This week, we discuss the theme of family in ATLA and LOK! We have a lot of fun looking at different types of parent-child relationships in both series, pondering Air Temple family culture, and concluding we wouldn't want to be a part of the Fire Nation royal family. #nothankyou

This week, we dive into the theme of death in Harry Potter, but don't worry - we still get plenty of snarky comments and laughs into the mix. We take a look at Severus Snape, Horcruxes v.

It's a new year and we're back with a brand new name and amazing new logo! Our first episode of 2020 is a great one that discusses the theme of gender within Avatar: The Last Airbender and Legend of Korra. With so many strong female characters to choose from, Brittany had quite a difficult time choosing who to bring as the character of the week. Also, while most of the episode is spent praising both TV series for their subversion of stereotypical gender roles and their calling out of sexism, we do find one area ATLA didn't do so hot...

As counterintuitive as it may be, this episode focuses on hope in the Hunger Games trilogy! From the practice of healing to the character of Katniss, it's not as difficult as difficult to find hope as you might think.

This week, we enjoy a rich discussion about Race in The Lord of the Rings and a bit of The Hobbit. From Dwarf-Elf relations to colonial rhetoric, we ponder how well the LOTR races fit with our own society's race dynamics.
