Avatar: The Way of Water — Was The 13-Year Wait Worth It?

The Movie Marathon Podcast continues the Avatar binge with 2022's Avatar: The Way of Water, James Cameron's 13-years-in-the-making sequel. This episode covers the extraordinary technology developed for underwater performance capture, the DeepX 3D camera system built from scratch, and how Cameron wrote four Avatar sequels simultaneously. Then a full breakdown of the film: the Sully family dynamics, the Metkayina reef world, a heart-wrenching death and Kiri's mysterious connection to Eywa. But, does the 3-hour-plus runtime earn itself? Listen to the Binge Bros break it down.

What is Movie Marathon Podcast?

The Movie Marathon Podcast is a film podcast built around the binge. We marathon entire franchises and films from start to finish — one movie per episode — covering the production history, the casting, the performances, and what each film actually means. Our rewatches are tied to new releases and culturally relevant moments, so there's always a reason to be listening.

Whether you've seen the movie 30 times or you just came out of the theater, every episode is a deep dive. Every binge is intentional. And every opinion was formed by watching the movies before we turned on our mics. Welcome to the Binge Bros, let's marathon some movies.

New episodes every Tuesday.
