In this special Behind The Geeks episode of The Geekcentric Podcast, we sit down for two in-depth conversations from the world of Avatar: Fire and Ash. First, Stephen Lang joins us to talk about returning as Colonel Miles Quaritch. We discuss whether Quaritch truly sees himself as the villain, how real-world influences helped shape the character, what it means for Quaritch to now exist as a Na’vi, and why audiences remain fascinated by one of the Avatar saga’s most complex figures. Then, we’re fully geeking out in a one-on-one sit-down with legendary filmmaker James Cameron. Cameron breaks down how he balances cutting-edge technology with story, how performance capture continues to evolve emotional authenticity, what it was like collaborating with Oona Chaplin to shape the Ash People, and whether he still feels the pull toward traditional live-action filmmaking. Avatar: Fire and Ash opens exclusively in theatres and IMAX on December 19.
