Avatar: The Last Podcasters

To cheer ourselves up about the lack of comicon, we went ahead and got into costume anyway which, aside from Chris gradually disrobing and Shawn's awful hair, was very enjoyable. In other news, Chris' channel (THIS channel) has grown incrementally (Thank you all so much!), and Shawn is raising money for Harvesters Community Food Network via 27-hour March Madness bracket pool and simulation livestr...

Thursday, March 12, 2020 was an insane day in the United States of America due to all of the preventative measures being taken in the wake of Coronavirus; we're not health experts, but obviously we can't avoid the topic to some degree. But we have some positive things to share as well! We take a moment to share a couple listener reviews (thank you so much for sharing and participating in our show...

This week Chris offers some quick thoughts on the My Hero Academia movie, Shawn offers quick thoughts on his boring choices for bending masters, and (eventually) we both chime in on "The Puppetmaster," including a strong performance from Tress MacNeille as Hama (and also, apparently, countless other childhood favorites of ours). Chris: @objective_geek Shawn: @ShawnSchaller Facebook: facebook.com/A...

This week Chris reviews the latest Legend of Korra comic, "Ruins of the Empire," and also shares some thoughtful commentary left on last week's Top 10 Moments video (thank you so much for participating, by the way) of which we're very proud. Finally, we get to Book 3: Fire, Episode 8 "The Runaway." Chris: @objective_geek Shawn: @ShawnSchaller Facebook: facebook.com/AvatarTheLastPodcasters/ Also, y...

Can you believe that Avatar: The Last Airbender is 15 years old? That's right, February 20, 2020, is the 15th anniversary of our favorite show. We've decided to dedicate an episode exclusively to this very special occasion - something we've been holding onto for a little while now - our Top 10 Moments from the Avatar: The Last Airbender series. It was painful to select just 10, but we believe we'v...

In something as close to a normal episode as we've ever recorded, we talk pertinent live-action netflix/CBS series thoughts, then jump straight to the episode (with only a couple tangents, relative to our usual standards). It's a pretty solid episode, too! Chris: @objective_geek Shawn: @ShawnSchaller Facebook: facebook.com/AvatarTheLastPodcasters/ Also, you can now connect directly with the show o...

Our favorite guest Jaimee joins us today for Book 3: Fire, Episode 5 "The Beach." But, as always, it takes us a little bit to get there. First we get sidetracked thinking about our favorite comedies, then by our favorite form of breakfast carbs, then by a recent piece of Avatar literature. Finally, we give our usual step by step of a fairly divisive episode. Jaimee: @jaimeerindy Chris: @objective_...

It's been a crazy week! We touch on a lot of stuff including the tragic helicopter crash, our Chiefs' fandom and the Super Bowl, our TV backlogs, upcoming videos, and the perfect sword we could make for ourselves. Then, when we're finally done with all that, we dig into a pretty solid episode called "Sokka's Master." Chris: @objective_geek Shawn: @ShawnSchaller Facebook: facebook.com/AvatarTheLast...

This week, Shawn realizes that his game room is in shambles and his PC needs a new motherboard, so join him and Chris as they do their best to cobble together a bit of a one-off episode. For what it's worth, there's some interesting news in the world of F.C. Yee's novels to discuss, and naturally there's plenty of unrelated discussions about toys, existential crises related to work, and haircuts....

This week Shawn learned a lesson in patience from an embarrassing Amazon return, but got his new GPU installed in the process. Far more importantly, we have a discussion about which of the two shows "Avatar: The Last Airbender" or "Legend of Korra" has the better spirits and better spirit world. Then, finally, we discuss Book 3: Fire, Episode 3 "The Painted Lady." Chris: @objective_geek Shawn: @Sh...

If you want to hear some random opinions on Star Wars or Legend of Zelda, you've come to the right place! But just for good measure, we also discuss Netflix casting news for the Avatar: The Last Airbender live-action series, as well as some fragments of a mobile game about which we're curious. Finally, and most importantly, we discuss Book 3: Fire, Episode 2 "The Headband." Chris: @objective_geek...

Happy New Year! We're kicking the new year off with a new season; Book 3: Earth, Episode 1 (41 overall), "The Awakening." It's a little divisive, but still delivers a lot of important story elements and parallels. But if Shawn thinks THIS one divisive, just wait and see how he'll react to the next few episodes. We'll make sure we get Jaimee back for one or two of those... Chris: @objective_geek Sh...

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Today for a special treat, we've got special guest and media-ships expert Jaimee back with us to help us decide which relationships in Avatar: The Last Airbender deserve to sink, float, or swim! It's a little longer than normal, but it's also a lot of fun if you're into these types of things! (Even Shawn comes around after awhile.) Chris: @objective_geek Shawn:...

Stretching out the in-between-books content for another week (or more...), this week we decided to look into our 5 least favorite episodes from Avatar: The Last Airbender, Book 2: Earth. What's interesting is that there really aren't too many BAD ones... but the numbers don't lie, and here's our handful of the (relative) worst. Chris: @objective_geek Shawn: @ShawnSchaller Facebook: facebook.com/Av...

This week we deviate from the regular schedule and take a dive into Season 3 of Netflix Original, "The Dragon Prince." SPOILER ALERT! It's neither a regular review nor an in-depth look at every single episode, but something kind of in-between. Most importantly, it gave Chris an opportunity to dig into a lot of viewer comments, for which we thank you sincerely and hope you'll continue to deliver!

We needed a palate-cleanser following our live-action movie adventure, so we decided it was time to share our highest-scoring episodes from the middle book of Avatar: The Last Airbender. As usual, Chris' list is filled with thought-provoking material, and Shawn's is filled with ukulele-nomads and fictional wrestlers. We hope you enjoyed "Earth" as much as we did! Scenes, images and music were capt...

After suffering through the movie for the good(?) of the podcast, Shawn and I took a deep breath and did our best to deliver our objective, fair ratings for this disappointing movie. We tried our best to remove excess personal feelings, so our ratings don't perfectly reflect our opinions, but that's why we articulate some of those feelings separately for you, too! Chris: @objective_geek Shawn: @Sh...

Join us as Shawn (finally) watches the live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender movie for the first time ever, while Chris tries his best to watch it with fresh perspective for the sake of a legitimate Objective Geek review. It's not great, but it's probably more fun to suffer together in this case. Regardless, we're all thankful it's finally over, and that we may never feel the need to watch it aga...

Following the season finale, "The Crossroads Of Destiny," we've officially made it through two full seasons of Avatar: The Last Airbender on this humble podcast, and we really appreciate you joining us for the ride! You've stuck with us through numerous discussions of John Mulaney, side hobbies, Star Wars, sports, etc. Today is no different, because if you hang in there you'll be rewarded with wha...

Open your chakras and learn to master the Avatar state! ...But do it on your own, because it gets pretty personal. Also, we've got a new weekly-release format we're going to test! Toph bends metal, Sokka gets reunited with his dad, and (most importantly) Aang meets the Guru in hopes of mastering the Avatar state. Chris: @objective_geek Shawn: @ShawnSchaller Facebook: facebook.com/AvatarTheLastPodc...

Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2 is hurtling toward an exciting end, and it all starts with the fall of Long Feng and the Earth King's acceptance of truth! Naturally, we can't get to that topic without first talking John Mulaney, the return of the NBA, an the other usual banter. Enjoy our take on Book 2: Earth, Episode 38 "The Earth King." Chris: @objective_geek  Shawn: @ShawnSchaller Face...

If you hurt their pets, they'll definitely hurt you back, but who would hurt you worse; Aang for Appa, or John Wick for his dog? We also discuss some live-action Netflix series news, Chris' latest works, and his latest friend of the show. Finally, and most importantly, we talk about the absolutely stellar episode - Book 2: Earth, Ep. 17 "Lake Laogai" - which may (or may not) rank among our favorit...

Today we discuss Book 2: Earth, Chapters 15 & 16, "The Tales of Ba Sing Se" and "Appa's Lost Days." These are two of the more unusual episodes in the entire series, and fit together in very nice (albeit dramatic) fashion. Naturally, we're pretty divided in our opinions of the episodes' quality. Chris: @objective_geek  Shawn: @ShawnSchaller And, for real, check out Podcasts.com for hosting...

An "Avatar: The Last Airbender" Podcast For the "City of Walls and Secrets" we welcome back guest-host Jaimee Rindy, because Shawn is tired of losing discussions to Chris without aid (or someone else to act as a distraction to such conversations). Regardless, this episode is a lot of fun and perfect 'cast for which to welcome a third opinion. Also, we get sidetracked a bit into other Nickelodeon s...

An "Avatar: The Last Airbender" Podcast Book 2: Earth, Episodes 32-33 "The Serpent's Pass" & "The Drill" In this pair of episodes, cumulatively aired and titled "Journey to Ba Sing Se" (or maybe "Secrets of the Fire Nation"), the gang misses out on the ferry and is forced to cross the perilous Serpent's Pass (episode 32), then has to turn a massive Fire Nation war machine - the Drill - away fr...
