Talking Naruto Shippuden

Lawson and Benel wrap up the Ninja Dropout arc and head straight into the Menba arc! Who is Menma? Why doesn't he 'memba?! What's with his ocarina of time? Find out on this week's ep

This is a weird one! You think it would be a regular episode where we talk about the Ninja Murder boners but somewhere down the line it goes off the rails! 

We wrap up the Genjutsu arc and discover the power of the Yakumo's genjutsu. After, we do a one-off with a great national treasure tea-cup and a garbage human that Naruto and Kiba have to protect! 

Big Kurenai energy on this twisted mind-bending arc as Naruto and Team 8 tackle the tale of Yakumo and the Kurama family! 

Lawson and Benel celebrate the show's historic 200th episode by watching the best damn filler arc this series has ever done as the Genno arc speeds towards it climatic conclusion. Who lives?(Everyone). Who dies? (No one). Who remembers this arc? (We do)! 

We're revving up for the Naruto 200 episode with the start of one of the best arcs in the series, the Genno arc! The Konoha 11 show up and do dope stuff while solving the mystery of the trapper ninja! It's so good, you won't wanna miss it! 

Barreling through some Rock Lee/Might Guy centric episodes this week and starting off the Genno Arc, one of the absolutely best filler arcs of the series! Like, share and subscribe. Give us a five star review on Itunes and follow us on twitter @tnarutopodcast 

It's a set of stand-alone episodes that range from cool in spots to the worst stand-alone so far, as Rock Lee starts his own dojo and Naruto, Kiba and Hinata encounter a living castle! It's so bad that it's bad. 

Finishing off the Village of Hidden Green arch with a bang and a whimper. Hinata faces off with Jiga, who can magnitize sand and Naruto beats Renga using a headband. Then, it's the most body-shaming episode yet! Check out how Ino is absolutely the worst! 

Dun-nuh-nuh-nuhnuh-nuh! Bwamp! On this episode, Lawson and Benel continue their trip through the land of (sticky) green and meet the rest of the Janin brothers, evil villains who are evil! We see Hinata fight Jiga and Naruto beats Renga with a headband! 

Recorded live from Liberty City Anime Con comes this special episode of Talking Naruto with special guest Alex Ptak and Jeremy Hammond of Ballin Out Super (https://soundcloud.com/ballin-out-super)! We talk about the first epsiode of the Merchant Mover arc and it's a doozy, with Chogi helping to move stuff and riffs galore!  Note: I misspoke near the beginning of this episode. This episode is...

No new episode this week, so please enjoy this special episode taken from the Patreon where Lawson and Claire talk about Mob Psycho 100! 

No big arc this weekends! It's nothing but fun, dopey One-Off episodes starting with Kiba having an extra long day, Naruto's new best friend and Shino's creepy laughs!  Reminder: Talking Naruto will be at Liberty City Anime Con this Friday, August 9th, for Talking Naruto Live! with special guest Ballin' Out Super! Tickets available at https://libertycityanimecon.com/

We continue our Star Village arc as Tsumeru gets captured, Naruto falls off a cliff and we learn the secret origins of the Star Village. Also, no one listens to Neji and we can't figure out what Rock Lee and Ten-Ten were even here for! Supervillainy is afoot on this episode, for sure.  Addendum: Talking Naruto is doing a live show at Liberty City Anime Con (https://libertycityanimecon.com/) a...

It's an adventure in the village of *whispers* Stars *whisper* with Benel and Lawson unravel the secrets of the star village, oblique Family Guy references, and ninjas that fly! 

We're on to a new filler arc and it's time for Kiba, Hinata and Naruto to learn how to work together as they go on a treasure hunt! Wackiness ensues as Kiba equips himself well and Naruto proves to be a difficult jerk while they deal with face-stealing ninjas!  Announcement! We're going to part of Liberty City Anime Con 2019 with a live Talking Naruto panel on Friday, August 9th at 8pm! Get t...

Can it get more summer fun on these water and wild Naruto episodes? I think not. Benel and Lawson talk about the Isaribi's transformation, what Amachi's plan actually entails and what may be the worst fight in Naruto history. Summertiiiiime and the living is easy! 

Happy July 4th! As a special treat, we're releasing the Maile Flanagan interview we did to Patreon. We go over Maile's career, her origins in improv, voice acting and Naruto! Believe it! 

Oh where did my fishy went? Where did my fishy go? Oh fishy fish fish fish. Oh fishy oh. What I mean is, Benel and Lawson talk about the Demon of the Sea arc of Naruto and we go off the rails as we try to wrap our minds around the Village hidden in the sea, Ako's flashback, what's Shino doing, and the mysterious diver girl that the team meets. Splish-Splash guy! Get in the pool, the water is wet!

What is up with the Leaf Village and it's weird anti-refugee stance? Benel and Lawson investigates this episode as they wrap up the Cursed Warrior arc! Plus, they make some noodles with Ramen Guy at Ichiraku in the Chogi/Naruto one-off! 

Yes, we're surprised as you are by this title. This next set of fillers are actually well done and pretty interesting plotted episodes revolving around the Land of Birds and the mystery of the Cursed Warrior, a ghostly specter that haunts the leaders of the village. There's a lot of cool intrigue and mystery in these set and we hope you enjoy them with us!

Lawson and Benel battle through more fillers, with episode 161 being a ridiculous "Rock Lee"/"Mighty Guy" gag episode and episode 162 setting up a pretty interesting intrigue arc involving a ghostly warrior. 

He's Gatsu! And there's a lot that happens in three quick fillers. We have a good for nothing Naruto taking Konohamaru's team for a training exercise and we meet the bounty hunter Sazanami, who is chased by Gatsu! The World's Most Boisterous Bounty Hunter! 

Welcome to another episode and another filler arc. This week, we couldn't wait to get through with it, so we watched four episodes instead of three, wrapping up the Raiga arc. Neji Byakugan is fucking useless. Rock Lee eats a lot of curry. Ten-Ten hates the disabled. What the hell is with this Ramenru? And what does anyone wants? Who knows! These are a bad series of episodes and they just keep goi...

This week, Lawson and Benel wrap up the Bikochu arc with some insights about the really good animation style, talk about how bees make sticky wax (they do) and Naruto's gas ruined everything. Nothing gets accomplished in these fillers!
