This week The 42cast talks about Avatar. It’s not the M. Night Shyamalan film, the animated show from Nickelodeon, or the film series by James Cameron. This is the live action series on Netflix based on the animated Avatar: The Last Airbender. In this episode we discuss the first season. We talk about the cast and what we think of the portrayal of their characters. We discuss the production values and evaluate it on the basis of music, sets, and effects. We also debate whether we feel that the changes made from the animated series were effective or not.

The five-minute controversy this week asks if we agree with Jenna Ortega that Hollywood shouldn’t do gender-bending recasts and instead create new, amazing female characters.

This week Anji, Juliette, and Alli join the cast.

Show Notes:
Article about Jenna Ortega requesting new female characters rather than gender-bending recasts.

Buckle up, Whovians—it’s time to talk about the biggest question in the universe: What now?

Whether you’re a longtime Whovian or a fan of modern Doctor Who, this episode is packed with discussion, speculation, fandom debate, and plenty of passionate Doctor Who conversation.

This week, we’re on a second contact mission, revisiting Star Trek: Enterprise Season 3, Episode 3 “Extinction,” now that Jamie and Maria have watched it and inexplicably enjoyed this very weird episode where a bunch of members of the Enterprise were turned into ape-like aliens. We’re also joined once again by guest Stephen Granade this week. 

Special thanks to Topher and Bee Brookshire who answered all of our very silly science questions about this episode (psst you should read Bee’s book Pests: How Humans Create Animal Villains). 

A word of warning: If you haven’t listened to the episode before this one, “People Say We Monkey Around!,” go listen to that first because this is a follow up to last week.

Twins. A juke joint. A blues prodigy. And something very hungry waiting in the Mississippi Delta. Tea, Karen and Lysa are diving deep into Ryan Coogler’s Sinners , the 2025 horror film that took the world by storm. They cover the rich folklore that opens the film, the music that earned every single one of its awards, the characters that felt achingly real, the stunning visuals that left no stone unturned, and what it all means when horror is brave enough to hold up a mirror to the world.
