Oel ngati kameie! Get zapped into a big blue cat alien body because today we are joined by comedian and actor Lance Oribello (he/him) on a journey through the paradise planet of Pandora to talk about AVATAR (the James Cameron one). We discuss the spectacle of the original movie, incredible feats of filmmaking technology, motion capture performances, the 'post-avatar' blues, peaceful life-affirming ecosystems and why the Na'vi are firmly opposed to the concept of wheels. Plus, we get in touch with Earth mother and learn a little bit of conversational Na'vi.

WITNESS ME! Today we are joined by guest co-host Jocelyn Geddie (she/her) who is lending her mechanical arm to our collective and metaphorical war rig, so we might interview our very own host Kyah Green (they/them) on one of their all time favourite films; MAD MAX FURY ROAD. We talk about outrageously detailed world-building, a disastrous production that never should have resulted in a finished film, death-defying stunts, sneaky feminism, what constitutes a 'plot' and why Kyah refers to this film as 'a violence ballet'. Plus, we play 'Smash or Be Smashed'! What a day! What a lovely day!
