We're back after our unintentional hiatus!! This time we wrap up our discussion on Castlevania Season 4. Don't worry about us losing our groove, though — can confirm that our horrid goblin energy is perfectly intact.

Taking another break from Avatar to gush about another favorite of ours that just wrapped up: Castlevania! The discussion mostly focuses on Season 4, as you might expect. Highlights include:

  • Bee's favorite game, Sympathy for the Night
  • Somehow Carmilla is a Jojo
  • hnngg Giant Women
  • Vampire Women just Can't Have Nice Things, Apparently
  • hngadfda Giant wOmen...

Content warning: discussion of violence, sexual violence

Hello, Zuko here! We finally made it to arguably the most important part of the series. How does our discussion stack up? If you guessed that we'd spend several unnecessary minutes discussing horse-related idioms, you're right! And also probably psychic. 

Our episode of Leveling Up with Benjamin Banks:

Part two of the epic mid-season finale of Deep Lore! I mean Avatar. Deep Lore isn't going anywhere. This time, the three of us hype up Zuko and give Nickelodeon the side eye for their handling of this franchise. 

Featuring special guest Benjamin Banks, from Leveling Up with Benjamin Banks!

The Promised Day has arrived. Will our heroes triumph over the volcano dwellers in their ludicrously short window of opportunity? Of course not, because there's like 10 episodes after this. Hope you're ready for at least four extended tangents about other shows and one 15-minute discussion valorizing/criticizing a 12-year-old's approach to romance!

This week, we're taking a short break from Avatar to talk about one of our favorite recent anime! Including a mostly spoiler-free first 10 minutes if you want to go and watch Akudama before listening further. 

Also, special guest Jess! Her twitch: Staye_jes

Get ready for some nightmare fuel. "Oh, because Aang has a lot of nightmares?" No, because Tom & Bee continue to find bizarre and upsetting things to fixate on when they're supposed to be dissecting a cartoon for kids.

Prepare for the scariest story you've ever heard... Tom complaining about the outdoors!!

No but really we get into some good stuff this time. Like how bloodbending is way too scary and awesome for Nickelodeon to have allowed! And other points.

This week, Tom & Bee get into a fierce debate about the ethics of stealing— nah just kidding, this particular theft is 100% morally justified. Kind of. Well either way it's entertaining, and in the end I think we all know that's all that matters.

Oops, we went a bit long on this one again. And honestly? We would have made it twice as long if we didn't have to get this out by the end of the week.

Content warning (ish): Tom and Bee get into a bit of a heated argument over Azula. Nothing totally mean or unpleasant, or at least not meaner than we usually are to each other, but we know some folks are sensitive to arguments, so we wanted to warn just in case.

This time we have a special guest: swordplay and general stage fighting person Rodney Rice! Of course we had to bring him on to talk about the Sword Episode. Also sorry in advance if you're skeeved out by the word "daddy," because Bee got completely broken by all the hot old men here.

Secret identities! Blatant theft! Eco-terrorism! This show really has it all.

Bee has a sore throat this week, so apologies to listeners that wanted to hear her make fun of Tom more often.

Hope you brought enough fire flakes for the whole class, because it's time to go to fire school!! As in Fire Nation school, not like school for fires. I'm pretty sure fire just like does its thing without needing explicit instruction. Could you imagine like a school for sentient fire?  I bet the drama would get real heated!

oh right this is about Avatar tho. Enjoy as Tom accidentally breaks a professional boundar...

Our long awaited return to Avatar content! This episode was packed with so much good stuff, we barely had time to talk about it all. Including:

  • Aang's willingness to listen to anything a ghost tells him
  • THAT bedroom scene. You know the one. 
  • Zuko's ever-plot-important hairstyle

The final (actually final) episode of our Golden Wind coverage. It's almost like we've been stuck in some kind of fated time loop without an end, or something! Hope you were really looking forward to Beth figure out who's topping who and Tom complain more about Diavolo's nonsense! Haha we have fun here.

So, about this one being the final part of the Golden Wind discussion... We may have been a little too optimistic. This IS the final part of the initial recording session, at least! Topics this time around include:

  • A mild analysis of the OPs and EDs
  • Beth continuing to simp for Bucciarati, probably forever
  • Tom being entirely too fixated on a turtle

Shout out (again) to Oceaniz for their video, "The Perfection of Giorno Gio...

  • "La Squadra's" lack of actual "la planning"
  • Giorno gets everyone killed, lol woops
  • Beth's undying affection for a gay zombie mobster

Our triumphant return to Jojo! There's a lot to dig into this time around. As usual with these one-off episodes, we record without any notes, so expect the discussion to bounce all over the place. 

Important discussion topics include:

  • How much of this one did Araki make  up on the fly?
  • Should Yukako have gotten a second chance so easily? 
  • Kira is hot, apparently
  • Where did that baby come from, anyway??
