Avatar: The Last Podcasters

Stretching out the in-between-books content for another week (or more...), this week we decided to look into our 5 least favorite episodes from Avatar: The Last Airbender, Book 2: Earth. What's interesting is that there really aren't too many BAD ones... but the numbers don't lie, and here's our handful of the (relative) worst.

This week we deviate from the regular schedule and take a dive into Season 3 of Netflix Original, "The Dragon Prince." SPOILER ALERT! It's neither a regular review nor an in-depth look at every single episode, but something kind of in-between. Most importantly, it gave Chris an opportunity to dig into a lot of viewer comments, for which we thank you sincerely and hope you'll continue to deliver!

We needed a palate-cleanser following our live-action movie adventure, so we decided it was time to share our highest-scoring episodes from the middle book of Avatar: The Last Airbender. As usual, Chris' list is filled with thought-provoking material, and Shawn's is filled with ukulele-nomads and fictional wrestlers. We hope you enjoyed "Earth" as much as we did!

After suffering through the movie for the good(?) of the podcast, Shawn and I took a deep breath and did our best to deliver our objective, fair ratings for this disappointing movie. We tried our best to remove excess personal feelings, so our ratings don't perfectly reflect our opinions, but that's why we articulate some of those feelings separately for you, too!

Join us as Shawn (finally) watches the live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender movie for the first time ever, while Chris tries his best to watch it with fresh perspective for the sake of a legitimate Objective Geek review. It's not great, but it's probably more fun to suffer together in this case. Regardless, we're all thankful it's finally over, and that we may never feel the need to watch it again!

Following the season finale, "The Crossroads Of Destiny," we've officially made it through two full seasons of Avatar: The Last Airbender on this humble podcast, and we really appreciate you joining us for the ride! You've stuck with us through numerous discussions of John Mulaney, side hobbies, Star Wars, sports, etc. Today is no different, because if you hang in there you'll be rewarded with what we think is a strong episode of the show (the TV show, not necessarily our show, though we're hoping both).

Open your chakras and learn to master the Avatar state! ...But do it on your own, because it gets pretty personal. Also, we've got a new weekly-release format we're going to test! Toph bends metal, Sokka gets reunited with his dad, and (most importantly) Aang meets the Guru in hopes of mastering the Avatar state.

Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2 is hurtling toward an exciting end, and it all starts with the fall of Long Feng and the Earth King's acceptance of truth! Naturally, we can't get to that topic without first talking John Mulaney, the return of the NBA, an the other usual banter. Enjoy our take on Book 2: Earth, Episode 38 "The Earth King."

If you hurt their pets, they'll definitely hurt you back, but who would hurt you worse; Aang for Appa, or John Wick for his dog? We also discuss some live-action Netflix series news, Chris' latest works, and his latest friend of the show. Finally, and most importantly, we talk about the absolutely stellar episode - Book 2: Earth, Ep. 17 "Lake Laogai" - which may (or may not) rank among our favorites of the entire series to this point.

Today we discuss Book 2: Earth, Chapters 15 & 16, "The Tales of Ba Sing Se" and "Appa's Lost Days." These are two of the more unusual episodes in the entire series, and fit together in very nice (albeit dramatic) fashion. Naturally, we're pretty divided in our opinions of the episodes' quality.
