The Lore You Know
Here at The Lore You Know we drill down deep into the fantastical and often convoluted lore of your favorite TV shows, video games, anime, and movies to bring you the facts about completely made up things. Hosts CJ, Ethan, and Fran are occasionally joined by some helpful ”experts” to recant your beloved imaginary worlds all while revealing the truths the average viewer may never see. Are they always right? Most certainly not. Are they comprehensive? Why would you want them to be? Can we make you the next star of your board game night with regaling tales that are pretty correct? Definitely. All of our stuff: https://cookingwithspices.carrd.co/ Musical Intro/Outro by Apogio: https://composerapogio.com Graphics by galestormKitsun: https://twitter.com/galestormKitsun

Break out the grease and Nos because it's time for the gang to go faster and with more fury than they have ever gone before. What is family? Who is family? Why is family? These questions and more will not be answered by us, but we will explain why Vin Diesel is so powerful but only while behind the wheel of a car.
In the passenger seat this time around is Ethan with Lizzy at the wheel (https://lizardxlizard.carrd.co/).

The Christmas Shoes

Wednesday Jan 08, 2025
Erik came in wide-eyed and crazed about a movie that was made from a book that was made about the lyrics of a song. Naturally, we had to explore this holiday themed world where the season is less than festive and the lessons learned are...up to interpretation. At the very least we keep the Christ in Christmas Shoes.
On this episode are cohosts Erik and Lizzy (https://lizardxlizard.carrd.co/)

The Wizard of Oz

CJ is sick, Fran is sick, let's play games. Defying gravity? More like defying canon am I right? This week the gang dives into the deep lore The Wizard of Oz, but the original stuff so you won't even be able to impress your friends with cool Wicked lore. Unless your friends would be more impressed with lore from a hundred year old book in which case your friends will probably like the podcast too.

The finale is finally here, the final say on the finish of feltish tale. All the strings are finally coming together, the weave completed (except that the Netflix series was cancelled). Complete your knowledge of the Dark Crystal as we bid our special guest goodbye, for now.
Thanks again for Sammi and Erik's research and of course Lizzy for cohosting (https://lizardxlizard.carrd.co/).

A new age dawns, and by that we mean we have another episode of dark fantasy puppets for you. The stakes are being raised, these little guys are facing horrors beyond their fuzzy minds. Perhaps if they can navigate this Labyrinth of alliances and enemies they can come out on top, or at least stay above ground.
Who knows how it's going to turn out (we do). Friends Sammi and Erik return for the journey along with the always lovely Lizzy (https://lizardxlizard.carrd.co/).

Halloween and is here and we are bringing the fall vibes with this classic dark fantasy starring puppets and only puppets. Learn everything there is to know about the world of the Dark Crystal. Who put the big bird men in charge? Why do they keep talking about needing to "defend" from "attackers?" Does an ancient spiritual mother-being make babies the old fashioned way? We will find out all of this and more on our new multi part series that begins this All Hallows Eve Eve.
Thanks again to good friends and special guests Sammi and Erik who are bringing our lore to us on this journey and to good wife and co-host Liz (https://lizardxlizard.carrd.co/).

Silent Hill

*Content Warning* Themes of self harm and sexual abuse.
We bring you tales from the Quiet Mounds. Are we being haunted by ghosts, or is it all just politics? Either way the natives tried to warn us and we didn't listen so now we bring you the very timely horror classic. Press left and right to rotate as we take on another staple of the horror game series to discover, what is Silent Hill (it's a town in Maine).

Alien

*Content Warning* Themes of sexual assault and abuse.
We're back just in time for the spooky season and we have a big one. Ever wonder what that little dancing chest-burster in Space Balls is a reference to? Isn't it curious how everyone says "Game Over Man, Game Over?" Why is the bad guy in Metroid named that? All of these easily answered questions are explored like an abandoned alien ship filled with dead guys and scary eggs. Watch and be amazed as CJ descends into madness like a movie franchise descends into being not so good anymore.

Twilight (Part 2)

Wednesday Feb 28, 2024
The girls are back in town and that town is Forks and how can they still possibly be talking about sparkling vampires? Well it has something to do with hunky werewolves and unholy cabals. It's hard to tell for sure, I got really distracted at the parts where they were talking about falling in love with babies.
I'm sure it all makes sense in the end though.
Of course check out our guest host LizardxLizard and her amazing artwork and comics: https://lizardxlizard.carrd.co/

Wednesday Feb 14, 2024
It's Galentine's day, and what better way to celebrate than to bring in the ladies to talk about everyone's favorite brooding vampire couple. No, not Angel and Buffy the other one.
The coven of Lizzy, Sammi, Sayali, and Fran chronicle what happens when a Mormon invents vampire lore that inadvertently changes the landscape of literature for all time. Hang in there as the girls TwiHard not to cringe constantly(Lizzy wrote that).
