Avatar: The Last Podcasters

Can you believe that Avatar: The Last Airbender is 15 years old? That's right, February 20, 2020, is the 15th anniversary of our favorite show. We've decided to dedicate an episode exclusively to this very special occasion - something we've been holding onto for a little while now - our Top 10 Moments from the Avatar: The Last Airbender series. It was painful to select just 10, but we believe we've picked the absolute best of them! Naturally, we would love to hear your lists and favorites as well, so don't be shy; tell us what you think!

In something as close to a normal episode as we've ever recorded, we talk pertinent live-action netflix/CBS series thoughts, then jump straight to the episode (with only a couple tangents, relative to our usual standards). It's a pretty solid episode, too!

Our favorite guest Jaimee joins us today for Book 3: Fire, Episode 5 "The Beach." But, as always, it takes us a little bit to get there. First we get sidetracked thinking about our favorite comedies, then by our favorite form of breakfast carbs, then by a recent piece of Avatar literature. Finally, we give our usual step by step of a fairly divisive episode.

It's been a crazy week! We touch on a lot of stuff including the tragic helicopter crash, our Chiefs' fandom and the Super Bowl, our TV backlogs, upcoming videos, and the perfect sword we could make for ourselves. Then, when we're finally done with all that, we dig into a pretty solid episode called "Sokka's Master."

-AND-

"Avatar: The Last Airbender" The Complete Series (DVD).

This week, Shawn realizes that his game room is in shambles and his PC needs a new motherboard, so join him and Chris as they do their best to cobble together a bit of a one-off episode. For what it's worth, there's some interesting news in the world of F.C. Yee's novels to discuss, and naturally there's plenty of unrelated discussions about toys, existential crises related to work, and haircuts. Then, finally, we each rank the individual vignettes from the Tales of Ba Sing Se, from our least to most favorite.

This week Shawn learned a lesson in patience from an embarrassing Amazon return, but got his new GPU installed in the process. Far more importantly, we have a discussion about which of the two shows "Avatar: The Last Airbender" or "Legend of Korra" has the better spirits and better spirit world. Then, finally, we discuss Book 3: Fire, Episode 3 "The Painted Lady."

If you want to hear some random opinions on Star Wars or Legend of Zelda, you've come to the right place! But just for good measure, we also discuss Netflix casting news for the Avatar: The Last Airbender live-action series, as well as some fragments of a mobile game about which we're curious. Finally, and most importantly, we discuss Book 3: Fire, Episode 2 "The Headband."

Happy New Year! We're kicking the new year off with a new season; Book 3: Earth, Episode 1 (41 overall), "The Awakening." It's a little divisive, but still delivers a lot of important story elements and parallels. But if Shawn thinks THIS one divisive, just wait and see how he'll react to the next few episodes. We'll make sure we get Jaimee back for one or two of those...

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Today for a special treat, we've got special guest and media-ships expert Jaimee back with us to help us decide which relationships in Avatar: The Last Airbender deserve to sink, float, or swim! It's a little longer than normal, but it's also a lot of fun if you're into these types of things! (Even Shawn comes around after awhile.)
