FROM THE FANGIRL VAULT: Continuing our summer series, it's our (first) AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER EPISODE!

Originally released February 23, 2024.

Ahead of watching its latest live action adaptation, Amanda and Amber attempt to cover the entirety of their shared favorite show, the greatest show of all time: AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER. Is Aang nonbinary? Can the sisters get through a season without sobbing? Is Zuko the hottest animated character ever? Yes. They tackle spirituality, which characters they ship, imperialism, and do an episode-by-episode speedrun… with a big announcement at the end.

FROM THE FANGIRL VAULT: Continuing our summer series, it's our SPIDER-MAN episode!

Originally released June 2, 2023.

It is Amber's birthday. It is the release date of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. So of course we had to speak on one of Amber's top fandoms: Spider-Man. Amber's obsession with the Spider-Man suit, Tobey v. Andrew v. Tom, Peter Parker as a character, Miles Morales... and Amber finally reads The Letter. (P.S. It is also a day after Tom Holland's birthday.)
