Podcast appearances and mentions of James Cameron

Avatar sempre foi sinônimo de espetáculo visual. Mas em 2025, isso ainda basta?Em Avatar: Fogo e Cinzas, James Cameron entrega mais um marco técnico — imagens grandiosas, mundos impressionantes e uma experiência pensada para a tela grande.O problema é outro: o roteiro acompanha esse impacto?Um debate sem hype e sem ódio gratuito — só análise, cinema e pergunta incômoda.

Amy & Paul upload their consciousness into 2009's otherworldly sci-fi spectacle Avatar! They confirm the concept of ‘unobtanium' wasn't invented by the film, learn which movie stars were up for the role of Jake Sully, and ask themselves why they feel protective of director James Cameron. Plus: did Cameron really insist the Na'Vi need to have breasts?

Feliz Na'vi Dads  Pandora will be turned into Fire and Ash if Giovanni Ribisi and Edie Falco learn the secret to breathing the planet's toxic air from feral human Spider (Jack Champion). Can adoptive father Sam Worthington protect “monkey boy” from being reclaimed by bio-parent Stephen Lang, or getting whacked by his grieving wife Zoe Saldana?  And who exactly gave birth to 76-year-old “teenager” Sigourney Weaver? Sullys never quit, but James Cameron might if audiences don't join Arnie, Marjorie, and Stuart in theaters for the conclusion of the Avatar trilogy. Listen Now!

This week on The Jock and Nerd Podcast, we dive deep into James Cameron's long-awaited sequel with our full spoiler review of Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025). Before heading to Pandora, we break down the latest Avengers: Doomsday teaser strategy, react to new trailers including Disclosure Day and The Odyssey, and discuss major industry headlines... The post JAN 620: Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) Review – Avengers: Doomsday Teaser (12/24/25) appeared first on The Jock and Nerd Podcast.

It's a year end, clocked out episode with Burke joining the show for holiday traditions, Christmas movie rotations, and why Christmas Vacation hits different the older you get. Then it's straight into the biggest geek headlines: the Avengers: Doomsday chatter around Steve Rogers, Christopher Nolan taking on The Odyssey (and why it feels built for IMAX), and the latest Superman casting talk with Lars Ettinger reportedly stepping in as Brainiac. The back half is a full, spoiler heavy review of Avatar: Fire and Ashes, covering the new faction dynamics, how the family story lands this time, Varang's presence as a villain, Quaritch's shifting loyalties, and what the ending sets up for what's next. Timestamps and Topics 00:00:00 Intro and holiday vibe check with Burke 00:00:51 Christmas decorating habits, movie rotation, and Vacation franchise talk 00:03:49 Avengers: Doomsday discussion and the Steve Rogers reaction 00:08:59 Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey trailer breakdown and IMAX hype 00:14:04 Superman talk, Lars Ettinger as Brainiac, and story hopes 00:17:34 Avatar: Fire and Ashes review begins (full spoilers) 00:27:35 Varang breakdown, motivations, and the darker mirror of "I see you" 00:33:27 Kiri's bigger role, the spiritual threads, and what it could mean next 00:41:44 Nitpicks, repetition talk, and the voice casting complaint 00:46:09 Scores, theater recommendation, and looking ahead Key Takeaways The episode starts relaxed and holiday coded, then shifts into big franchise conversation fast. The Avengers: Doomsday segment focuses on bringing Steve Rogers back without flattening Sam Wilson's space in the story. The Odyssey trailer has the crew excited for Nolan going mythic on a massive, grounded scale made for premium screens. Brainiac feels like a smart follow up villain for Superman, especially if the story ties power to personal stakes and Krypton lore. Avatar: Fire and Ashes hits harder emotionally this time, with Spider's place in the family and Neytiri's growth standing out. The main knocks are a few familiar Avatar beats repeating, even if the spectacle still wins. Memorable Quotes "This is very much Christmas Vacation. We are clocked out." "At the end of the day, I'm just happy to have Steve Rogers back." "How do they keep making perfect movies?" "You're basically following a dead man's memories." "I see you in that mirror." "I felt like the Colonel when I was just sitting there staring at her."

This week Sean and Jeff talk about James Cameron's strange press tour. The director of Avatar has trouble letting go of perceived slights, pettily trying to settle scores only he cares about. Actor James Ransone has died Avatar: Fire and Ash Directed by James Cameron Starring Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Kate Winslet, Sigourney Weaver The conflict on Pandora escalates as Jake and Neytiri's family encounter a new, aggressive Na'vi tribe. The Housemaid Directed by Paul Feig Starring Amanda Seyfried, Sydney Sweeney, and Brandon Sklenar Hoping for a fresh start, a young woman becomes a live-in maid for a wealthy couple who harbour sinister secrets. Classic The Hand that Rocks the Cradle Directed by Curtis Hanson Starring Rebecca DeMornay, Annabella Sciorra When she was assaulted by her doctor, Claire Bartel (Annabella Sciorra) reported him to the police, and rather than go to prison for his crime, he killed himself. The shock of the accusations and suicide caused the doctor's pregnant wife, Peyton (Rebecca De Mornay), to have a miscarriage. Driven mad with rage, Peyton poses as a nanny for the Bartel family. Her plan: to tear Claire's life apart, seduce her husband (Matt McCoy) and eventually murder the woman she blames for ruining her life.

Deck the halls with boughs of... floating embers? This week, The Filmlosophers gather for a holiday episode that feels more like a fever dream than a silent night. Hosts Eddie and Spencer, joined by Intern Manager/Managing Intern Amy, attempt to navigate the dizzying spectacle of James Cameron's latest over-produced and over-complicated sci-fi epic, Avatar: Fire and Ash. The crew shares their full and genuinely confused thoughts on the volcanic "Ash People," the endless tech-specs, and whether Cameron has finally disappeared too far into his own motion-capture abyss. Before they escape the fires of Pandora, the team settles in for a cozy (and slightly heated) conversation about the unconventional Christmas films that define their holidays. While the group finds common ground on the high-rise heroics of Die Hard and the animated emotional gut-punch of Tokyo Godfathers, the festive spirit hits a speed bump when Amy takes the mic. She meticulously lays out her bizarrely passionate case for why the PTSD-fueled, explosive journey of Tony Stark in Iron Man 3 is a quintessential Christmas movie that belongs alongside Rudolph and Frosty. It's an episode full of holiday cheer, blockbuster bewilderment, and armor-plated arguments. So pull up a chair, grab your popcorn and tinsel, and tune in to this week's special holiday episode of The Filmlosophers!

Avatar: Fire and Ash is a 2025 American epic science fiction film directed by James Cameron, who co-wrote the screenplay with Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver from a story the trio wrote with Josh Friedman and Shane Salerno. Distributed by 20th Century Studios and produced by Lightstorm Entertainment, it is the sequel to Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) and the third installment in the Avatar franchise. Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, and Kate Winslet reprise their roles from the previous films.Cameron, who had stated in mid-2006 that he would like to make sequels to Avatar (2009) if it was successful, announced the first two sequels in early 2010 following the success of the first film, with the then-untitled Avatar 3 aiming for a December 2015 release. However, the addition of two more sequels (four in total), and the development of new technology required to film performance capture scenes underwater, a feat never accomplished before, led to significant delays to allow the crew more time to work on the writing, pre-production, and visual effects. Avatar: Fire and Ash started shooting simultaneously with The Way of Water in New Zealand on September 25, 2017; filming completed in late December 2020, after over three years of shooting. With an estimated budget of over $400 million, it is one of the most expensive films ever made. The film is dedicated to editor John Refoua, who died in 2023, and producer Jon Landau, who died in 2024.Avatar: Fire and Ash had its world premiere at Dolby Theatre, Hollywood, on December 1, 2025, and was released theatrically in the United States on December 19, and has grossed $347.3 million. Critics praised the visuals, characters, performances, and action sequences, though many were divided on the plot, screenplay, and runtime.[b] Two additional sequels, Avatar 4 and Avatar 5, are in various stages of production and are scheduled to be released in 2029 and 2031, respectively.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

061 - Avatar: Fire and Ash, Dir. James Cameron James Cameron is a director who has made some of the biggest films of his time.  The Terminator, Aliens. Terminator 2, True Lies, The Abyss, and Titanic, to name some.  Avatar (2009) became one of the biggest box office successes in history with its sequel, Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) doing almost as well.  2025 brings us the newest installment, Fire and Ash- a rehashed story form the first two films and a smaller opening weekend.  is this Avatar fatigue?  Or simply the results of a movie that is not as good as expected? 0:00:00 - Introductions and Banter 0:07:45 - Box Office  0:11:00 - Trailer - Avengers: Doomsday (2026) 0:22:45 - Movie Recommendation- The Terminator, Dir.

Roz reveals the shocking number of Zoom tabs he has open (spoiler: it's wild). Plus, Roz is already stressed about Christmas 2026, Shem's family brutally decides who's naughty or nice, and we revisit Patti LaBelle's legendary holiday performance fail. Maurie chats with the cast of the new SpongeBob movie and James Cameron about the latest Avatar adventure. We also talk worst ways to wake up, and share a heartwarming story about a woman who married the officer who once searched for her. All that and more in this packed episode!

Welcome back to another hour of digital cynicism. We kick things off with a FOLLOW UP on Amazon's Fallout recaps, which were apparently so hallucination-heavy they made the actual wasteland look organized; naturally, they've been nuked along with the "Video Recaps" feature. In a massive dose of IN THE NEWS, Tesla is finally getting a legal side-eye in California for its deceptive "Autopilot" branding, while TikTok is performing a corporate shell game by selling a 45% stake to Oracle and friends to keep the feds happy. Reddit is fighting Australia's under-16 ban like it's a constitutional crisis, Louisiana's age-verification law just got benched by a judge, and Merriam-Webster officially crowned "slop" as the Word of the Year—which is fitting, given that OpenAI is selectively hiding chat logs from murder-suicides while their Chief Scientist warns that recursive AI self-improvement might end the human experiment by 2030. If the "intelligence explosion" doesn't get us, the CRASH Clock says we've got roughly 2.8 days before Elon's satellite swarm turns low-earth orbit into a permanent scrapyard.In our MEDIA CANDY segment, we mourn the transition year of Star Trek, which was mostly a series of unmitigated disasters and corporate retreats, though the Oscars moving to YouTube in 2029 means we can finally ignore them in 4K. Meta is testing a "pay-to-share-links" feature because they clearly haven't alienated creators enough, and a new study suggests Amazon's "dynamic pricing" is basically just a high-tech way to gouge public school districts for pencils. Moving to APPS & DOODADS, iOS 26.2 is here with a "Liquid Glass" slider—groundbreaking stuff, really—while Microsoft's Copilot+ push is effectively killing the laptop market by making 16GB of RAM a luxury item only a data center could love. Meanwhile, iRobot has officially sucked its last bit of dust into a Chapter 11 filing, proving that even a twenty-year head start can't save you from a 46 percent tariff and better Chinese competition.AT THE LIBRARY, we find out that librarians are ready to quit because people keep demanding books that only exist in a ChatGPT hallucination, proving once again that the "Information Age" was a lie. We descend into THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE with the tireless Dave Bittner to discuss why modern movies feel like plastic, the bizarre paradox of James Cameron's Avatar dominance, and a bittersweet farewell to Rob Reiner. We wrap it up with the return of The Muppets, a look at plug-in solar panels for the budget-conscious prepper, and the Sedaris siblings proving that even grief can be a podcast topic.
