About this episode
This week we are popping the cork on a massive milestone—it’s our 250th Episode! To celebrate this quarter-thousand mark, we are traveling back to Pandora for the highly anticipated third chapter in James Cameron’s epic saga, Avatar: Fire and Ash. We’ll discuss how the visual effects continue to push the boundaries of what we thought was possible on the big screen.
Since it’s our big anniversary, we’re also taking a moment to look back at the most influential films in cinema history—the game-changers that defined genres, broke the box office, and inspired us to start this podcast 250 episodes ago. From the original Avatar to the classics that paved the way, we’re celebrating the power of the moving image.
To match the volcanic intensity of the new film and the gravity of our 250th show, we’re shaking up a drink that’s as bold as a banshee flight: The Smoke and Ash. This cocktail features a base of Mezcal for that signature earthy fire. It’s a complex, smoldering drink that’s perfect for a deep dive into the fires of Pandora.
So, grab your 3d glasses, connect your Avatar, and get ready to raise a massive toast to 250 episodes of Drink the Movies!
