  • TAR #19 - This Might be a Silly Episode of Super Nuclear (Siege of the North, Part 1)

    10/12/2020 Duration: 01h26min

    Good news, everyone! We heard your complaint about there not being enough year-end holidays and have magnanimously decided that December 8th is Super Nuclear Day. You may curry favor with our traditional mascots, the Super Alpaca and Gnuclear Gnome, by supporting us on Patreon. Good fortune is sure to follow. In this episode, Katara does some badass stuff, Zhao does some bad stuff (and is an ass), and we talk about a horrible nightmare we all had were M. Night Shyamalan made a terrible movie based on this awesome cartoon. We also talk about Hades, laugh at superstitious yokels, and look at the single worst tweet ever made by anyone, ever. === Click here for Goofy and Homura!: https://64.media.tumblr.com/6b716d1a34a65fb7dbb10eda9ec0da5f/tumblr_nl8wz1JHvu1rjov24o1_640.jpg === Here are some of the best resources at hand right now to educate yourself, donate/generate ad revenue, and protect Black lives and Black safety: https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/ Homeless Black Trans Women Fund -    https://www.gofundme

  • TAR #18 - The Butthole of Time (The Waterbending Master)

    02/12/2020 Duration: 01h45min

    Apologies for the wait, everyone! Moving and life got in the way but we are BACK! Welcome back to The Avatar Recycle, the show where we talk about our cats and then, if we have time, Avatar. In this episode, Mary moves down the street, Ben moves across the country, and David stays right the fuck where he is, because in an ever-changing world, it's nice to have a little stability. You're welcome. It's the first part of the two-part season finale, wherein our merry gang of goofuses travels to the north pole to fight sexism. Iroh sings, Zuko dies, Wakko packs away the snacks, and there is a very real chance that your dad isn't actually your dad. === Click below for the posts discussed in this episode: https://jewfrogs.tumblr.com/post/623118496638926848/obviously-the-episode-doesnt-directly-say-that https://kurtwagners.tumblr.com/post/146667887815/sorry-if-im-bothering-you-but-can-you-share-why === Here are some of the best resources at hand right now to educate yourself, donate/generate ad revenue, and protect

  • TAR #17 - The Mysterious Skywalkers (The Northern Air Temple)

    14/11/2020 Duration: 01h49min

    Donald Trump slowly shrinks and transforms into a corn cob. Ben's mother humiliates him in front of the host of Nickelodeon's Slime Time Live. David crushes his own mother's dreams of being a showbiz mom. Mary roasts her dad's exceptionally dadly qualities. And on Avatar, some kid has to cope with the fact that his dad is in bed with the fantasy reich. That's right, it's an episode all about the trials and tribulations of family relationships. (And moreover, Donald Trump losing.)   ===   First, deep apologies for how late this episode is coming out. I (Mary) was moving this past week, and between packing and everything else time and energy to edit was tough to find. But I'm all moved now and ready to handle anything!   Second, there will be no new episode this coming Tuesday/Wednesday. This is because, at this same time, Ben is ALSO moving! And his move is cross-country, so he'll be out of commission for a bit. We'll be back on the 24th/25th with more Avatar Recyclin' glory!    Click here for the

  • TAR #16 - High on That Dank Jeong Jeong (The Deserter feat. Jess!)

    28/10/2020 Duration: 01h59min

      This time it is David who will not be with us for this one, and Jess who will rise to the occasion and take his place as we take on a SURPRISINGLY intense ATLA episode! All the more so for Mary, because she never saw it the first time round. What does that mean for you all? A whole lot of well deserved slamming on Heart of Darkness, the secrets of Ben's clown heritage, Aang's best Cornholio impression, and so, so many stories about cats. Content warnings for discussions of racism and colonialism. As well as cat poop, and spoilers for Death Note.  === Check out all of Jess's works at http://beachghost.carrd.co !  === Here are some of the best resources at hand right now to educate yourself, donate/generate ad revenue, and protect Black lives and Black safety: https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/ Homeless Black Trans Women Fund -    https://www.gofundme.com/f/homeless-black-trans-women-fund?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet === Follow us on Twitter at @super_nuclear, o

  • TAR #15 - The Only Way Out Is Through The Perfume Department (Bato of the Water Tribe)

    23/10/2020 Duration: 01h36min

    This episode is all about trust, in the sense that it betrayed ours by being kinda crappy and on-the-nose, as well as having uncomfortable sexual undertones. And speaking of that, watch us revive old Homestuck memes you hoped to never see again! (At least Sokka gets to be smart in this one.) The Super Nuclear Group would also like to remind our fellow dirty, smelly Yanks to vote, vote, vote! For Joe Biden if at all possible, or failing that, for the D next to his name. We love Joe Biden's D. Can't get enough of it, really. We also talk Simpsons, Machine of Death, and Reylos, who are all a bunch of [VERY LOVELY PEOPLE]. (Also, apologies for the delay getting this one up - it's been a busy week! Also also, Mary is indeed okay - my coughing stopped shortly after the episode ended and it hasn't come back!)   ===   Click here for some bad cat advice: https://preview.redd.it/kxoan399fit51.jpg?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=8ba2347fa70e629bc1fe5055b12d2838aa035523   Click for a pixelated boat:

  • TAR #14 - Girls? I Heard Of Em (The Fortuneteller feat. Jess!)

    14/10/2020 Duration: 02h02min

    This is one of those cartoon episodes that tries to be about faith vs. empiricism, but in a way that doesn't piss off any homeschool moms and/or the ACLU. Surprisingly, it doesn't suck, and in fact taught us a very valuable lesson. It taught us what platypuses eat. (It's pebbles and small mollusks, apparently.)   Join us as we discuss our favorite flowers, poke some well-deserved fun at the British, an exhibit an appreciation for Aunt Wu that, at times, pokes a toe over the line into low-key thirst.   ===   Check out Jess's many works at https://beachghost.carrd.co/ !

  • TAR #13 - Cough Drop Box Beard (The Blue Spirit feat. Jess!)

    01/10/2020 Duration: 01h44min

    In this episode, the role of Ben is played by our good friend Jess, but don't worry, we're definitely not classing up the joint! Much merriment is had discussing the rare and elusive Sugondese frogs. (Would you suck on them? Tell us in the comments!) We also discover that the crazy old people of the Avatar universe are a lot less racist than ours. === Click here for the best cow joke of 1891: https://64.media.tumblr.com/a83caaae40468835a075aa6a8801c98c/e7768bd5fb5c9855-1f/s500x750/e8ab9f53c543abf1abc81b4ef25971b209e29027.jpg === Here are some of the best resources at hand right now to educate   yourself, donate/generate ad revenue, and protect Black lives and Black safety:  https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/  Homeless Black Trans Women Fund -    https://www.gofundme.com/f/homeless-black-trans-women-fund?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet === Follow us on Twitter at @super_nuclear, or send us your feedback at supernucleargroup@gmail.com !

  • TAR #12 - Twice The Duck For Your Buck (The Storm)

    30/09/2020 Duration: 02h19min

    This episode involves Aang and Iroh telling heartbreaking stories of past trauma whilst they and their friends huddle around a campfire. Celebrate the occasion by listening to three nerds talk about My Big Fat Greek Wedding whilst hunched over their computers. Be warned: this episode contains more vagina references and discussion than the average Super Nuclear production. (We feel that we really outdid ourselves this time). Note: We ended up recording this over the course of two days because Mary's throat got too sore to continue the first time. Ben's audio is a little fuzzy on the first day - apologies for that! (And apologies for the delay as well. Time and time again, I swear I've uploaded this episode! TAR #13 will be out tomorrow.) === Click here for the meme about saying fuck: https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/001/353/764/4cd.png  Click here for NOT MY BURGER NOOO: https://www.tiktok.com/@khris.goesrawr/video/6853901880070819077?lang=en Click here for kitty Valkyrie's GoFundMe: https://www.g

  • TAR #11 - Both Sides: The Episode (The Great Divide)

    18/09/2020 Duration: 01h42min

    Ah yes, here we are. One of the Famously Bad episodes of Avatar, which means it would be a low average in any other show. Even as we try not to judge it by its reputation and/or memes, we still find it... condescending? A bit tone deaf? Paints centrists as the real victims? We're not quite sure what they're actually trying to say here.  But it's okay that this one's a bit of a stinker, because on our end, MARY GOT A CAT! Say hello to Ness, of whom pictures can absolutely be found on our Twitter. And stick around to listen as we avoid talking about this episode by any means necessary, including crabs, "Weed la Weed," and the the Adam Sandler movies we maybe tolerate.  === Click here for some very cute Neon Genesis Evangelion art: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Eh6B5-pXgAAu5s2?format=jpg&name=small  Click here for some Spongebob Vocaloids: https://twitter.com/redbuddi/status/1305216930547150848 , https://twitter.com/redbuddi/status/1304309204409348101 , https://twitter.com/redbuddi/status/1304309204409348101

  • TAR - Secret Tunnel #1 - Spotted Bat Appreciation Zone

    14/09/2020 Duration: 01h08min

    First and foremost I have to deeply DEEPLY apologize for the lateness of this episode, I had it and it was up on Patreon and I just straight up forgot to put it on the main feed. ._. Thank you all for your patience! === Welcome to the Secret Tunnel, the Rec Room-alike where we take a break from painstakingly recapping a show in order to talk about side material, fan ephemera, and really just whatever the heck we want. This time, we're diving deep into the world of New Avatar Memes, which we are so very grateful for, and sharing some character tidbits from the artbook...   But first, let's talk about Code Lyoko! It's coming to French Netflix (the only real Netflix, according to the French), and you'd better believe we have opinions on that. Delight as we surprise you with more facts about Noam Kaniel than you could possibly be interested in. Then, we dive into the one topic you've always wanted to hear about: how flying bison do it. You perv.   === Some of the posts we discussed in the episode: http

  • TAR #10 - Wow Cool Hook Swords!! (Jet)

    03/09/2020 Duration: 02h12min

    Listeners, hide your bananas, cause we're about to meet some guerillas. This episode is all about Jet, the freedom fighter dude who is definitely NOT literally just Spike Spiegel from Cowboy Bebop, and Jess is here to discuss how cool his hook swords are and whether or not he would vape in real life (he would). Also, in light of all the strongly-worded emails we've recently received, we've decided to bring back Vriskourse. Lucky you! A couple of notes: - There are minor ATLA spoilers at 1:58:15.  - We learned about Chadwick Boseman's death while recording, and discussed it for several minutes. This begins at 1:02:30.  === Check out our fantastic friend Jess's many glorious projects at https://beachghost.carrd.co/ ! === Click here to learn how to read Homestuck: https://www.wikihow.com/Read-Homestuck  Click here for Oops All Moisture Packets: https://scontent.fdet1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/118474276_10157984197322496_8361091499623872371_n.jpg?_nc_cat=111&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=jEFyynxRdsEAX9pxKDC&

  • TAR #9 - Surrender Your Booty (The Waterbending Scroll)

    20/08/2020 Duration: 01h20min

    Join your Super Nuclear pals for a lively discussion on whether bare man ass is allowed on Nickelodeon. That's right: it's an episode all about pirate booty! Arrgh! And when you're done listening send us an email! Would YOU eat cabbage that the cabbage merchant had lovingly rubbed on his unshaven face? Would YOU buy a box from a horse-faced man with lipstick that may or may not contain a corpse (the box, not the man)?

    13/08/2020 Duration: 01h23min

    Happy belated vore day, everyone! And speaking of vore day, Aang's quest to stop the Fire Lord is a little bit like googling that: he's not gonna like what he sees, but may learn something about himself and walk away profoundly changed. In particular, he's going to learn that he has exactly nine months to learn three lifetimes' worth of bending. This episode also gives us the birth of Inventor Sokka, an important facet of his character that'll help us later! Also, Ben's cat gets cancelled. === Here are some of the best resources at hand right now to educate yourself, donate/generate ad revenue, and protect Black lives and Black safety:  https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/  Homeless Black Trans Women Fund -    https://www.gofundme.com/f/homeless-black-trans-women-fund?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet === Follow us on Twitter at @super_nuclear, or send us your feedback at supernucleargroup@gmail.com !

    30/07/2020 Duration: 02h34min

    In this episode, the former half of our very first two-parter, Iroh gets naked, Aang wrestles a bear, and the Super Nuclear Group waxes poetic about America's two favorite underdogs: Jeb Bush and Scrappy Doo! Think we can't prattle about this for three straight hours?

  • TAR #6 - A Powerful Nut (Imprisoned)

    23/07/2020 Duration: 01h37min

    Hey, remember that one funny meme where Live-Action Aang reminds a group of earthbenders that they are earthbenders? And then they do a choreographed dance routine that results in a single baseball-sized rock to float slowly across the screen? This is the episode that scene was based on. Surprise! It's much better with funny cartoon people. Another thing the live-action movie didn't have: George Takei! Here, he features as a prison warden who sounds exactly like Vincent Price. Or maybe George Takei always sounds like that. === Click here for hilarious meme images: https://kiaraalazulu.tumblr.com/post/623360261134417920/when-your-bf-is-the-fire-lord  === All of our Patreon proceeds for the month of June have been donated to the Community Bail Fund!

    16/07/2020 Duration: 01h35min

    Hello, everyone! This is the first episode of what will from here on be a Patreon-exclusive podcast for donors at the $5 and up level! We hope you enjoy this trip into the glory that is SBT! === Long ago, in 2010, Cartoon Network gave us something very special: a new Genndy Tartakovsky show, in their classic house style of the mid to late nineties. It may have been overshadowed by the shows with the stretchy dog and the hipster bluebird, but Sym-Bionic Titan was something special. And then, when the world needed it most, they canceled it. Join us as we recap the best darn fusion of John Hughes and giant mecha anime that Cartoon Network ever swept under the rug. The story of an alien princess, her bodyguard, their robot buddy, and a hat that may or may not be evil in a quadrangle of trouble. Along the way, Ben accidentally convinces David that Little Caesar's is banned in New York, David accidentally convinces Mary that Popeye is owned by the Kinks, and Michael accidentally believes he is allowed in the booksh

    09/07/2020 Duration: 01h29min

    This episode is all about King [NAME REDACTED]. But we're not supposed to say his name. We say it dozens of times anyway. And no, for once, it's not K*maeda. But we don't just laugh at our own incompetence. We also laugh at silly internet videos, pausing only to groan at some puns.

    This episode takes the Gaang to Kyoshi Island, where Sokka learns respect-women-bending from cool new character Suki. Longtime friend of the show Jess joins us yet again to discuss this and other topics tangentially related to grrrl powah, including: skipping your school's water park trip to watch Avatar, air nomad tourists with fanny packs and floral print robes, Swears for the Classy Gent, and the saga of Dave, the lazy painter of Kyoshi Island. === This episode carries a content warning for discussion of transphobia at 1:27:00.

Ben and David make killer observations, Mary sings about cereal, and the trio debates the ethics of pee-bending. Plus, we learn a shocking fact  that almost, but not quite, redeems M.
