Heyyy, welcome to the GNAPcast--your source of geekly entertainment!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE GNAPCAST!! We started this crazy thing a year ago today, and it's been a wild ride with tons of goofy jokes, random trivia, and great memories! Thank you guys for coming along with us. We couldn't have done it without you.
Okay, enough sappy stuff. On with the show!
It's time to let our dark sides out here on the GNAPcast--no, we're not becoming Sith Lords (although we hear they have a fantastic dental plan). We're going to share some of our favourite animated villains, from movies, animated TV shows, and more! (And maybe probably have mostly the same list of villains, for some reason?)
Join Seth and David as they discuss what makes a villain good (as an antagonistic character, not morally), Seth's true motivation for discussing villainy on the show (we still aren't sure if he's actually a villain or not...), and whether or not David actually understands what "scary" means!
Seth's Fun Fact:
The fact that (spoilers) David put Azula, of all people, on his "goofy villain" list got us so off-topic that we spent nearly twenty minutes debating this point before he finally explained his reasoning. Even though she's voiced by Grey Griffin, who's usually known for playing far more lighthearted characters, Azula still remains one of the most terrifying sub-villains I've ever seen in a show...especially when she loses control.

Heyyy, welcome to the GNAPcast--your source of geekly entertainment!
It's that time again--we're doing another episode about music! After a Weekly GEM involving waaaaaay too long on the wikis, join Seth and David this week as they chat about some of their favourite film scores and composers (who aren't named John Williams).
From Hans Zimmer to Mark Mothersbaugh, Interstellar to The Amazing Spider-Man, come along with us for a journey through some incredible music. In addition, we'll find out that Seth has a thing for matching, while David still can't remember anyone's name.
Seth's Fun Fact:
Just for kicks, here's the full version of the vine featuring "Also Sprach Zarathustra" that we sing to close out the episode. And yes, David is correct--this is a Strauss composition.

Heyyy, welcome to the GNAPcast--your source of geekly entertainment!
Taking cues from our last episode, it's another trivia game! With returning guest Andrew, come along as Seth and David (maybe?) dive deep into the lore of Avatar: The Last Airbender with some improvised quizzes and fact-finding challenges of dubious quality. Beware spoilers again for this excellent show, as well as confusingly-worded questions, nonsensical statements, and Seth barely keeping himself awake!
This episode features returning guest Andrew, a geologist from Massachusetts who's now seen The Last Airbender at least four times all the way through. Can you say "dedication?"
David's Fun Fact: Our original plan for this episode was to talk about anime, another subject Andrew is well-versed in. Once we got into the studio, though, we decided that since we'd talked about Avatar with Andrew back in Season 1 (and before I'd seen it all), it would be fun to discuss it again with some trivia thrown in for good measure.

Heyyy, welcome to the GNAPcast--your source of geekly entertainment!
It's time for a new game, one that may or may not be a little bit complicated! Join David and Seth this week as they test each others' knowledge of movie and book quotes from some of their favourite geeky, nerdy topics. Along the way, we'll also discover that Seth has an absurd memory for names, while David might possibly spend just a little bit too much time on the internet.
From Star Wars to Sherlock, come along with us as we fight to the death for supremacy! ...in a trivia game. So, you know. Non-lethally. Unless someone has figured out how to win a war using only trivia quotes, in which case it would be lethal. Hmm... maybe we should market that.
Whatever the case may be, enjoy this game of improbable trivia!

Heyyy, welcome to the GNAPcast! In our follow-up conversation with Andrew, we chat about one of the best-loved animated series of all time--Avatar: The Last Airbender! Join us as we discuss our favorite episodes, dissect various characters' story arcs as they unfold throughout the show, and reveal tons of spoilers for a show that is coming up on thirteen years old! ...And maybe also mention that film that came out that one time. Yeah.
This episode features Andrew again, our resident A:TLA expert and a fan of 2% milk.
