This is our spoiler-free review for Avatar: Fire and Ash. We return to Pandora to discuss the film's breathtaking visuals, massive scale, and the performances of key characters like Jake Sully and Neytiri, while also unpacking where it falls short. Despite its undeniable spectacle, the story leans heavily on familiar themes and conflicts, offering little meaningful progression, and the dialogue often feels clunky and on-the-nose. We also touch on how the focus on human characters can detract from the richness of Pandora itself. Ultimately, Avatar: Fire and Ash is stunning to watch, but leaves us wanting more from its storytelling.Avatar: Fire and Ash, the third film in the phenomenally successful “Avatar” franchise, opens exclusively in theatres worldwide December 19, 2025.  Check out Geekcentric onYouTube | Instagram | Twitter | TikTokJoin the Geekcentric Discord HEREFollow Eatcentric - Same geeks.

The conversation dives into how a photo book of unconventional women inspired the film's unique tone, why Bergamin values emotional authenticity over polish, and the realities of getting an indie film released internationally. From the challenges of casting to the passion that drives low-budget filmmaking, this episode is a masterclass in storytelling with heart. Timestamps and Topics: 00:00 Getting settled and pronunciation check 06:24 Introduction to Pascal Bergamin and his film 07:00 What Portraits of Dangerous Women is really about 08:19 How a photo book sparked the idea 10:13 Humor, grief, and the tone of the story 12:54 Redefining what it means to be "dangerous" 14:23 The idea of a "quiet refusal to perform" 17:10 Assembling a standout cast on a tight budget 20:13 Building trust on set with time and space 23:00 The dog scene that brings everything together 25:17 Creating a world that's familiar but slightly surreal 26:55 How UK distribution led to the North American release 29:45 Adapting marketing strategies between countries 31:02 What Bergamin's learned from indie filmmaking 36:51 What's next after Portraits 38:45 Where to watch the film Key Takeaways: The film was inspired by a collection of amateur photos showing women being bold and mischievous, not criminal. Portraits of Dangerous Women blends humor, drama, and vulnerability to explore unexpected companionship. The title “dangerous” refers to unpredictability and spontaneity, not threat or violence. Casting was done without auditions, relying instead on careful collaboration and trust. With a small crew and limited resources, the film prioritized a relaxed and collaborative environment on set. Pascal continues to be deeply involved in the film's distribution and promotion, reflecting the hands-on nature of independent filmmaking. Quotes: “You don't have enough time to be nervous.” “They're not trying to be heroes. They're reacting to life as it comes.” “The danger is in not knowing what these women will do next.” “We didn't have trailers. We had trust.” Call to Action: Check out Portraits of Dangerous Women, available now in the U.S. and Canada starting July 10th. Find it on Amazon and other platforms—links in the description.

Mark Daumier uses over 14,000 comics in his curriculum, including creative assignments like comic-style reports. Comics like Watchmen and Dark Knight Returns are powerful but carefully used depending on student maturity. Star Wars, Captain America, and Spider-Man continue to resonate with students. The Vision series and Jocasta casting hint at deeper Marvel storytelling on the horizon. EA's canceled Black Panther game reflects broader industry issues. The Switch 2 launches with improvements but raises concerns about internet requirements. Original stories from Disney and Pixar are in demand more than retellings. Memorable Quotes: “If you read 20–25 comic books, that's the same as reading a novel.” — Mark Daumier “Comics help kids visualize what they're reading. That unlocks everything else.” — Mark Daumier “I was like, can I teach in your class now?” — Frank Lourence “Nintendo throws stuff at the wall to see what sticks. Sometimes they reinvent the industry.” — Squeaks Call to Action: Love what you heard? Subscribe to Geek Freaks on your favorite podcast platform and leave us a review.
