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.
