Episodes

Ep 30: Diablo 24.05.2023

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.   Want some in depth games analysis? Check out Ethan's new channel: https://www....

Ep 29: Street Fighter II Turbo Edition 10.05.2023

You cannot have a fight with only one fighter, and so too must you learn of another warrior to complete your Street Fighter knowledge. This time we are talking about M'Bison and while he might not be a "nice guy" he always has a smile on his face. It's time to learn the meaning of the phrase: Nothing beats psychic powers.

Ep 28: Street Fighter 26.04.2023

Ready? Fight! Ethan has been training all month preparing to deliver the killing blow to lore of everyone's favorite fighting game that comes in normal and turbo flavors. Premeditated murder? That's for the lawyers to decide. We are just here to start you on the way of murderous intent. Or the opposite of that, which also involves murder, but more a more mindful version.

Ep 27: Digimon Adventure 02 12.04.2023

Our greatest digifears have come to digifruition and we have been digidestined to revisit the most digital series there is. We have a lot of info to cram into this one, so sit back with a nice digibeverage and enjoy this cinematic length descent into madness (all in a shorter runtime than a James Cameron movie).

Ep 26: Super Mario Bros (The 1993 Movie) 29.03.2023

Nintendo can try to pretend like the latest Mario movie is the first one to come out, but we know better here. Lets-a-go then, you and I, to a place where mushrooms grow rampant and two simple Italian plumbers who are from Brooklyn defeat a king and who is also a wizard sometimes.

Ep 25: John Wick 15.03.2023

I was going to come up with a witty description for John Wick, but then some kid on Fortnite playing as him killed me and started orange justicing and now I don't want to think about it.   Get all caught up before John Wick: Chapter 4 changes all the rules of the world again rendering this lore obsolete.

Ep 24: Digimon 01.03.2023

80 percent of this episode is just us reusing interchangeable sequence from previous videos, but it keeps the cost down and personally they are our favorite parts. Join the crew in a new Digiventure talking about Digimon and their Diginspirations that were more than a little bit of a Digistraight ripoff of other (more successful) things. Yet another entry to the series of "Why most 90s kids are a...

Ep 23: Warrior Cats 15.02.2023

Betrayal, forbidden love, the hidden ties that bind, and spirits from the great beyond with universal wisdom. We untangle this literary ball of yarn while coming to grips that it's all happening to cats. The gang's all here to finally answer the age old question: What did the cat drag in? It was tribalism. Guest expert LizardXLizard makes a farewell appearance, show her some love: https://lizardxl...

Ep 22: Puss In Boots 01.02.2023

Kitty paws and booted claws, a wayward fencing outlaw. This episode filled with a load of Spanish speaking flaw. We have a game for our guest LizardxLizard to play. The moral of this story is eating the rich is OK.   Check out more of our benevolent guest host at her socials: https://lizardxlizard.carrd.co/

Ep 21: Fire Emblem 18.01.2023

Come engage in some high fantasy with us while we describe several blue and red haired anime boys who save the world from dragons. Whether you are looking for love or just looking to make the most powerful team for killing without remorse, we have all the info you need right here. Special guest LizardxLizard returns to give her top husbando/waifu picks.   See more LizardxLizard here: https://lizar...

Ep 20: Kirby 04.01.2023

Kirby not afraid, we are talking about everyone's favorite little puffball. So poyoself up a chair and get ready for a chill easy time that will suck all your problems away. At least until the end when you will have to confront the reality of all things that are and are not. But if you make if through you get some cake and a nap so pretty worth it.

Ep 19: The Santa Clause (A Very Merry Christmas Special) 21.12.2022

A chill wind blows, a faint sound of jingle bells. You hear him whispering upon the wind, hohoho. Is he a benevolent spirit of old come to reward the children of the world, or a magnanimous force bound to the laws of ancient ones. Who can say, but today the gang is talking about the tool man. I hope everyone is in a festive spirit, we want to all be on our best behavior if the big man arrives. Tha...

Ep 18: Sonic The Hedgehog (Archie Comics) 07.12.2022

The Blue Blur, The Fastest Thing Alive, King Arthur. He goes by many names but we have unburrowed ourselves from the underground to reveal all the secret rings from the original Sonic Archie Comics. Does it make sense? No not really. But when you are faster than the speed of thought, your plot is going to have some holes in it, and you can't have rings without holes (or something like that don't p...

Ep 17: God of War 23.11.2022

War. War never changes. But God of War does, a lot. So to catch you up for Ragnarok we have thrown together a little treasure trove of titanic tidbits to fill you in on what you might have missed in the era since Kratos was a young slayer with a heart of coal and plenty of quicktime events under his belt. Not family friendly unless you think Greek gods represented good family values in which case...

Ep 16: Bayonetta 09.11.2022

Style, substance, sexiness. No we aren't talking about our podcast (well we are those things too), but instead talking about the Queen of Rope Mommies, Bayonetta. Strap on your high heels and squeeze in to your zentais because this one is a rough ride. Whether you are looking for an angle or deman, there's nothing on heaven or earth that can stop us from tickling your fancy...for witch lore.

Ep 15: Dead Space 26.10.2022

Zombies...In...Spaaaaaace. That's the game. Sure there's ancient madness-causing space obelisks and space lasers and neat space metals, but why complicate things. In space, no one care hear you heehee.

Ep 14: Resident Evil (Part 3) 19.10.2022

Horror comes in groups of three just like in comedy, lists, and other things. To close the book on all known Resident Evil lore the gang puts on a brave face and takes some penicillin to delve into the scariest and grossest games of the series. There is fungus amungus and there's no turning back now so tune in for as long as you can before fear grips your heart and you call for mummy. Ethan was de...

Ep 13: Resident Evil (Part 2) 12.10.2022

The zombies were having fun, the party had just begun, the guests included CJ, Fran, and Ethan. The scene was rockin', all were digging the sounds, with Chris and Wesker romantic tension abounds. Leon was spying some cutie-pie honies, while British men ground up and ate all the mummies. And while Claire and Ashley were left in the dust, Ada and Jill toward the dance floor did thrust. It was a mash...

Ep 12: Resident Evil 05.10.2022

The spooky season has descended like a vampire bat upon an unsuspecting goat and we have been infected with a horrible affliction that has morphed our minds, body, and even our branding! For the Halloween season we are The Lore of Horror and we are shuffling out our latest episode on the Resident Evil series. We do our best to Frankenstein the bits of this lore together into something that's alive...

Ep 11: Cyberpunk 28.09.2022

Punk isn't dead, but now it's all sci-fi and full of roving gangs of clown people and unfettered corporate control. This time channel favorite LizardxLizard comes back to learn about the cool and totally no downside world of Cyberpunk. Whether you just want some more backstory to the cool new anime or are getting ready to jack in and play a real TTRPG for real Netrunning gamers, we've got you cove...

Ep 10: Bioshock 1 & 2 14.09.2022

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 i...

Ep 9: Gurren Lagann 31.08.2022

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 17.08.2022

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 03.08.2022

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 th...

Ep 6: Castlevania 20.07.2022

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 usi...
