That's right my friends it's time for another episode of the LAMBcast, the official podcast of the Large Association of Movie Blogs. After a long absense, Mike Mendez of Big Mikes Movie Blog is back, taking over hosting duties and leading us in a round-table review of James Cameron's sci-fi epic Avatar, the film where everything has three dimensions...except for the characters.
Our discussion covers everything from the groundbreak special effects, not so ground breaking story, irksome plot-holes, James Cameron's racial politics, middle America's discomfort with alien nudity as well as the varying clothes and hair stylings of the Na'vi. And after that, we dive into an edition of trailer talk that goes for so long it actually rivals Avatar's running time. You can find links to all of the trailers discussed below.
The Sorcerer's Apprentice
Death at a Funeral (remake)
The Karate Kid (remake)
Cop Out
Hot Tub Time Machine
Knight and Day
Date Night
Valentine's Day
Inception
The Bounty Hunter
Repo Men
Kick-Ass (red band)
Aside from Mike and myself, this episode also featured returning LAMBcasters Nick Jobe of Random Ramblings of a Dememented Doorknob, Travis McCollum of The Movie Encyclopedia and Dylan Fields of Blog Cabins. You can listen to this and previous editions of the LAMBcast via the widget in the sidebar, or you can subscribe to us in iTunes; just search for "lambcast". And while you're there, why not leave a review saying how awesome we are?
Also stay tuned for the soon to be released next episode, in which we break down our Top 10 films of 2009
