Bonus! - Avatar

We’re wrapping up the year the same way we started it: with an overblown, overrated James Cameron mega-blockbuster - courtesy of Patron Jamie Russell. Listen to Alex & Julio give AVATAR the Contrarians Treatment and welcome Charismatic Enigma Sam Worthington back on the show! Also: what did Giovanni Ribisi do to get stuck with all that exposition? Could you tell Sigourney Weaver wanted to drop an F-bomb in every scene? And why does Jimmy-C get a pass when it comes to rewriting history? All this, and more… IN 3D!!!!
