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.

Before we go forward, let us look back on the masterpiece that started it all... • When legions of monstrous creatures known as Kaiju rise from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity's resources for years on end. To fight back, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots called Jaegers, controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are connected via a neural bridge, called The Drift. But in the face of a relentless enemy, even the mighty Jaegers are proving nearly defenceless. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes — a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi) — who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind's last hope against the mounting apocalypse. • We have a special request for our listeners.

My conversation with @maktariarchitecture was truly captivating.
