We were fish before we were wolves, no?

Also love that military guys do the valley girl thing of shortening words unnecessarily. From the first Avatar: “That’s when the ‘dozers get in.” Yeah totes bestie.

Finally saw this. Made me miss growing up in Florida. We used to swim out to the mile markers in the intracoastal and jump off. Also, some bridge jumping on special occasions. There isn’t much of that in Austin. Swam in shoal creek when it was flooding once but that rarely happens/ is not generally a great thing for the potable water supply when it does.

I finally saw it, so I finally listed to this ep. I’m glad you guys had the same inkling about Quaritch “converting” to Na’avi. You saw little glimmers of compassion returning to him in his interactions with Spider. I also liked how Quaritch had his turn becoming “baby” and having to learn the native ways. His deconversion will probably take longer than Jake’s because his brain was fried more severely by his time as a Marine.

I feel like the role of Payakan was meant for Will. Lost opportunity.

Saw it last night, I really hope this makes a difference

Jonathan Szerszen

I feel like iv been gas lit into watching this movie

elon *snap* half his money disappears

In what Marvel movie is US capitalist extraction explicitly identified as the cause of global destruction? In what movie do the avengers ever directly confront and destroy the US military? There’s the difference, it’s not hard to see

Elliot Matheny

Did you hear Sullys sons just dropped an album on SoundCloud? Sick.

I saw a leaked script of Part 3 and it is revealed that Spider and Kiri are siblings. And yeah, the father is Quaritch…

bwen

Love it. Do “The Menu” next.

One of the best and most uplifting episodes of Chapo. Felt like a sermon but in a good way.

Ryan Palm

Just watched it for the second time and it’s even better. Fully intend to see it in all available formats and from many different positions in the theater

Something I noticed when watching was the way they portrayed the environments of pandora depending on who we were watching. When we saw the Navi in the jungle, the jungle was full of bright lights and colorful pulsating plant and animal life. When the operator bros are in the jungle, it's the dark, oppressive jungle of a Nam movie. The same thing happens in the whale's mouth. The second son goes in and it's a beautiful, psychodelic place of wonder. The whalers go in the mouth later and it's a cold and dead corpse.

James Cameron funds the podcast.

I wish I could see Avatar the way the boys do, but it's really no different from an MCU movie to me. I don't have the Cameron delusion, I'm sorry

Vivian Irby

Shouts out to everyone who knew the exact Indian commercial Felix was talking about.

Dick Wolf

The presence of colorism among the Na’vi was hilarious. Was holding out for the kids of the water and forest tribe to start hurling slurs at each other.

Alexander Patterson

WTF, a eulogy for Gangsta Boo but no mention of Jeremiah Green? The Lonesome Crowded West was the start of my journey from liberal Catholic to moron teenage atheist libertarian to moron atheist liberal to now moron baby leftist.

CoatCheckDream

Agreed with everything about Avatar2, but Glass Onion was also good
