Episode 08: Season Finale & Korra

—-> Episode 08: Season 1 Wrap Up PLUS Legend of Korra <—-

Hey ATC listeners! Welcome to the end of season wrap up. It’s going to be a short podcast, and the reason for that is the same reason our season 1 is ending  earlier than we’ve planned: Jon’s computer went kablooie. He will be back as soon as he’s able to replacement, and rest assured that as much as you might be upset that you have to wait for our next episode, just think of poor Jon, who will be waiting the same amount of time to be able to check email and stream Netflix again.

First world problems, we know.

So we’re breaking from the podcast for a few weeks, but we’re going to take the downtime to be super prepared for  Season 2. We’ve had a lot of listener requests that we’d like to follow up on – and you can still send us suggestions to feedback@animatedthingsclub.com

So, in the meantime, at the end of this episode, I have special guest Steve, discussing the premier of Legend of Korra. Three cheers for Steve! I’m also going to outline a few things that Jon and I recommend of what’s been airing recently.

Thundercats has been back on the air for a little while, and an episode aired on April 14^th thatJon recommends as the highlight of the season so far. It’s called “Native Son” and deals with Tigra’s actual tribe and family (for those of you who don’t regularly watch the show, Tigra is Lion-O’s adopted brother in this incarnation of the property), and is heavily flavored with horror movie influences. It’s the first of what seems to be a series dealing with the backstory of the supporting cast of Thundercats.

My Little Pony just had their series 2 finale, which I couldn’t recommend highly enough. It was a two episode finale that aired on the same day in the same hour, featuring 3 new songs, a pretty awesome fight sequence, and really truly reads like a one-hour long Disney movie. As always, you can catch MLP on iTunes (the finale is called A Canterlot Wedding), and you can also check out the My Little Pony podcast that Jon and I put out in January to hear a lot more about what we think about the show. You can find that episode (and the rest of the ATC library on our website, Animated Things Club.)

In other news, we’re going to have another Muppet Movie, yay! The press release has been out for a while, but it’s still news to some people.

We both recommend Korra, and after the break you’ll hear Steve and I talk about the show a little bit.

Hey, ATC is on iTunes! Maybe you drop by and review us sometime, huh?
