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

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.

Highlander

Wednesday Sep 27, 2023
There can be only 5 movies, two animated series, a live action TV series, several graphic novels, and an upcoming reboot. Learn the essentials of the saga everyone knows a little bit about but no one knows all of, as that knowledge is The Prize. There's only so much we can do in 2 hours but we can Quicken your knowledge of everyone's favorite Scotsman(?) and Spaniard(?).
Sean Connery resurrects in the second movie. We don't even cover that, it was so inconsequential it never came up but it's kinda crazy it just happened for no reason.

Did you know that the Varia suit is probably just a mistranslation of the English word Barrier, so Samus' suit was supposed to be called the Barrier Suit? Anyway that's one of the fun bits of trivia we could have done if we had more time but we didn't because we had to talk about how dumb Other M is.

Wednesday Aug 30, 2023
Today it's about the genre book that spawned 1000 games all with the same niche. If it seems like a crazy fever dream, that's because originally it was one. Brace yourselves for the drop cause this one gets a little darker than Fortnite may make it seem.

Ep 36: Pikmin

Wednesday Aug 16, 2023
Not every episode has to be about big flashy heroes and villains. Sometimes you just need a silly little guy. Like, most of the time all the listeners want is just a fun, silly, tiny creature that runs around and does things. Wouldn't it be nice if those silly little guys were running around for real? I'd like that.

The explosive and quite honestly confusing conclusion to the manga that launched a million references. The end is like a choose your own adventure except instead of adventure it's existential dread.

At the very heart of anime lies one root, the genesis of myriad inspirations and references, the origin of a new tone of story telling. We pick apart this pillar of media and analyze its deep messaging, it's dark tones, and we make a bunch of jokes about drugs and bombs and stuff.

In this meta episode we talk about the lore of a show that talks over other shows. Remember if something doesn't make sense, it's just a show. You should really just relax.

Today we are talking about a lazy slacker who can't seem to get his life together. We are also talking about the critically acclaimed graphic novel Scott Pilgrim. Maybe it's just our millennial talking but we think this one rocks.
