    What A Cartoon! - Invincible - "It's About Time"

    Chosen by premium patron Andrew, we're covering the modern hit comic book adaptation, Invincible!

Then hear us chat about the hourlong first episode (including the shocking twist) on a podcast that really is Invincible (imagine the title card just splashed on your screen)!

    Chosen by premium patron ToonJay, it's time for us to cover one of the most influential animated series of the last 20 years, Avatar: The Last Airbender! When it debuted on Nick in 2005, it introduced a whole generation of kids to anime-style action, a lore-filled linear adventure, and enough ships to drown the internet. All that, plus a discussion of a fan-favorite story that's full of pro wrestling references. So grab a cabbage and listen!

Isn’t this a show about cartoons?

These are two relentlessly hateful “progressives” whose deep-seated resentment against conservative White Christians somehow permeates every episode of this show which is ostensibly about humorous cartoons. Incessant assertions that Canada is better than the United States, whining about or policing White voice actors playing non-White roles, and telling you which celebrities are Good and Bad according to the moral spectrum of our hosts are regular features. They somehow manage to parrot the word “racist” multiple times in every show, similarly to how their Trump Derangement Syndrome (bizarre obsession with virtue signaling against Donald Trump) persists even into the year 2023. I hope they get the help they need.
