Avatar: The Last Podcasters

Last week Shawn's recording software faltered, forcing us to cover a little extra ground this week, so this episode includes a very short, high-level review (and ratings) for The Legend of Korra Book 2: Spirits, Chapter 5 "Peacekeepers," as well as the standard treatment for Chapter 6 "The Sting." Naturally, it's not without tangents concerning Chris' excitement for Mortal Kombat, and Shawn's unna...

Timestamps 00:00 Avatar Studios News Reaction 28:00 Potential New Movie and Series Ideas On Wednesday, February 24, 2021, Deadline released an article containing some of the biggest and most exciting news related to the Avatar: The Last Airbender universe that we've heard in maybe a decade! Check out Avatar: The Last Podcasters' reactions to this news, and projections of where the Avatar- See the...

Rumors are running around the internet that the Netflix Live Action Avatar: The Last Airbender series has selected a new show-runner, and that some character-age changes could be in the works. Is this part of what drove Bryan and Mike away? How do Chris and Shawn feel about it? In this special (and conveniently short) episode of Avatar: The Last Podcasters, we share our live reactions to the news....

It's Valentine's Day weekend, which we basically completely forgot about so I'm not sure why I'm bothering to bring it up. Happy Valentine's Day if you're into that sort of thing, I guess. Otherwise, Chris shares a unique theory on Eska and Desna, we spend way too much time talking about our sleep habits, and eventually we get to our official Avatar: The Last Podcasters' review of The Legend of Ko...

It's Super Bowl Weekend, Valentine's Day is on the horizon, and we totally forgot to mention either one of them! We were too busy talking about our parents' favorite children, disappointing vacations, and determining whether or not Aang was a bad father! Eventually, we even get to our official Avatar: The Last Podcasters' review of The Legend of Korra, Book 2: Spirits, Chapter 3 "Civil War Part 1....

Somewhere in between talking about Chris' upcoming videos, Dave Chappelle's Racial Draft, Friends, and Shawn's Fascination with B-tier slashers, we eventually put Korra under the microscope for a second consecutive episode in Avatar: The Last Podcasters' official review of The Legend Of Korra, Book 2: Spirits, Chapter 2 (14 overall) "The Southern Lights." Chris: @objective_geek Shawn: @ShawnSchall...

For everyone waiting for us to treat Korra with some of the same critical approach we give Aang sometimes, this is the episode for you! ...But first you have to make it through about 20 minutes of us talking about movie posters, cuss words, surprise arachnids, and a few other tangents. But stick it out, because eventually we get to Avatar: The Last Podcasters' official review of The Legend Of Korr...

This episode is a thank you to two long-time listeners and regular commenters, Barry and Huub! Back in November they donated to Shawn's fundraiser for Harvesters: The Community Food Network, and though they didn't win a prize in the drawing, we decided to dedicate one episode to topics of their choice as a way of saying 'thank you'. In summary, Barry suggested the best quotes from Avatar: The Last...

After a short holiday hiatus, we're back and ecstatic to discuss an extremely heavy, action-packed finale in our review of The Legend Of Korra Book 1: Air, Chaper 12 "Endgame." It's been a while since we've interacted, so there's also a plethora of tangents; buying our own Christmas Gifts, the latest video game consoles, Shawn's Nintendo Switch obsession, the movie Tenet's weird audio, self-image,...

Happy Holidays! Between work, holidays, and Chris' move, we were unable to find time to record for Christmas or New Years' weekends. We do sincerely apologize, and at least wanted to give you a real Happy Holidays message, and some kind of small episode! So we each thought up our top 5 Christmas wishlist items for the year 2021 related to the Avatar: The Last Airbender universe, and cobbled it tog...

This week while Chris moves into his new house (and cleans up his old one to sell), Shawn and special guest Tyler Keal of The Real Keal podcast do their best not to ruin everything Chris has worked so hard to build, so naturally they pick one of the most exciting topics of all time! ...almost... So check it out to see Tyler's thoughts on which show a Netflix- and Avatar: The Last Airbender/Legend...

Time gets cramped as the holidays near, but we’ll keep doing our best to bring you an episode every week! This week Chris offers moving updates, Shawn tries to protect Batman from second-hand smoke, and eventually we offer our usual review of the penultimate episode in the STELLAR first season of The Legend of Korra, Book 1: Air, Episode 11 “Skeletons in the Closet.”   Chris: @objective_geek Shawn...

It seems like we're always saying things like "this was a great Sokka episode" or "there were so many great Toph moments in this episode." Well, it's time to settle things for real as Chris and Shawn each give their pitch for the best episode specific to every member of Team Avatar: Sokka, Katara, Toph, Zuko, and of course Aang! But not without tangents, of course; we talk about Star Wars, Pokemon...

Happy Thanksgiving! (We remember to say it at the end, and also want to note that we're extremely grateful for all of you!) This week, if you can get past tangents about Shawn's shady taste in anime (Is It Wrong To Try To Pick Up Girls In A Dungeon? being the current culprit) and reactions to My Hero Academia, you'll be treated to yet another really strong episode of The Legend of Korra called "Tu...

This week, after Shawn fumbles through his introduction but before they discuss The Legend Of Korra Book 1: Air, Chapter 9 "Out of the Past," Chris and Shawn also make time to talk about Scrubs and Community, a touching Fresh Prince Reunion, and Chris' office chair in front of his empty shelves that pre-empt the move to his new house. Happy early Thanksgiving! Have a great, safe week. Chris: @obje...

Shawn and Chris record a regular episode for what seems like the first time in months - The Legend Of Korra, Book 1: Air, Chapter 8 "When Extremes Meet" - and it's a great one! But not before they go off on tangents about their recliners, atoning for Shawn's comments about Bolin being funnier than Sokka, and apologizing for getting air temples wrong on bad maps. Also, this is the last opportunity...

Unfortunately we were unable to record a standard episode this week, so Shawn selfishly seizes the opportunity to test the acoustics in his new setup, discuss his upcoming birthday fundraiser-raffle one last time, project possible content for the next month-plus, and to issue a small apology for the deviation in standard scheduling. If you haven't checked out Shawn's fundraiser-raffle yet, please...

Happy Halloween from Avatar: The Last Podcasters! To celebrate, we discussed what halloween costumes (from our universe/reality) might be worn by each member of Team Avatar in both Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend Of Korra, followed by an additional full-group costume idea at the end! Also (just like one more week of begging), please check out Shawn's fundraiser event for Harvester's and...

This week Chris and Shawn tackle another big, burning Avatar: The Last Airbender question: What if Aang never ran away? (The first time, after he found out he was the avatar and was worried they'd separate him from Gyatso.) We feel like it would've still made a really interesting series! Please check out Shawn's fundraiser event for Harvester's! It's a great cause (they feed tons of hungry familie...

This week Chris and Shawn delve into a variety of tangents including Kobe's legacy being supplemented by Lebron's latest title, Shawn's slow nerd-cave-remodeling progress, adding charitable links to other peoples' YouTube videos, some fan feedback from our friend Barry, and a pair of really sad-sounding episodes of Scrubs that Chris really enjoys. Eventually we get the initially-really-chill-then-...

This week Chris and Shawn welcome back our excellent guest Theo Brown to wrap up what we started, which (prior to delving very deeply into an awesome conversation about Avatars as NBA legends) was intended to be a discussion about The Legend of Korra Book 1: Air, Chapter 6, "And The Winner Is..." We hope you enjoyed our previous tangent, and that you're ready to wrap things up in this "part two."...

This week Chris and Shawn welcome special guest Theo Brown to celebrate the happy coincidence that the 2020 NBA finals began on the week we intended to cover the pro bending championship episode! After learning a little about our guest and predicting the Lakers' victory (in 4 or 5 games, depending), we determine the perfect NBA-legend player-comps for every known Avatar. (Also, Shawn doesn't read...

This week Chris and Shawn talk about the creators' least favorite Korra episodes, the Annie's-Pen bottle episode of Community, romantic comedies that Shawn is too stubborn to try. They also pump up next week's episode, which comes with a fun twist! Finally, they get to their review of The Legend of Korra Book 1: Air, Chapter 5, "The Spirit Of Competition." Chris: @objective_geek Shawn: @ShawnSchal...

DISCLAIMER! I (Shawn) tested a different headset that sounds REALLY good for work (over Microsoft Teams), so I thought it might sound good on a Podcast too! I was very mistaken, and I'm very sorry for the fuzzy popping it caused in the audio. I won't be trying it again. Shawn and Chris talk about Chris' upcoming goals for making videos (and the beautiful dichotomy of videos he loves v. videos that...

Shawn and Chris discuss YouTube tactics for asking people to subscribe, Shawn's anxiety from the pre-employment drug screen, Chris' ability to sleep in class, whether or not pro bending is actually a "good" sport and Tenzin is actually a "good" teacher, and (eventually) The Legend of Korra Book 1: Air, Chapter 3, "The Revelation."
