Club MacStories+ Town Halls: Avatar: The Way of Water

Last week, we kicked of 2023’s AV Club series with Avatar: The Way of Water. For the latest Town Hall Federico and I were joined by Jonathan Reed, who helped us organize the event, to talk about James Cameron’s latest epic and its predecessor in the film series.

More Club Gift Options Than Ever Before

The holiday season is upon us, and as you shop for gifts for friends and family, we wanted to remind everyone that Club MacStories memberships can be given as gifts all year long. Every tier of the Club extends what we publish at MacStories, which makes it the perfect gift for someone who wants more of the kind of in-depth app, automation, and other coverage you find on the site every day.

With Club MacStories, Club MacStories+, and Club Premier, we’ve got gift options for every budget this holiday season.

Pick a Plan

As always, Club MacStories delivers weekly and monthly newsletters by email and on the web, packed with our favorite apps, themed collections, tips, Shortcuts automations, and more. Club members also receive MacStories Unplugged, our monthly Club-only podcast, plus periodic giveaways, and downloadable exclusives like our annual iOS and iPadOS and macOS reviews.

Club MacStories+ adds to Club MacStories, with bonus content, a brand new, powerful web app to read Club articles on the web with advanced search and filtering, advanced RSS features, exclusive discounts, and our Discord community.

Club Premier is the ultimate plan that includes all of Club MacStories, Club MacStories+, and the new extended, ad-free AppStories+ podcast in a single package. It is the best value and the easiest way to get access to everything we do. It’s the MacStories all-access pass.
