Bring along all your hopes and dreams on your voyage to master all four elements, because we're talking One Piece and Avatar this week! And what better time to do it than when both of Netflix's most successful live action adaptations of animated properties have been released? Mucci talks up mangka Eiichiro Oda's masterpiece, which he believes to be one of the greatest stories ever written, with roots going back to the classic Chinese novel, Journey to the West. Huy discusses many of the great characters in Avatar: The Last Airbender, last but not least the cabbage salesman, and gets into the legal disputes with James Cameron's Avatar. Lando, of course being well-versed in both stories, asks a few questions that lead to sometimes painstakingly detailed responses from the debaters. Our guest this week is Raul of the Senor Nerd Podcast, who gives his expert opinion on the live action adaptations of both of these properties. I'm going to be the king of the pirates! (my cabbages!)
