Avatar podcast has landed!

The official BabbleOn 5 Avatar podcast has landed here on earth! We called it the “Welcome to Pandora” podcast. The Babblers had high expectations for this long anticipated epic film by the legendary James Cameron. But did it meet expectations? Check out this podcast as we discuss not only our thoughts on the record-breaking Avatar but how it compares to Cameron’s body of work. 

Listen to it here and check out the library of podcast from other movies of ’09.

You can also check out a our wide variety of other Avatar posts here.

The Twilight Saga: New Moon Podcast

Our latest podcast is up! In this episode we review New Moon and the overall Twilight phenomenon that is sweeping the nation. In this podcast, we not only discuss our critical review of the movies but it’s impact on pop culture, the next generation, and morality. Since none of the Babblers are big fans, we brought in two experts, or ’Twi-hards’ to help us understand what all the hype is about. Check it out and leave us your thoughts.

The Twilight podcast can be found here.
