About this listen
This week, Christy and Danielle dive into Ella McCay and Avatar: Fire and Ash, two films that could not be more different in tone, scope, or execution.
First up: Ella McCay, James L. Brooks’ long-awaited return.
A stacked cast, a messy political backdrop, and a whole lot of subplots. Christy breaks down why the film never quite comes together, what worked, what dragged, and why even Jamie Lee Curtis couldn't save the story.
Then it's off to Pandora for Avatar: Fire and Ash. A visual powerhouse with James Cameron’s signature world-building, massive action, and breathtaking detail.
Christy and Danielle unpack the familiar story beats, the new Ash People, the layered villains, the themes of grief, connection, and colonization, and whether this chapter reinvents the franchise or deepens it.
Whether you’re into political dramedies, big-budget sci-fi, or just want to know what’s worth your time, this episode has you covered.
