Podcasts about ba sing se

Welcome to Season 6, Episode 31! Today's guest came from an artistic family, but also was literally discovered on the streets of Tokyo which gave a huge boost to his career. Actor, writer, and producer Gabriel Prevost-Takahashi was born in Tokyo, spent time in Canada while growing up, and has worked on stage and screen for film and television.   Gabriel has appeared in projects ranging from the survival thriller Something in the Water to one of the most acclaimed television series of recent years, FX's Shōgun, where he played a Gray Guard and had the opportunity to work on a production celebrated for putting Japanese language, actors, and culture at the center of its storytelling. More recently, Gabriel can be seen on Netflix's live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender in the recurring role of Lieutenant Khettry, a soldier serving on the front lines of Ba Sing Se. Gabriel is also interested in creating stories himself. As a writer and producer, he has been developing projects including Go For Broke, a limited series exploring the experiences of Japanese American soldiers during World War II, as well as other film and television projects that give him opportunities both in front of and behind the camera. In our conversation we take time to talk about his background, the impact of getting noticed on the streets by legendary photographer Leslie Kee, what it was like for him to join a project like Shōgun, the responsible of being part of a global phenomena like Avatar: The Last Airbender, his hopes with Go For Broke, and much more. To learn more about Gabriel, you can watch any of his projects and you can follow him on Instagram @gabriel__prevost.

Editor – Payton Koch For Avatar: The Last Airbender editor Payton Koch, this job offered a very different kind of editorial challenge from his Emmy-nominated work on Only Murders in the Building. The series has to move between large-scale action, visual effects, martial arts, comedy, mythology and coming-of-age drama, often within the same sequence. It also has to satisfy a fanbase that knows this world extremely well while still making the story accessible to viewers coming to it for the first time. Based on the Nickelodeon series created by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, Avatar: The Last Airbender is set in a world divided into four nations — Water, Earth, Fire and Air — where certain people can "bend," or control, one of those elements. At the center of the story is Aang, the last surviving Air Nomad and the next Avatar, the one person capable of mastering all four elements and restoring balance to a world at war. Season Two takes Aang, Katara and Sokka deeper into the Earth Kingdom as they search for an earthbending teacher and make their way toward Ba Sing Se, the massive, heavily fortified capital of the Earth Kingdom. Along the way, the series expands its world with new allies, new enemies and a larger sense of the political and emotional cost of the Fire Nation's war. PAYTON KOCH Payton Koch is an Emmy-nominated picture editor with a diverse range of post-production credits on popular television series, including American Horror Story, Ratched and Only Murders in the Building. His work on the Hulu comedy series Only Murders in the Building earned him multiple ACE Eddie Award nominations, as well as his first Primetime Emmy nomination in 2024. His additional credits include American Crime Story, The Politician, Home Before Dark, Just Beyond and The Boys in the Band.   Visit ExtremeMusic for all your production audio needs.

Supergirl finally hits theaters and Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2 lands on Netflix, so Frank and Jonathan break down whether either adaptation lives up to the source material. One earns real praise for protecting what makes its characters great, while the other leaves one of the best endings in modern comics on the cutting room floor. The guys also react to PlayStation deleting 551 movies from UK libraries with no refunds and what that means for digital ownership, plus a stack of DC animation news including an Absolute Batman series, a Joker anime, and a Krypto show from the SpongeBob team. Jonathan checks in on his first read of Dungeon Crawler Carl, and Frank previews weekly X-Men '97 reviews coming to the Geek Freaks YouTube channel. Timestamps and Topics 00:00 Intro and Jonathan's Dungeon Crawler Carl Check-In 03:05 PlayStation Deletes 551 Movies and the Digital Ownership Debate 08:00 DC Animation News: Absolute Batman, Joker Laugh Riot, and Krypto 14:45 Why Animation Is the Truest Form of Adaptation 18:42 Supergirl Movie Review and Comic Comparisons 32:27 Supergirl's Changed Ending and Final Ratings 37:04 Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2 Review 51:04 X-Men '97 Weekly Reviews and Recommendations Key Takeaways PlayStation is removing 551 purchased movie titles from UK libraries with no refunds, reigniting the debate over whether you ever really own digital content. DC is going all in on animation with an Absolute Batman series, a Joker anime called Laugh Riot, a Krypto show from the SpongeBob team, and Tom King's Mister Miracle on the way. Supergirl works as a fun entry in the new DCU, but condensing Tom King's comic stripped out the character depth and swapped one of the best endings in modern comics for a simpler kill. Lobo is a blast on screen with real Beetlejuice energy, but he was not necessary to the plot and deserves his own standalone project, which Jason Momoa says he will only do rated R. Avatar Season 2 succeeds where Supergirl stumbles, condensing the story without cutting anything essential to the characters. Toph and Uncle Iroh stand out, and Ba Sing Se delivers. Final scores: Supergirl gets a 7 from Frank and a 10 from Jonathan, while Avatar Season 2 earns an 8 from Frank and a 9 from Jonathan. Quotes "If you find a way to watch movies, I think you're preserving history. You're not stealing." - Frank "Animation is probably the truest form of adaptation nowadays." - Frank "You're not going to be the hero in every story." - Jonathan "Don't think that the loud voices are the voices, because they're not." - Jonathan "Toph feels like Toph now." - Frank Call to Action Enjoyed the episode?

Episode Summary The Boys is officially over, and Frank and Thomas dig into a series finale that split the internet right down the middle. They break down why Homelander's fall hits harder than the backlash suggests, where Kimiko's powers felt rushed, and how Butcher's heel turn landed for comic readers versus everyone else, before scoring both the finale and the full 2019 to now run. From there, they jump to the big screen for The Mandalorian and Grogu, a movie they both enjoyed while admitting the plot is paper thin and the whole thing feels like stitched-together episodes. The centerpiece is a long-awaited sit down with Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, who returns as Uncle Iroh in Avatar: The Last Airbender season two on Netflix and plays Captain Carson Teva in the Star Wars universe. He opens up about adapting a beloved animated series, why he avoids the deep lore cuts when building a character, the reckoning Iroh faces in the live-action version, and the everyman appeal of Carson Teva. He also reflects on Kim's Convenience, the season six that never happened, and why he thinks tearing down something new before watching it is a waste of energy. Timestamps and Topics 00:00:00 Intro and Weekly Catch-Up 00:03:52 The Boys Series Finale Review 00:25:27 The Mandalorian and Grogu Review 00:47:01 Interview With Paul Sun-Hyung Lee 01:20:55 Rapid Fire Questions 01:24:06 Network Updates and Weekly Recommendations Key Takeaways The Boys finale earned an 8 out of 10 from both hosts, with the full series landing at a 9, praised for ending on a hopeful note that the good guys can actually win if they stick together. Homelander losing his powers reveals who he always was underneath the facade, a takedown the hosts rank among the best villain endings on TV, even if the way he lost them through Kimiko felt like a quick fix. The Mandalorian and Grogu works as crowd-pleasing, kid-friendly Star Wars but lacks a real character arc, scoring around a 6 to 7 with both hosts feeling it plays like several episodes cut together. Paul Sun-Hyung Lee approaches adaptation by serving the scripts rather than chasing deep lore, and the live action Avatar gives Iroh a real reckoning for his role in the siege of Ba Sing Se that the cartoon glossed over. Carson Teva works because audiences connect with the grounded everyman in a universe full of Jedi, a role compared to Nick Fury, Agent Coulson, and even R2-D2. Kim's Convenience remains a point of deep pride for Lee, who still wishes fans had gotten the Appa and Jung reconciliation from the original play, but stands by going out on top. Quotes "When those were stripped away, he no longer could act like the same person." (Thomas, on Homelander) "The good guys can just straight up win." (Frank, on the finale's message) "We're so specifically Korean that it becomes universal." (Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, on Kim's Convenience) "If you don't watch it, you can't talk smack about it." (Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, on hating something unseen) "Go out on top if you're going to go out." (Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, on ending Kim's Convenience) Call to Action If you enjoyed this one, subscribe so you never miss an episode, leave us a review wherever you listen, and share it with a friend who needs convincing on the finale.

The new trailer for Netflix's Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2 just dropped, and Frank breaks down everything in it. Azula steps up as the season's central threat while Ozai looms as the bigger villain on the horizon. The trailer delivers a first look at lightning bending, blue firebending, and a Ba Sing Se that feels as tense and oppressive as fans of the original series remember. Frank also gives a quick preview of a major interview dropping Tuesday with actor Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, covering Avatar Season 2, The Mandalorian, and Kim's Convenience.Timestamps0:00:00 Trailer breakdown begins — Azula, Ozai, and the villain shift0:00:22 Ba Sing Se, the tea shop, and the Freedom Fighters0:00:41 The Blue Spirit returns and Frank's shelf situation0:00:53 Wan Shi Tong and the Spirit Library0:01:09 Toph's seismic sense on screen and the crystal catacombs0:01:29 Paul Sun-Hyung Lee interview preview — Tuesday on Geek FreaksKey TakeawaysAzula is the primary antagonist of Season 2, with Ozai being positioned as the larger threat building toward a later seasonSeason 2 introduces lightning bending and blue firebending — blue fire being the more intense and dangerous of the two, and Iroh appears to be teaching Zuko how to redirect itBa Sing Se is portrayed as a tightly controlled, propaganda-heavy city where the lower class lives in fear under Fire Nation occupation — Iroh and Zuko are living among them, working in the tea shopWan Shi Tong's design leans lean and unsettling, which works well on screen despite the challenge of translating a giant owl to live actionToph's seismic sense visualization is a noted weak point — a limitation of the live-action format that fans may need to acceptThe crystal catacombs, setting of the season's final battle, look visually stunning with their green glowPaul Sun-Hyung Lee's interview drops Tuesday on the Geek Freaks feed — a wide-ranging conversation about fan expectations, adapting beloved IP, The Mandalorian, and Kim's ConvenienceMemorable Quote"I love the propaganda state that Ba Sing Se stays in.

In this heartfelt episode of Wise_N_Nerdy, Joe is joined by the delightful Scott Moore and Rilo W. Ward for another fun-filled and thought-provoking discussion.The episode kicks off with the standard Question of the Week: "What scene hits you hard no matter how many times you've watched it?" The hosts dive into some of the most emotional moments in film and television, discussing scenes such as Mufasa's tragic death in The Lion King, deeply touching moments from Doctor Who, and the tear-jerking sequence in The Tales of Ba Sing Se where Iroh sings Leaves From The Vine. Audience members also call in to share their own unforgettable cinematic moments that always bring the waterworks.With a roll of the dice, the show takes a hilarious turn with a litany of Bad Dad Jokes contributed by both hosts and audience members. The laughter sets the stage for the next segment, "What Are You Nerding Out About?" Scott channels his inner Kurt, expressing his love for Balatro and Slay The Spire, while Rilo eloquently praises Baldur's Gate 3. Joe, on the other hand, adores the unique and engaging story unfolding in The Apothecary Diaries.Next up, the dice lead the hosts into the "How Do I...?" segment, where they discuss how to craft a compelling backstory for an RPG character. This conversation is filled with practical advice on how to create immersive and dynamic characters that enhance the role-playing experience.The fates then bring forth the "Daddy, Tell Me A Story" segment, where the hosts nostalgically reminisce about the nerdy collectibles that got away—those rare treasures they regret not snagging when they had the chance or those that they let slip through their fingers.Finally, the episode wraps up with the "Parliament of Papas" segment, tackling the age-old debate: when does collecting cross the line into hoarding? The hosts explore the fine balance between a passionate collection and an overwhelming accumulation of stuff.No matter what you geek out about, there's a place for you here.
