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

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.

Sit a while and listen to the story as old as time itself. A story of good and evil, of exceedingly bad ideas, and a good chunk of it is just angels and demons wanting to smash. Get caught up on Diablo lore before Blizzard comes knocking for it's tithe so you can be emotionally invested while your wallet gets drained.
