The Weekly Stuff Podcast #445 – The AVATAR Episode (The James Cameron movie, not the Nickelodeon show)

<p>After a trip to Sean’s Beta Corner to review the recent betas for Team Ninja’s <i>Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty </i>and Activision’s <i>Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II – Here We Go Again!, </i>Sean and Jonathan hop over to Pandora (the planet, not the music app) for a deep dive on <i>Avatar </i>(the James Cameron movie, not the Nickelodeon show). It’s been 13 years since the film took the entire world by storm, becoming the highest-grossing film in history, and the film’s reputation hasn’t aged very gracefully. We haven’t seen it since its original theatrical run, so how do we think it holds up now? We get into the special effects, the world-building, the story, the terrible dialogue, the extremely uncomfortable racial overtones, and much more in this wide-ranging, rewarding conversation.  </p><p>Enjoy!</p><p><strong>TIME CHART:</strong></p><p>Intro & Stuff: 0:00:00 – 0:10:15</p><p>Sean’s Beta Corner – Wo Long Fallen Dynasty: 0:10:15 – 0:18:00</p><p>Sean’s Beta Corner – Call of Duty Modern Warfare II: 0:18:00 – 0:41:46</p><p>Avatar: 0:41:46 – 2:58:39 </p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQBqje0qmCVn0WkCXJzckaA"><strong>Subscribe to our YouTube Channel!</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/japanimation-station-an-anime-podcast-with-jonathan/id1477001961"><strong>Subscribe to Japanimation</strong></a><strong> Station, our Anime Podcast!</strong></p><p><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/wgtc-radio-we-got-this-covered/id535584943"><strong>Subscribe for free to 'The Weekly Stuff' in Apple Podcasts!</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/JonathanLack"><strong>Follow Jonathan Lack on Twitter!</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/SeanTheChapman"><strong>Follow Sean Chapman on Twitter!</strong></a></p><p> </p>
