Finally after 13 years, we've awoken from Cryosleep and are free to stretch our big blue legs on the world of Pandora. But is James Cameron's new release a Sci Fi splash hit or just another pretty light show?

Join us as we discuss wether the film matched up to the nigh-impossible standards of the first, how much of the extensive runtime could be cut out & what we think the franchise will explore in future instalments.

For this year's Christmas Special we've subjected ourselves to one of the worst Christmas films we could find (and one of the only ones which happens to have Project in the title). Join us as we recap & review a film which features more eggs than talent, whilst trying to stay festive & resist talking about anything else.

We also discuss the recent DC shakeup in Project News, including Henry Cavill's departure from his role as Superman (again).
