November 27, 2018 05:48 - 52.2 MBMax 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...) Click h...
On Air Bender 16: Non-Bending Hands
November 17, 2018 20:39 - 28.9 MBBrrr, 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 This week, Max and Dale discuss the A:TLA episode "The Waterbending Master", full of romance, mystery, and outdated sexism.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! Click here to listen or right-click and 'Save as...' to download.
On Air Bender 15: Yak Gak Run!
October 26, 2018 04:49 - 27.3 MBMax 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
October 15, 2018 01:02 - 27.6 MBThis week, Max and Dale discuss the episode "The Deserter".

On Air Bender 12: The Invincible Hindentanic
October 01, 2018 03:04 - 27.5 MBMax 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.

On Air Bender 11: The Sloth Victim In Seven
September 24, 2018 02:47 - 22.1 MBThis week is all about "The Blue Spirit", full of mystery, action, character drama, and Tsungi Horns.

On Air Bender 10: Orange Robes at the Starbucks
September 12, 2018 04:44 - 31.4 MBThe 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 whil...
On Air Bender 9: Slobs Versus Snobs
August 30, 2018 04:25 - 26.3 MBThis 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! Click here to listen or right-click and 'Save as...' to download.
On Air Bender 8: You're a Jet All the Way
August 23, 2018 05:27 - 23.7 MBThis 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! Click here to listen or right-click and 'Save as...' to download.
On Air Bender 7: Mud and Bugs
August 14, 2018 02:29 - 31.4 MBThis 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! Click here to listen or right-click and 'Save as...' to download.
On Air Bender 6: The Incidental Ghost
August 07, 2018 04:06 - 151 MBThis 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! Click here to listen or right-click and 'Save as...' to download.
On Air Bender 5: The Frodo Tear
July 30, 2018 05:46 - 20.6 MBAfter 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. Click here to listen or right-click and 'Save as...' to download.
On Air Bender 4: Johnny's Like 'Nope'
July 16, 2018 03:18 - 17.1 MBThis week we're discussing the hilarious and bizarre episode "The King of Omashu"--episode 5.

On Air Bender 3: Optics, Aang
July 09, 2018 00:46 - 17.6 MBMax 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. Click here to listen or right-click and 'Save as...' to download.
