After an extended holiday break, Isaac and Will are back to chat about Avatar: The Way of the Water, James Cameron's beautiful follow-up to 2009's smash hit. As lifelong Cameron fans, we're conflicted about the Avatar series, as we long for the good ole days. At the same time, The Way of the Water is truly a spectacle to behold and a compelling theatrical experience. But then again, it's still just blue people doing blue stuff.
