Book 2: The Blind Bandit

Aang finds an Earthbending teacher - a shit-talking blind girl.

This is a single post for a single episode because it introduces my favorite character;

This girl, for the next seventy-some odd years, held the title of the greatest Earthbender in the world - starting from twelve years old.

Also this was supposed to go out way earlier, sorry to anyone who was hotly anticipating it or something.

#26: Wizards (1977)

I'm too bemused for a snappy one-liner. 

Can you believe it, this came out the same year as Star Wars: A New Hope.

Two movies about fantasy heroes fighting fascists that involve Mark Hamill. Exactly what we needed in 2018.

#25 : Miss Hokusai

Dedication + Imagination = Sensation

I once read a snippet of a review for this movie, saying that unless one was Japanese, you would miss a lot of the nuance in this movie.

Maybe it did. I still enjoyed it.

Star Vs The Forces Of Evil S3 E 31 & 32

Once again, a pair of episodes I wasn't looking forward to that ended up being very interesting.

"Maybe everyone's out grocery shopping or on a picnic. That's what peasants do, right?"

#24: Annihilation

Mutant science vs. world biology. Guess which one wins.

The real reason this movie was in the Festibration was because of Oscar Isaac...who isn't here a ton and man, he's great at playing creepy, but I've always liked Natalie Portman too, so call it a win/win.

Star Vs The Forces Of Evil S3 E 29 & 30

I was fairly prepared just to talk about The Butterfly Trap because that's where the plot is, but damn if Ludo Where Art Thou didn't completely blow that one away.

"What did you do with my daughter?"

#23: The Hurricane Heist

A government stooge, a redneck ex-soldier, and his meteorologist brother stop poor people from stealing 600$m dollars at 600 MPH.

And they're the "good" guys!
