The Lore You Know

Ep 10: Bioshock 1 & 2

Would you kindly tune in as we discuss the (many) shortcomings of a truly free market. There's nothing airtight about the logic of this subaquatic capitalist wet dream, but we are willing to drill below the surface to find a moral lesson about unfettered economic growth. If you would liberate some time to come give us an invisible hand you just might learn something about the real world too, but it'll cost you. There are no free podcasts.

Ep 9: Gurren Lagann

What is a man but the sum of his giant nesting mechas? This one got away from us a little, you could say it spiraled out of control, but we dug down and steeled our fighting spirit to bring you the deep lore of one of our favorite animes, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. From hand drills to galaxy shuriken, we teach you what it takes to become a man and to Row, Row, Fight the Power!

Ep 8: Final Fantasy VII

Sephiroth, what do you want? No seriously what is going on here? With our head in the Clouds and our feet on Aerith we present to you the tale as old as steampunk cars. Does capitalism defeat the high minded, rebellious youth and succeed in destroying the planet for profit? Historically yes, but this is finally fantasy. So a meteor does it instead, Holy smokes.

Ep 7: Magic Tree House

While walking in the woods one day, Jack and Annie saw something strange: A little magic treehouse that teleports away. They met inside a treehouse friend, not knowing where this adventure would end, the animals were headed just around the bend. Where are they going? I don't know. How do we get there? C'mon let's go! Ceej, and Fran, and then Ethan too, come along and see what's new. We're doing the things that animals do. 
Also children don't belong in a war.

Ep 6: Castlevania

We are Bram Stoked about this episode where Ethan teaches us that the Catholics were right all along and Satan vampires have lived among us for centuries. Alchemy, dark rituals, rock music, and vampiric brooding. We basically have everything cool your parents wouldn't let you do in middle school and we won't judge you for wearing a cloak. We have Alucard on for this blood thirsty boi and after using our hypnosis powers we think you will too, so come along and listen to us talk about a stupidly named castle inhabited by stupidly named people.

Ep 5: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

Is this a great Zelda game or the greatest Zelda game? The great debate initiates as CJ teaches the other two about how patience is a virtue and why more game is always better. Want to know why all those nerds at conventions love to buy foam Master Swords and wear Link hats? Douse for some answers here or else we will mail you all our rupoors. We will not repeat ourselves.

Ep 4: Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated

Jinkies! Ancient aliens, Babylonian mythology, AND evil German robots? Zoinks Scoob, I'm just like a teenage kid or whatever. But don't worry gang, we've recruited an expert on the field to solve the mystery of the most beloved of the Scooby-Doo remakes. Jeepers! I hope it doesn't get too weird. Scooby Dooby Doooooooooooooooooooooo!
Big thanks to Liz for her vast knowledge of Hanna-Barbera lore! Check out her stuff: lizardxlizard.carrd.co

Ep 3: My Little Pony

Fran takes the reigns as the boys are chomping at the bit to learn all there is to know about those cute little ponies and their Elements of Harmony. Fran's candid canter provokes CJ and Ethan to ponder Cantor toponology as they attempt to parse how something can be a smaller part of itself. If you're confused, you can bet these two simple dirt bronies are as well.

Ep 2: Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure

This episode is indeed a mother hecking JoJo reference. Ethan tells us how posing, exposing, and breathing right will help you kill vampires. Stop letting all those memes go over your head, let yourself become a weeb. If we haven't convinced you that you need a Dio body pillow then we aren't doing our jobs right and you get your money back on the episode, guaranteed.

Ep 1: Yu-Gi-Oh!

Why do children's card games send you to hell if you lose? Because of ancient Egyptian gods of course. Just remember that cheating by using plot armor is OK if your opponent is cheating with regular cheating. In our first episode we run down the beloved anime Yu-Gi-Oh! and its later arcs that fewer people remember.
