Summary

Is Avatar: Fire and Ash really the lowest-rated film in the Avatar franchise so far? On today's episode of The Kristian Harloff Show, Roxy Striar breaks down early reactions and critical response to James Cameron's latest entry, including whether the Rotten Tomatoes score truly reflects the film's impact, scale, and ambition—or if expectations for the franchise have simply shifted over time.

We also continue the conversation around alleged Avengers: Doomsday teaser leaks and what they mean for Marvel Studios and Disney in an era where spoilers spread instantly online. Can studios still control their biggest reveals, or is leak culture now unavoidable?

Plus, Disney is reportedly moving forward with a live-action Gaston movie, sparking debate about the future of villain-led projects and animated remakes. AMC is planning a Point Break sequel series, revisiting the cult classic for television, while Netflix is developing a Kingmakers film as part of its expanding slate of high-profile adaptations. Finally, Fallout Season 2 is set to premiere a day early—what does this say about Amazon's confidence in the hit series and its growing franchise potential?

Join Kristian Harloff for in-depth discussion, industry insight, and the biggest movie and TV news of the day.
