Holiday Movie Chaos: Avatar Fire & Ash, Zootopia 2, SpongeBob & Christmas Releases

The holiday movie season is in full swing, and FlickRadio Movie Talk breaks it all down during a lively, festive episode recorded live on The Ozarks This Morning on KRMS Radio. Guy T. Wehman is joined by Allison Rose and Steven Leibowitz as they examine a crowded December release slate, led by Avatar: Fire and Ash and the continued box office dominance of Zootopia 2. The conversation digs into whether James Cameron’s third Avatar film truly evolves the franchise, why family films are driving the global box office, and how studios are still feeling the ripple effects of the strikes. The hosts also discuss SpongeBob’s latest big-screen outing, holiday thrillers and dramas hitting theaters, and Christmas Day releases like Anaconda, while debating what works — and what doesn’t — for moviegoing during the holidays. To close out the show, the panel pays tribute to filmmaker Rob Reiner, highlighting classic picks including The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally, and The American President, celebrating a career defined by character-driven storytelling. It’s a warm, chaotic, and honest holiday episode filled with movie nostalgia, box office analysis, and real-time reactions — exactly how film fans like to talk movies in December.
