This week, Dave, Neil, and Joanna are debating the worst live-action adaptation of a cartoon! But first, Joanna starts by revealing her thoughts on Netflix’s new show, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and how it adapts the original animated series (6:40). Then, they discuss some pretrial awards and dismissals (35:29), reveal each of their top three picks for the worst live-action adaptation of a cartoon, and listen to some of your picks to figure out which four should make it to the final poll (40:57).
Now it’s up to you to decide! What is the worst live-action adaptation of a cartoon? You can vote for the winner at TheRinger.com, on The Ringer’s X feed, and in the Spotify app, where you’ll find ‘Trial by Content.’ The winner will be announced on the next episode!
