avatar: the way of water

The August heat has not let up. Fortunately, neither has Special Topics in Media with its icebreaker mini-series, the 2023 Summer Movie Season. Host Garret Castleberry mics up with Kyle Hammonds to examine the cultural landscape of moviegoing. The shadow-and-light rhetors rev up a POD-A-THON! emphasis on big releases in June 2023. With so many features releasing from major studios, the hosts reveal which films were seen versus skipped, whether they recommend versus repress certain features, and ultimately defend against the dark(ened room) arts of summertime moviegoing. Among those on deck this week: Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and Kyle's delayed screening of Avatar:The Way of Water.

Hosts: Garret Castleberry, Kyle Hammonds

Producers: Garret Castleberry, Will McMurry (Audio Engineer), Alli Garner (Cover Art), Austin Foster (Music)

Recommended screenings:
Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers, & Justin K. Thompson (Directors). Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse [Film]. USA: Sony Pictures Animation/Marvel Studios/Arad Productions, 2023.

Recommended/Repressed screenings (split):
James Cameron (Director). Avatar: The Way of Water [Film]. Stone Street Studios, Wellington, New Zealand: 20th Century Studios/TSG Entertainment/Lightstorm Entertainment, 2022.

In this episode of the podcast, we discuss the highlights and winners of the 2022 Academy Awards, including the big winner Everything Everywhere All at Once, emotional speeches by first-time acting nominees, and the Academy's record when it comes to inclusion. We also talk about the popularity of Netflix, India's historic wins at the Oscars, and the night's overall message of Hollywood's comeback.

A star-studded Academy Awards ceremony has put New Zealand film on the map.

New Zealander Mike Hedges is at the ceremony and says everyone's proud of Weta FX.

Avatar: The Way of Water won Best Visual Effects at this year's Oscars.

Hedges has been nominated for best sound.

He says no one was slapped this year, so the biggest scandal is that the red carpet is light yellow.

"The queues to get onto it were shocking and the colour was the only good thing, it didn't clash with any of the dresses."

Matt and Bowen's baby (Las Culturistas) is strong this week as the podcast storms into 2023 with a much needed culture catch up! Up for discussion and dissection: Avatar: The Way of Water, a visual, technical and water-ful marvel from James Cameron that begs the question, "what's with that whale's yellow juice?" M3GAN, the new doll on the block in both a literal and figurative sense, as well as Allison Williams culture and the current horror film mini-renaissance. The nepo-baby phenomenon and cultural conversation surrounding what it means to benefit from daddy-or-mommy-be-famous. The 15th season premiere of RuPaul's Drag Race on its new home, MTV, and the announcement that Las Cultch is now a Real Friends of WeHO (ReFroWeHo) recap podcast. Miley and Dolly's New Years Eve party and how icons were hugged and met there. Jen Shah SENTENCED: an analysis and Lisa Rinna OUT: a retrospective. All this, anticipation for Keke Palmer on the pod next week, a dragging of Rolling Stone for their Celine Dion disrespect, and an acknowledgment that London has a meat pie problem.
