Avatar: The Last Airbender Live Action REVIEW & DISCUSSION
Your nose is NOT large. Coming from a middle eastern lol
Loved your reaction…I LOVE that you added in the Rocketman video Kit posted…and the “Sure Jan” because that is SO freaking my thoughts too! We wouldn’t be in the band??? What? Being humble Kit? You two…🤦🏼♀️
❤
Does anybody know the Trixie reference that Joe made: "That's a great question. Ask/I'll ask Trixie Mattel"? It's after Kit talks about Soho.
Mi ternura joe ❤🫂lo amo ❤
With all due respect Kit was asked for a "cheeky" overview of season 3 he pretty much guessed what Tia, like other interviewers, wanted. I don't think his mind automatically went to sex.
Kit Connor still has a baby face, so he still looks 16.
I’m looking forward to a more mature season but also hoping it won’t become less accessible to younger audiences. Not because I think anyone would start watching and then turn it off as soon as they hear “fuck” lol, but because if the rating increases to MA (or 15 in the UK) some kids’ parents might not allow them to watch at all.
I loved the podcast and have watched it way too many times by now. Anxiously awaiting the next one. I think it's so funny how Kit jokes about the "really good" sex scenes, because I'm sure we all know Nick and Charlie probably fumbled around at first and had some great laughs figuring things out. As most of us do/did at first. I don't think it's going to be too steamy. It's Heartstopper, not Euphoria. (If we get the cucumber scene I will lmao)
I re-read books a lot, but I re-read Anne of Green Gables every year. As a 10-year old that book was 75% of my entire personality.
I wish your non-Heartstopper content got as much traction as the Heartstopper stuff. Yes, that is how I found you, but your other stuff is fun, too. Thanks for the rec of the Cat Sebastian mid-century novels. I picked them up and read the first one and loved it. Finishing the second one now.
I love this duo 🫶🏻✨💯 they’re my favorite😍💕😊💞 😇😊😊 I am a little scared but also really happy for this season. I can’t wait. It’s only 28 days, can anybody else not believe that or is it just me time moves so fast I remember when it was 70 days Kit is also very naughty sometimes😂 Black but I love that about him. I just love everything about heartstopper everything about the cast. It just feels so right you know?? also yesterday was nick’s birthday and I didn’t realize it until my friend told me but she did so I could make a birthday tribute for him because he is my favorite character. I just relate so much to him. I’m sorry that this is such a long comment, but I just love this, one more thing I wish it could be a longer the podcast I mean the video is so funny you are so funny as a person and you are validated ❤️😊 also I promise this is going to be the last thing when they say they’re not good singers, I beg to differ Joe has been on freaking Broadway and Kit has been on Rocketman and he has to sing to be that young Elton John show. Yeah he has experience. Also you cannot tell me that any of their voices are not perfect because they are let’s be real anyway I’m done rambling.
Loved this podcast and so lovely to see their friendship still going so strong. Kit looked genuinely mortified when Joe seemed to take the nose joke personally. Good marketing to have the BFF challenge on every podcast so the Kit and Joe fans tune in for each one ! lol
Season 3 is sounding increasingly interesting 😄 Is it weird that I'm actually glad about the f-bombs because I'm still cringing from Nick's "I really don't like you!" which he said to Harry on his birthday party in S1? (comic Nick was waaaay more expressive)? Also I love how Kit's mind immediately went to hanky panky when asked about S3 and Joe talked about the mental health stuff when in Alice's playlists that Nick dedicates to Charlie and vice versa Nick's the lovey dovey one whilst Charlie's playlist is just plain horny 😀. Btw what are your favorite musicals? I'm quite a huge MT fan and my favorites are things like Rent, Next To Normal or Hadestown or at the moment contemporary British musicals which are awesome.
I've just started secondary and I was walking to my class and I saw heartstopper poster and don't remember a single thing from that lesson
Fleabag is heartbreaking- please watch it sometime
I seriously hated the podcast I don’t care what other Netflix series would they be in I wanna here about Heartstopper
You'll never fully be free of Cat hair from anything. A Worthy attempt at least lol I still can't believe they snuck in some Season 3 clips but i'm so glad they did cause it makes me SO SO excited for the season to come out. I'm glad we're getting some swear words, i kinda hope it's during Charlie's argument with his mother. And it def feels like the series opens up more as it goes on so at least for people who have waited for each season can grow up with it as it goes on. But it is silly to imagine that newer viewers have to "allegedlly" stop once a season gets too adult for them lol The Karaoke story is so good and it feels like something my friends and I would joke about doing. And I love how often Kit and Joe just rag on each other on camera, poor Grandpa Joe. Don't be sad, i also have never seen Drag Race. I have been tempted every now and then but I don't know if I would enjoy the drama either lol
I want to know the SOHO house story, It sounds salacious.
It really does and it was cruel of them to tease us with it and not give us the full info 😂
23:21-As someone who is taller/broader than average, I can see why Nick didn't get physical with Harry initially. Given Nick's physical fitness (and I can't remember if Harry is on the rugby team or not in the webcomics, but if he isn't), Nick could probably do Harry some damage fairly quickly. Also as the more physical person, if you get involved in fights, you are viewed as the instigator, particularly at school, even if that is not the case because of your size.
I hate how much hate Kit is getting for his banter with Joe. Like they’re friends, they know what the other is comfortable joking around with
It's British humour that many non-British don't get also. Outsiders don't understand that 'being mean' is how Brits so affection with their friends. Joe himself has mentioned in interviews that that's how they knew early on they would be friends because they were mean to each other - he was worried that Kit was going to be too much of a nice guy. Seriously, this is Kit showing affection for Joe.
its fair for people to expect kit not to joke like that in public though considering the amount of looks based cyberbullying joe gets
nah i get it but it was obvious joe was uncomfortable about that one. most of my relationships with my friends have a lot of bullying each other in them, there was this other girl in my dorm like next room, at first we were too nice then started the "affectionate bullying" phase and it went like that for months, i thought we were fine, then i realized i was making her uncomfortable sometimes and asked her about it, and she confirmed it so i stopped about the topics that made her uncomfortable. i think that topic is his appearence for joe, yes he does make fun of kit too but he immediately smiles and says he doesnt mean it which i would expect kit to catch on. and i know they dont use social media anymore so there is not a chance he might see around here and realize so i hope if thats the case with joe they talk and figure it out.
@@aceeeee-io7qb I think it would be fairer for people to assume that Joe is more than capable of setting and maintaining his own boundaries with Kit and what he is happy with. They are clearly great friends and both have said repeatedly that " being mean " is how they express their affection for each other. If Joe doesnt have an issue with it there really is no need for anyone else to.
@@roseanddagger3090 yeah I’m sure that they have open communication with each other about things like that as both of them have said that they relied on each other a lot after all the hate they were getting. I’m sure Kit and Joe have privately spoken to each other and wouldn’t make jokes that would make the other uncomfortable. I think it’s messed up for people to be unfollowing Kit and calling him a bad person because of his banter with Joe who makes the same jokes right back at Kit
I’m surprised you didn’t mention the fact that in the Talk picture, everyone except Charlie is in the group picture. Like, even Imogen and Sahar are there, but not Charlie. Where is Charlie? Did he manage to come? Was he struggling? Did something happen? I just want him to have fun zoo times like the rest please 😭
He is there, between Nick and Elle! He's just a bit hard to see in this picture, but he's there. :)
This is a great commentary, please do the rest of the podcasts!
Not sure the karaoke videos are public.
Just catching up with these episodes now. Completely agree with what you’re saying; Alexander Avila has an excellent video essay on this.
Yeah, they’re saying ‘Soho House’. Soho House is a private members club with several branches around the world, but their main one is in (unsurprisingly) Soho in London. Its main audience are people from the arts and the media. Soho is also the Central London partying, LGBTQ, and red light district hence the joke Kit makes.
Also, they do amazing breakfasts. If you’re having a meeting at Soho House, make it a breakfast meeting (he says from experience).
Also Joe and company did some advertising for Soho House in Brighton a couple of years ago.
Darcy wore a dress with a non-binary flag design in the second season
**Please note that the original podcast video did not include any captions, so I'm doing my best captioning what Joe, Kit, and Tia are saying (definitely not with 100% success :P). Hopefully it's at least a bit helpful for anyone who wanted to enjoy the podcast episode but needed captions to do so! ❤
I re-read The God Eaters by Jesse Hajicek every year when I travel back to the desert on vacation. It can be found on the author's website for free or you can buy the self published paperback.
This game is hilarious and disturbing at the same time. Loved it.❤
