On Air Bender 17: Zuko Painbow

Max and Dale have a grand task in front of them this episode, that of discussing all the finer points of the season one finale of Avatar: The Last Airbender. So of course Max immediately derails into dirty Grinch memes. Dale gets them back on track, though, so they go through every silly, scary, romantic and amazing twist and turn in this awesome piece of television. So press play for an epic tour of the two-part finale "The Siege of the North". It's a long one! (...Mr. Grinch...)

On Air Bender 16: Non-Bending Hands

Brrr, it's cold in here! There must be some Waterbenders in the atmosphere! This week, Max and Dale discuss the A:TLA episode "The Waterbending Master", full of romance, mystery, and outdated sexism. They riddle over the physics of a city made of ice and Max drops a big mea culpa about name pronunciation. It's a chilly-yet-cozy episode, so grab a mug of cocoa and snuggle into some earbuds, dear listeners!

On Air Bender 15: Yak Gak Run!

Max and Dale are back to discuss the Avatar episode “The Northern Air Temple”, so this episode basically just consists of Max getting all hyped up about battle sequences. They do find some time to opine on the corporate influence of Nickelodeon, then Dale lists every animated movie he’s ever heard of. It’s a hoot *AND* a holler!

On Air Bender 14: Little Fire Benders Everywhere

This week, Max and Dale discuss the episode "The Deserter". They chat about best practices when panicking on stage and the ecosystems of the elements, and they are reminded that we owe the world our wisdom. It sounds a lot deeper than it is, listeners. Maybe nurse a beer with this one.

On Air Bender 13: Insult Me Further, Mistress

This week, Max and Dale dive into the Avatar: The Last Airbender episode "Bato of the Water Tribe". They talk about epic martial arts, sitcom tropes, and fathers leaving. They even invent a little Star Trek spinoff they'll be taking to CBS for pilot season! Wouldn't you love to be a fly on this wall?!

On Air Bender 12: The Invincible Hindentanic

Max and Dale try to fight the future this week, with the A:TLA episode "The Fortuneteller", which of course leads to some lamenting over the patriarchy, some theorizing about the education system of the Water Tribe, and even a Naruto reference. Then they nerd out over DuckTales and The Dragon Prince. I don't think anyone could predict this would be such a rich, full episode!

On Air Bender 11: The Sloth Victim In Seven

This week is all about "The Blue Spirit", full of mystery, action, character drama, and Tsungi Horns. Max tries to describe the symbolism of some frogs and Dale invents Appa bean bag chairs. It's a surreal, creative episode, lovely listeners! Jump inside with us!

On Air Bender 10: Orange Robes at the Starbucks

The time has finally come for Max and Dale to discuss “The Storm”, probably the best episode of the series to this point (and easily in the running for top ten of the series). So, confronted with greatness, they completely lose the thread and end up apologizing to our fathers for shutting them down when they only wanted to help, and affirming that we can share boring stories with our loved ones without fearing their love will falter.

It’s not that they *don’t* make inappropriate jokes while recapping the episode, it’s just that this deep-souled episode just kinda gets to them and they get all weird.

On Air Bender 9: Slobs Versus Snobs


This week, Max and Dale discuss the much-maligned episode "The Great Divide". An episode about stories inspires Max to tell his own origin story where he didn’t get any Jolly Ranchers, while Dale just punches up the script for us. There's no great divide here: this episode is awesome!

On Air Bender 8: You're a Jet All the Way


This week, Max and Dale dawn their bad boy personas to discuss the classic Avatar episode "Jet". We get some lamentation over Katara's predictability in these early episodes, then eventually they relate the whole thing to the current administration. Then they chat about the new Matt Groening series "Disnchantment". It's an emotional rollercoaster, and you've got a ticket!

On Air Bender 7: Mud and Bugs


This week, Max and Dale have way too much fun discussing "The Waterbending Scroll", so of course they get sidetracked by such unrelated topics as the production difficulties of Primer, the changing tone of the Mission: Impossible franchise, and how there's just no pleasing Reddit. They also get to some Avatar-adjacent news! So jump in and catch up!

On Air Bender 6: The Incidental Ghost


This week, Max and Dale make the questionable decision to tackle a two parter in one, very lengthy episode: "The Winter Solstice", parts one ("The Spirit World") and two ("Avatar Roku")! They also get side-tracked, discussing Miyazaki, Solo, and the Crystal Skull of all things. So buckle in for over two hours of hilarity and insight in what could easily have been two episodes of the podcast! Hooray!

On Air Bender 5: The Frodo Tear


After a little break, Max and Dale are back to discuss episode 6 of Avatar: The Last Airbender, “Imprisoned”. It’s a more serious outing than last time, so of course they make tasteless jokes the whole way! Pay close attention and you might even hear a cameo from everyone’s favorite meme, Jocky the Jokester*.

*Not an actual meme.

On Air Bender 4: Johnny's Like 'Nope'


This week we're discussing the hilarious and bizarre episode "The King of Omashu"--episode 5. We also get into how insane Earthbender culture must be, and the magic of the Simpson's cough. Put us into your ears, lovely listeners! It'll make ya a mad genius.

On Air Bender 3: Optics, Aang


Max and Dale discuss episode 4 of Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Warriors of Kyoshi. They also talk about "Friday Flip-Up Day", hand fan motifs, the appreciation of fantasy animals, and anime as a milestone in the ever-progressing history of art. It gets deep, but it's still completely idiotic, so don't you worry, listeners--ya gotta listen.
