I joined my friends at the Coffin Table Podcast for a very special 4-part discussion of Alien: Earth. It was supposed to be 2 episodes, but we had so much to say it kept ballooning up. Hope it’s as much fun listening to as it was to record. @coffintable.bsky.social youtube.com/watch?v=Mg6U...

When the post-Christmas mood hits
Avatar: Fire and Ash was a great spectacle. I loved it, as I loved the other 2. Though I would agree with criticisms that it ended up treading familiar ground. There were a few times I thought, “didn’t they do this exact scene in the previous movie?” Otherwise minimal qualms.
Time for Avatar!
