On the 12th installment of our Missing Pieces series, Shaun Alexander from SIVAKO: Road To Avatar joins me to talk about the biggest movie ever, James Cameron’s Avatar. On the eve of the remastered re-release in theaters as well as the long, long, LONG awaited sequel, it seemed like the perfect time to look at the films that inspired Avatar and the films that it inspired.

As always, SPOILER ALERT for Avatar and the movies we discuss!
