Holy sidekicks, Batman! Today we’re talking to our pod-mom and co-host of Talk From Superheroes, Diana McCallum (she/her) about the fandom that brings all the fun (with none of the ‘world saving’ pressure) - sidekicks! Specifically Robin! Hitch up your green briefs and get ready, because we’re learning all about various incarnations of the Boy Wonder, call-in murder votes, sidekick shift scheduling, the best (and gayest) costume variants and why finger stripes are extremely sexy.

10: Kingdom Hearts (with Travis Ryans)

Our friendship is our power! Podcast host and gamer Travis Ryans (they/them) joins us to explain the somewhat confusing and utterly sincere JRPG phenomena that is Kingdom Hearts! We chat about the (literal) elevator pitch that brought the worlds of SquareEnix and Disney together, purchasing keyblades, Donald Ducks sketchy reputation, and why it’s so refreshing to see a series that embraces wholehearted sentimentality in an otherwise pretty “heartless” world.

12: Avatar The Last Airbender (with Kevin Vidal)

Yip Yip! Jump on your beloved air bison and get ready for a tour of the four nations because we’re joined by Kevin Vidal (he/him) as we discuss Avatar The Last Airbender!

We talk about the discipline of element bending (and why you shouldn’t use it for chores), how a kids show managed to take on ‘the horrors of war’, what makes something ‘anime’ and why M. Night Shyamalan’s weirdly gritty adaptation did absolutely everything wrong. This episode has been brought to you by Cabbage Corp.
