Originally released February 23, 2024.

Ahead of watching its latest live action adaptation, Amanda and Amber attempt to cover the entirety of their shared favorite show, the greatest show of all time: AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER. Is Aang nonbinary? Can the sisters get through a season without sobbing? Is Zuko the hottest animated character ever? Yes. They tackle spirituality, which characters they ship, imperialism, and do an episode-by-episode speedrun… with a big announcement at the end.

Originally released June 2, 2023.

It is Amber's birthday. It is the release date of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. So of course we had to speak on one of Amber's top fandoms: Spider-Man. Amber's obsession with the Spider-Man suit, Tobey v. Andrew v. Tom, Peter Parker as a character, Miles Morales... and Amber finally reads The Letter. (P.S. It is also a day after Tom Holland's birthday.)

About the show: Join real-life sisters Amanda and Amber Miller as they sing, dance, and jazz square their way through the DISNEY VORTEX! In this autobiographical musical revue, Amanda and Amber are Black fangirls grappling with their formative idolization of (predominantly white) Disney Channel stars. Through a combo of musical numbers, drag, and sketch, they must ultimately level up to self-actualize, finally breaking out of the intoxicating realm known as... the Disney Vortex.
