In the latest episode of WTF with Marc Maron, the host and guest Kate Winslet discussed the blockbuster sci-fi film Avatar and shared their personal experiences of auditioning and shooting for Titanic director James Cameron. During their interaction, Marc was heard saying, "He had me come down there to audition for something, to look at me for something". He continued, "I had to go down there to that city he built, the Avatar city and it was the weirdest thing. I walk in and he was like, 'We’ve got actors in here working all the time, flying around and stuff. So if you want to come into a set and we’ll just do it.'" Marc added, "I was like, ‘What the f**k is happening here?'".
