    E235 - Avatar Fire and Ash - What Would YOU Do?
    Jan 23 2026
    "Once you go blue, you’re probably just suffocating." This week on Cinema IRL, Scott and Amber are tackling the three-hour-plus marathon that is *Avatar: Fire and Ash*, a film that earns five stars for beauty and significantly fewer for its predictable plot. They dive into the "continuation" (or as Scott calls it, the "repeat") of Jake Sully’s saga, questioning why any tribal leader would ever let a walking disaster like Jake move in. Between mocking Spider’s "pink butt" and debating the ethics of faking a teenager's death to save a planet, it’s a wild ride through the bioluminescent woods. Stick around to find out which real-world buildings the hosts would flatten if they had access to a Pandora-sized bulldozer.
