The Lore Axe is a show where we break down some of the world's most popular fictional worlds -- from sci-fi and fantasy to video games and literature -- and explore them in depth from a philosophical, historical, and sociological lens.
Presented and created by Khalil Thirloway and Alex Hamilton, two friends who needed an outlet to talk about things way too deeply without irritating their friends at gatherings.

Avatar: The Last Airbender first aired in 2005, and has set itself in stone as one of the most beloved animated shows ever created. This week, we ask how can a show for kids be this damn good?
We also delve into the creative process of Avatar, the merits of a show celebrating Asian cultures being made by two white dudes, and the use of cultural consultants. Is Avatar a love letter to the Asian-American experience? Does it have one of the best portrayels of personal growth? Can Kinko and Alex refrain from talking about martial arts too much?
Find answers to all these questions!
