The Lore You Know

Highlander

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.

Metroid

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.

Battle Royale

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

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.

Ep 35: Akira (Part 2)

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.

Ep 34: Akira (Part 1)

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.

Ep 33: Mystery Science Theater 3000

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.

Ep 32: Scott Pilgrim vs The World

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.

More Lore #1: Into the Zeldaverse

First mini episode, we talk about the plot of Spiderverse, Tears of the Kingdom, and Diablo 4. Just a couple boys being boys.

Ep 31: Bioshock Infinite

We talk about real American history in this one, so needless to say it gets a bit rough. In finite terms, we were Bioshocked to find out about the development of this game, but hopefully you can enjoy us getting mad at it.
