Real fans know how special the Avatar franchise is to the gang, and bringing the newest Avatar feature film was always going to supersede whatever episode we had lined up next, Xitter leaks and streaming services be damned. And Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender is a great time! It's gorgeously animated, develops some really cool airbending techniques, gives us a broadly well-contained story, and...well, at least Aang has some decent character growth! It's a film that's not without its flaws, and to us superfans of the franchise some of those flaws are particularly egregious, but as far some beautiful bending action in the big '26, this is not so bad :) Content warning: SPOILERS, strong language.

228 | Frozen 2
After taking the magnifying glass to Disney's impressively lucrative Zootopia 2, the gang continues joyriding the sequel train to talk about Frozen 2, another movie that made a cool 1.5 Billy B's but perhaps doesn't hold under our impressively scrutinizing gaze. Indeed, there seem to have been some...disconnects...that occurred as this film was being written; the plot beats seem recycled and haphazardly stitched together, the characters range from being completely shafted (Kristoff) to having negative character growth (honestly both Anna and Elsa), the magic system is nonsensical, and perhaps worst of all, the gang can't even agree whether the stranded Arendellians and Nortuldrans are actually fighting! The gang actually spends, like, half this episode's runtime discussing this completely innocuous scene because Iris can't seem to understand that Sterling K. Brown lowering his guard isn't an indication that these two groups haven't been actively in conflict for 36 years jfc. I'm done writing this blurb honestly this movie's far in the rear view for me, but I hope you get a kick out of this one. Content warning: SPOILERS, strong language, Marcus accidentally calling Kristoff Hans like 10 times during his favorite scene.

227 | The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius
Alex hits the gang with the one-two punch this week, following up our discussion on the Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius film a month ago with our favorite characters, moments, and features of the 2002 TV series, The Adventures of...et cetera. And it's a hit! Even Iris, without the nostalgia the rest of the gang frolics in all episode, is broadly impressed with the show post-season 1 and we're all impressed with this show's writing, its characters, and the very flying-by-the-seat-of-their-pants vibe the writers seemed to have as they put out these wacky and psuedo-scientific obstacles in front of Jimmy, Sheen, Carl, and Cindy. One thing's for sure: it's a brain blast from start to finish. Content warning: strong language.
