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

This is a big one folks, so remember your training because we are going to sync some levels with you. What happens when you mix the Bible with anime? No, not the manga version of the Bible, though we are not too far off.
Loremaster Mischka has descended from his high place of existence to deliver unto us that forbidden fruit of knowledge. Be warned, for the price of knowledge (lore about giant robots) is great and terrible (you must listen to your mom jokes).

Listen you're gonna want to get in on the ground floor on this one. It's a sure shot, we bought a bunch of little plastic men and then we glued them together and painted them. We bought a lot of them. Then we do a podcast about the lore of the little world these little men live in, get all invested and such. Easy right? Now you buy these little men from us and as a bonus you can sell the little men to other people after they listen to the podcast. I'm telling you it prints money and you are gonna wanna be at the top of this marketing triangle.
Special guest Justin tells you everything you need to know to get started.

Rock & Rule

Wednesday Jan 03, 2024
We found this weird DVD stashed in the back of our dad's old El Camino, and unlike everything else we find back there this is something we can show you. Join us now as we travel to a world that only a bunch of 80's Canadians could dream up as we guide you through the weird and totally cohesive world of the cult rock musical Rock & Rule.
Does it have an actual script? No, but neither do we so we give it a lot of credit.

The Chronicles of Riddick

Wednesday Dec 20, 2023
If we all could afford to make a movie about our favorite OC then the world would be a better place. In the real world only Vin Diesel gets to take a stab at it. We are covering the Riddickulous series that spans one of the worst movies to one of the best video games.
Goggle up and get ready to outrun the sun cause we have a need for heehees.

Long live the King, a literal titan of media that has been stomping around for a lifetime is bound to have some missteps. The problem is when you are as big as a building, a misstep destroys an office building. Generally, if your monster movie is boring then something has gone wrong. We smash our way through the long line of successors to the most iconic Kaiju there ever was — the Good, the Bad, and the 1998 American one.

Wednesday Nov 22, 2023
We are just trying to Kombat our own Mortality, but now we had to dig in to this mess of a series. Usually reboots are supposed to make the lore simple, but they forgot to get rid of the old stuff and now we need to go 3 full rounds of punishing story. The Moral of this Kontent is never dive too deep into fighting game lore.

DOOM (Part 2)

Wednesday Nov 08, 2023
It's time to finish the fight...I mean rip and tear until it is done. There's a lot of unanswered questions, and we were OK with that, but they decided to answer those questions anyway. Our final dive into the lore of the latest DOOM installments is a road to madness, but fortunately special guest Colin stays long enough to be our shining knight against the horde of silly fantasy names.

SAW (Halloween Special)

Tuesday Oct 31, 2023
Hello listener, you've never appreciated having a silent 2 hours during a spooky Halloween night. In this Halloween Special episode you will find guest hosts Sammi and Erik who have devised a way to convey the Saw lore into one handy episode. You must decide if this lore makes sense or if it is goofy silly time.
Choose wisely, for if you answer incorrectly we will release all the spiders that we hid in your headphones and there will be icky spiders in your ear (which is both ironic and appropriate for the season and you can't convince us otherwise).

DOOM (Part 1)

Wednesday Oct 25, 2023
One of the most iconic video game series to have ever existed began with just some random guy in a green suit killing waves of enemies with laser guns. And before Halo there was DOOM.
In this one, the gang recruits the help of Colin, Loremaster of angels and demons, to cover the full DOOM story from early days with the Doomguy to being played in a movie by...*checks notes* Judge Dredd from the 2012 remake movie Dredd? Enjoy all the delicious set up to the newest entries and stay on the edge of your seat for 2 more weeks for that sweet payoff.
