It's not every day that a podcast hits a milestone like the 7th anniversary of a host and co-host/producer staying together and podcasting almost every week during the year, but Scene N Nerd has done just that. Hosted by our ever-engaging Sarah Belmont and the insightful Mr. Producer, Will Polk, this episode is a celebration of the past, an exploration of the present, and a nod to the future of storytelling.
This week, the dynamic duo dives into the latest Netflix offering – the live-action adaptation of 'Avatar: The Last Airbender.' While Sarah opts to go into the series blind, hoping to preserve the magic of first impressions, Will shares his thoughts on the trailer, offering a glimpse into the world of bending elements and the rich lore that surrounds it. The conversation takes a turn into the realm of inclusivity and representation, with a focus on indigenous cultures and their portrayal in modern media.
As they reflect on the past seven years, it's evident that the landscape of television and film has evolved, with superhero genres dominating the scene. But is it time to take a break from the capes and superpowers? Will seems to think so, expressing a need for a breather from the Marvel and DC universes. Sarah, on the other hand, manages expectations, finding Echo's series to be underwhelming yet meeting the bar she had set for it.
The episode isn't just about critique; it's a heartfelt journey through the eyes of seasoned podcasters who have seen the industry's highs and lows. They discuss the potential of shows like Echo to break new ground and the missed opportunities that could have made it a standout series.
As Scene N Nerd continues to navigate the ever-changing tides of the entertainment world, this anniversary episode stands as a testament to their passion for the art of storytelling. Whether you're a die-hard fan of the superhero genre or someone looking for a fresh perspective on the latest releases, this episode is a must-listen.
