We’re blue and we’re feeling all right. That’s right, we’re reviewing a James Cameron film for the first time on Cinemaholics! About time. Avatar: The Way of Water (or Avatar 2) is the sequel to Cameron’s titanic hit that wasn’t Titanic. Will it be the highest grossing movie of all time, just like its predecessor? We discuss the film’s story and buzzed-about spectacle effects, but we also kick off this week’s show with an extended segment about the “streaming wars.” Has the golden age of streaming ended? Let’s talk about it.
