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.

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. We delved into her journey, defying early expectations during her upbringing by pursuing a creative professional life instead, leading her to studying architecture at @bartlettarchucl (2024 will be her fifth and final year of study). We explored her passion for @starwars and newfound love for @dunemovie, her exciting collaboration with @empiremagazine and @wbpictures / @legendary, and much more. A shared appreciation for 'Art Attack' and the importance of maintaining an eclectic and balanced perspective in a world of extremes was discovered, fast friendships were made, and an open horizon of future @topicarchives conversations looms for all involved. • Morocco Relief: https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/morocco-earthquake-relief-fund/ Libya Relief: https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/libya-flood-relief-fund/ Nada: https://www.nadamaktari.com https://www.x.com/nadamaktari https://www.instagram.com/maktariarchitecture https://www.linkedin.com/in/nadamaktari https://issuu.com/nadamaktari/docs/barc009_23_ht01_maktarinada_the_future_of_brutalis https://issuu.com/bartlettarchucl/docs/bartlett_summer_show_book_2023 Show: https://www.albertchessa.com/producing https://www.instagram.com/dunepodcast https://www.x.com/dunepodcast • Dune is a foundational science fiction universe created in 1965 by Frank Herbert, with strong elements of mythology, ontology, mysticism, religion, politics, existentialism, philosophy, ecology and more. • We have a special request for our listeners.
