Summary

The Brendans are joined by long-time internet buddy Tomas Lenander to talk live-action anime adaptations to our weebish hearts' content. We talk the ways in which Netflix's Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2 fails where the streamer's One Piece adaptation has only gotten stronger in its 2nd season. Here there be many spoilers, but we also have spoiler-free thoughts on Evil Dead Burn , The Invite , Leviticus , and thoughts on Independence Day at 30 years. Our Opening/Closing Music is from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): "Skies of Hope" by RA https://uppbeat.io/t/ra/skies-of-hope "Pray to the Sun" Music & Lyrics by Sonya Belousova and Giona Osteinelli, featuring Declan de Barra and The Hu.
