Narushow: A Podcast About Naruto

Let's get this out of the way: Jiraiya is still awful. But Naruto does pretty good this episode! Even if he doesn't actually have anything to do with what literally any other character is doing. Maybe next time? Join Tim, Taylor, and Emily for three more episodes of Naruto, this week on NARUSHOW!

As it turns out, our fears about that one dude being a real creepo in episode 25 were not unfounded. Jiraiya is a straight up pervy sage. And Taylor, Tim, and Emily are here to whine and yell about it. It's Narushow!

Well, it's that time again. Time for Emily, Tim, and Taylor to recap their feelings about an entire season of Naruto in like 45 minutes. Also, time to get upset at Tongue Lady's vile actions all over again. But, there's good stuff too! Like that time Naruto showed up and forgot the password, when Rock Lee dropped some stuff, and when Cheeto ate things. It's NARUSHOW!

The beginning of the saga of the epic battle between Cheeto and Brown Note which will take dozens of episodes to reach its conclusion. We break down each and every second, critique their techniques, and -- Nah, it's over in like two seconds. Cheeto kind of sucks. Join Taylor, Tim, and Emily as they watch Naruto episodes 51 and 52! It's NARUSHOW!

Rock Lee is so unbelievably good, you guys. Gaara is kind of a creep, but Emily likes him anyway. Tim and Taylor were mostly just really excited for their boy Rock Lee to punch and kick a bunch of stuff, though. It's NARUSHOW!

We're going to be honest. Taylor struggles this episode. The part of his brain broke by the bummer city of episodes 46 and 47 of Naruto and he can no longer pronounce, well, anything. Emily and Tim are very embarrassed and Taylor is very sorry. IT'S NARUSHOW!

We warned you this would be the title. You didn't think we'd forget, did you? This week, Naruto takes on Akamaru and Akamaru's Friend on a battle to find out who makes it through the Chunin exam. And, quite frankly, Naruto is kind of a jerk about it.

Tim goes on a rant about The Bachelor, Taylor can't pronounce literally anything, and Emily just wants to give Akamaru pats. Overall, it's Narushow! Also, the hosts cover episodes 41, 42, and 43 because these episodes are mostly just a bunch of fights.

The Narushow hosts welcome LA-based animator (and big ol' anime fan) Tiffany Ford to talk about clothes, punchin' dudes, and how sad Sasuke is all the time. Also, Taylor forgets names of things. Again.

A pair of slow episodes cause Tim and Taylor to get wildly off topic while Emily tries to reign the two idiots in. Sounds an awful lot like Sakura and the Boys! It's NARUSHOW! Important questions: Who will pass the Chunin exam? Where's Iruka been this whole time? What the hell does "vermiculated" mean? Was that an Escape From New York reference? Why is that dude coughing so much? What's up with Yo...

There are some extremely goopy boys in these two episodes of Naruto, but thankfully our Narushow hosts managed to escape the splash zone. (Gross. - Em) It's time for NARUSHOW! Important questions: Lucky, or unlucky? Will the clones ever stop flowing? Who is your Naruto Lawyer? What's up with that nerd guy, anyway?

Akamaru is scared this week, and quite frankly we don't blame him. Gaara is a terrifying individual! Emily, Tim, and Taylor get their first taste of the Sand Siblings' power, this week on Narushow! Important questions: What is the source of Cheeto's true power? Couldn't Sasuke get a better tattoo? Why do Neji and Hinata have such terrifying eyes? Why do you have to scare the puppy??? Save the pupp...

Rejoice, for the Tongue Lady is gone! And in her place, we get the return of some of the greatest characters in Naruto: Rock Lee and...LOG! That's right, Log is BACK, BABY. And he does some serious work this epsiodes. It's Narushow! Important questions: Why doesn't Brown Note just do a brown note? Why would they do that to a squirrel? How is Rock Lee so good and pure? What's up with Zaku's hands?...

Two entire episodes about Tongue Lady are almost enough to break Tim, Taylor, and Em's brains. Quite frankly, we're against it. IMPORTANT QUESTIONS: How has Em never had an artichoke? How good are artichokes, like, for real though? What are your favorite artichoke dipping sauces? Did you know you can cook artichokes in like 9 minutes in an Instant Pot? If I keep asking artichoke questions, will I...

Tim, Taylor, and Em are back! Oh, and they immediately meet the worst character in the history of fiction. Go away, Tongue Lady. Important questions: When are we done with Tongue Lady? When will Tongue Lady die? Why isn't Tongue Lady gone yet? Can we skip the Tongue Lady arc? Why hasn't Kakashi killed Tongue Lady yet?

Season 1 of Naruto is over, and our heroes (Taylor, Tim, and Emily) are wrapping up our thoughts on their heroes (Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke). Episode 26 is a clip show, so we break down our hopes and dreams for the future of the Number One Hyperactive, Nucklehead Ninja. Important questions: What do we think of Season 2's theme song, and why does it own so hard? What do we want for the future of N...

The first test of the Chunin Exam starts now! Emily, Tim, and Taylor head into the classroom to find out if Naruto can actually pass, like, anything. Important questions: What's with all these RULES, man? How does Kankuro pee in that onesie? Will Naruto get even a single question correct? Why is Ibiki such a jerk? Who will pass?

Tim, Emily, and Taylor meet the two best characters in the history of television and their tortoise buddy. It's time for Narushow! Important questions: What's up with Rock Lee's sick hairdo? Is that a turtle or a tortoise? How is Kakashi such a good dude? Will the hosts even talk about food this episode?

It's Chunin exam time! Taylor, Tim, and Emily study up on episodes 20 and 21 of Naruto! Important questions: Will Taylor ever not butcher someone's name? Who are the Sand Siblings? What's up with the cow print? Who is Rock Lee and why is his hair so good?

Get ready to cry and finish that bridge! Taylor, Tim, and Emily finish up the Land of the Waves arc and mourn the death of, like, so many people. Important questions: Where did the dogs go? Will the dogs return? Will we ever recover from this overwhelming sadness? Why isn't Haku in the show forever? Why is the bridge so short?

Four episodes in one podcast? Are Tim, Taylor, and Emily nuts? As it turns out, yes! Nuts for Naruto! We cover the climactic battle between Zabuza/Haku and Team 7 in a speedrun of an episode. Important questions: What's up with Haku's relationship with Zabuza? Will our hosts' voices be gone after this episode? Can Naruto and Sasuke work together to stop Haku? Will Naruto ever stop screwing everyth...

Emily, Tim, and Taylor meet back up with Zabuza and Tree Boy in their discussion of Naruto episodes 12 and 13! Important questions: Can Naruto just sleep anywhere? Are donuts good or nah? What is Tree Boy's real name? Can we please rename that jutsu? When's breakfast?

Taylor, Tim, and Emily break down a training episode and one big bummer of an episode. Also, talk too much about In-N-Out. Important questions: Why are In-N-Out haters so wrong? How fast does Kakashi's hair grow? Why can't Taylor pronounce literally anything? Can all dogs live forever? Will we ever recover from this bummer of an episode?

SORRY GUYS, NO NEW EPISODE THIS WEEK

It's time for episodes 8 and 9 with Taylor, Tim, and Emily! Listen as they attempt to make describing action sequences interesting. Important questions: Why is Zabuza's outfit so good? What else can Naruto turn into? What's up with all the butt rock? ARE YOU READY TO BUTT?
