dive into and celebration of Ghostbusters, and many adjacent/additive tangent topics as well. I certainly took so much away from deliberately sitting down with, parsing through, really absorbing and discovering new perspectives on this material, and for anyone watching/listening along, I hope you do too. We wove in commentary on Greg Miller's inspiring integration of GB's ethos, spirit of friendship, believing in oneself and conquering the odds into his life throughout the episode; YHS Podcast and The Crossrip get major shout outs too, for being who you are and doing what you do. Though Australia will be seeing it in January, it doesn't matter: the true potential of this universe is finally being realised, and I couldn't be happier. ghostbusters.com albertchessa.com --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/albertchessa/message
