Hello, welcome back to How Samar. I'm Joyna Robinson joining me today after she has bribed me into doing my job.

It's Mallory Rubin. Hey, Mallory. How are you doing? The bad babies cried for a podcast, Joanna.

But AWA did not come. You did, though. And so we're making a podcast today.

Phrasing. All right, it's a holiday gift swap episode wherein Mallory Rubin persuaded me to watch Avatar Fire and Ash,

a.k. do my job.

And I persuaded her to watch Interview with the Vampire Season 2.

You didn't have to persuade me at all.

It was an absolute pleasure.

We engaged in theater the way that we engaged in theater.

So Mallory watched all of interviews in Vampire Season 2.

I watched Avatar Fire and Ash roughly the same in runtime, I would say.

And also, we're going to talk about Steve Rogers.

All of that and more after this.

This episode of House of Ar is presented by Target.

Stranger Things has returned to Target and it's time to visit Hawkins for the final time.

Step back into the 80s with righteous exclusives like a funco pop of Steve in the Squawk van,

the epic Squawk satin bomber jacket, and the Stranger Things You May upside down capsule shaped like a walkie-talkie.

New items are dropping all season long, so prepare for one last adventure at Target.

All right, I'm very excited to dig in to interview the Empire Season 2,

and I am grudgingly here to talk to you about Avatar Empire and Ash a film that I did pay for,

and I did see.

Before we get into that, though, let's talk about some program reminders.
