Ah yes, here we are. One of the Famously Bad episodes of Avatar, which means it would be a low average in any other show. Even as we try not to judge it by its reputation and/or memes, we still find it... condescending? A bit tone deaf? Paints centrists as the real victims? We're not quite sure what they're actually trying to say here. But it's okay that this one's a bit of a stinker, because on our end, MARY GOT A CAT! Say hello to Ness, of whom pictures can absolutely be found on our Twitter. ...

First and foremost I have to deeply DEEPLY apologize for the lateness of this episode, I had it and it was up on Patreon and I just straight up forgot to put it on the main feed. ._. Thank you all for your patience! === Welcome to the Secret Tunnel, the Rec Room-alike where we take a break from painstakingly recapping a show in order to talk about side material, fan ephemera, and really just whatever the heck we want. This time, we're diving deep into the world of New Avatar Memes, which we are ...

Listeners, hide your bananas, cause we're about to meet some guerillas. This episode is all about Jet, the freedom fighter dude who is definitely NOT literally just Spike Spiegel from Cowboy Bebop, and Jess is here to discuss how cool his hook swords are and whether or not he would vape in real life (he would). Also, in light of all the strongly-worded emails we've recently received, we've decided to bring back Vriskourse. Lucky you! A couple of notes: - There are minor ATLA spoilers at 1:58:15....

Join your Super Nuclear pals for a lively discussion on whether bare man ass is allowed on Nickelodeon. That's right: it's an episode all about pirate booty! Arrgh! And when you're done listening send us an email! Would YOU eat cabbage that the cabbage merchant had lovingly rubbed on his unshaven face? Would YOU buy a box from a horse-faced man with lipstick that may or may not contain a corpse (the box, not the man)? We're dying to know! === Here are some of the best resources at hand right now...

Happy belated vore day, everyone! And speaking of vore day, Aang's quest to stop the Fire Lord is a little bit like googling that: he's not gonna like what he sees, but may learn something about himself and walk away profoundly changed. In particular, he's going to learn that he has exactly nine months to learn three lifetimes' worth of bending. This episode also gives us the birth of Inventor Sokka, an important facet of his character that'll help us later! Also, Ben's cat gets cancelled. === H...

In this episode, the former half of our very first two-parter, Iroh gets naked, Aang wrestles a bear, and the Super Nuclear Group waxes poetic about America's two favorite underdogs: Jeb Bush and Scrappy Doo!

Hey, remember that one funny meme where Live-Action Aang reminds a group of earthbenders that they are earthbenders? And then they do a choreographed dance routine that results in a single baseball-sized rock to float slowly across the screen? This is the episode that scene was based on. Surprise! It's much better with funny cartoon people. Another thing the live-action movie didn't have: George Takei! Here, he features as a prison warden who sounds exactly like Vincent Price. Or maybe George Ta...

Hello, everyone! This is the first episode of what will from here on be a Patreon-exclusive podcast for donors at the $5 and up level! We hope you enjoy this trip into the glory that is SBT! === Long ago, in 2010, Cartoon Network gave us something very special: a new Genndy Tartakovsky show, in their classic house style of the mid to late nineties. It may have been overshadowed by the shows with the stretchy dog and the hipster bluebird, but Sym-Bionic Titan was something special. And then, when...

This episode is all about King [NAME REDACTED]. But we're not supposed to say his name. We say it dozens of times anyway. And no, for once, it's not K*maeda. But we don't just laugh at our own incompetence. We also laugh at silly internet videos, pausing only to groan at some puns. And somewhere in there, there's some Avatar discussion too. === Click here for a kimchi slap: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pZ7Kj00wJ4 Click here for crab, crab, and crab: https://stereofeathers.tumblr.com/post/187...

This episode takes the Gaang to Kyoshi Island, where Sokka learns respect-women-bending from cool new character Suki. Longtime friend of the show Jess joins us yet again to discuss this and other topics tangentially related to grrrl powah, including: skipping your school's water park trip to watch Avatar, air nomad tourists with fanny packs and floral print robes, Swears for the Classy Gent, and the saga of Dave, the lazy painter of Kyoshi Island. === This episode carries a content warning for d...

Aang, Katara, and Sokka visit the Southern Air Temple and see a bunch of dead bodies. Meanwhile, Mary, David, and Ben revisit a bunch of old jokes that aren't dead but should be. Ben and David make killer observations, Mary sings about cereal, and the trio debates the ethics of pee-bending. Plus, we learn a shocking fact that almost, but not quite, redeems M. Night Shyamalan.

An important note: we had recorded this episode in late May, simply because we were very excited to do so, before the death of George Floyd and the start of the nationwide protests.

The big twist is so momentous, we decided to discuss it first, so if for some insane reason you've been watching the episodes and listening to the podcast at the same time, the best time to stop that was in episode one, you weirdo.

Anakin Skywalker is weeping and does not know why. But that's okay, because our intrepid heroes are off to stop the sand and also become God or something. Also, O turns into a giant white mothman with sharks for arms, which is an image so cool it'll make you forget this show is half French. Also, we...

We then have our traditional bout of Vriskourse - but first, we dive into this episode of Oban Star-Racers, where Molly and Jordan have a non-racing adventure in a spoopy temple.

Feet, and the toes thereof, are discussed with anomalous regularity, as is the movie Paul Blart: Mall Cop. Don't say we didn't warn you. But if you power through, you'll find that we also discuss ferrets, and also David kills Ben repeatedly. So it's not all bad.

You may think it's a long way down the road to Alwas, but that's just peanuts to Oban. Of course, every sci-fi adventure needs a good old-fashioned space pirate, and Lord Furter is here to scratch that itch. perhaps with his tongue. Of course, he's also the first dud rival in the show.
