In which Michelle and Hailey approach a milestone and dissect the wonders and woes of “The Swamp.” They delve into the concepts of unity, dignity and death, in addition to getting in a few digs at the expense of their eternal pet peeves, the swampbenders. In other news, there is a terrific report from NYCC, a bit of shipping and an important date from Nickelodeon that is not nearly as exciting as it rightfully should be.
Finally, what do you think we should do for our 20th episode?
New episodes of Avatar are to begin broadcasting once again in the United States on July 14th! A banner now appears at the bottom of the world map on the Avatar site on Nick.com which reads, “All new episodes of Avatar return Monday, July 14!” Check out the Avatar Nick site to see for yourself!
July 14th. What does this mean for the DVDs? Why are they waiting so long? Should we just stop worrying and get down to the business of being excited?
To that end, ASN has also received a high-quality, scream-less version of the new trailer shown at NYCC (of which deliciously analyzable screenshots are also available at ASN.) Geek to your heart’s content, everyone!
In which Michelle and Hailey return to their podcasting duties and, due to various environmental and psychological factors, talk for just under an hour. The discussion includes a long-winded debate on Mai’s fundamental nature, a reference to King Lear and our longest and largest news section yet—July 2nd, 2010, people! (How old will YOU be?) This episode concludes with a significant volume of email questions and an explanation of why Bendercast is currently not co-ed.
