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 bel

It's got swords, sorcery, spaceships, furries, and mummies. What more could you possibly need? Apparently, for less girls to watch it. Let us journey through Third Earth and give you Sight Beyond Sight into the world of the The ThunderCats. We cover the old stuff and the new, tragically cut short but not before showing us some cool cats.

Let's get ready to WRASTLE. Everyone says that wrestling is fake, but the drama is real. But maybe the drama is fake, and the wrestling is real? Or maybe it's all real? We might be deep in the kayfabe, but we are taking you down with us, brothers. So oil up your biceps and dump a bucket of tacks on the ground because this week we are talking about the matchup of the millennia, the WWE vs the WCW better known as the Monday Night War.

You can't have a lore show that doesn't get sucked into a FromSoft game. This destiny is written by the Old Gods in the very stars. So you've chipped away at us like a little guy with a sword and this week we are exploring The Lands Between. Will we gaze upon ultimate truth, or find only madness? Probably the latter.

They are the silent protectors. They are one with the night. They are big and buff and kind owo. They have been laying in wait, as unmoving stone, for a thousand years (since 1994). They have been storing power, waiting to be unleashed into the world once more, and we will unleash them. Join as as we talk about Gargoyles with our head in the clouds and our minds in the gutter. We will do our best, but can you name the unnamed, understand the fantastic, or soar upon the winds? (Yes, yes, and kinda)

We all know the big strong guy from the side of all the taco trucks, but did you know he comes from an anime with lots of other guys? We were surprised too, but you Kaoi-Can power up your pop culture knowledge by listening to us sorting through the story of some of our favorite buff guys. We're so focused, we don't even make a draggin deez balls joke.

Oh boy this is a big one, but keep in mind if it doesn't make sense that's not because we are explaining it wrong, but because it is silly and complicated. Need to get caught up before the next phase of the MCU begins? Well this is like, a good first start probably. Colin was gracious enough to stop playing Marvel Rivals long enough to come back and gift his knowledge, like Prometheus (another Marvel character).
E79 · 15 Jul 2026 · 1 hr 57 min
Pets. They are nice and all but what is the new thing, the next leap of a generation? Dressing them in outfits? Zapping them with rays? Giving them their owns pets? Giving those pets pets? We explore the possibilities of these "New Pets" as we dive into Neopia and the lore of Neopets. One wouldn't think the Scientologists would show up, though Viacom was to be expected.
E78 · 1 Jul 2026 · 1 hr 43 min
What if soccer but with magic? How can we jazz up baseball? Can you run through the pool to win at swimming? Is blood sport a sport? What about chess? These are all questions one could imagine, and so we decided to do an episode about the many different sports of fantasy worlds. We know there is no rule that a dog can't play basketball, but how does a dog dribble?
E77 · 17 Jun 2026 · 1 hr 53 min
Remember the Gingerbread Man story? What if there was a game like it? What if there were more cookies? What if they created society? What if they had racism and classism? In this episode, the wonderful Galestormkitsune of end credits fame graces us with their knowledge of this tasty little tale of cookie magic. There's a lot of lore baked into this one, but I guess that's just the way the cookie crumbles. Follow Gale: https://bsky.app/profile/galestormkitsune.bsky.social

Hold it! We submit that you do not yet know enough about the vibrant and colorful world of Ace Attorney. Objection! You can learn all about the wacky antics of this completely fictional system of law where rules are made up on the fly and precedence means nothing. Take that! Listen to our silly ramblings as we decide if this system of brutal efficiency would be a good fit for a society that needs to get this legal stuff wrapped up quick.
E75 · 20 May 2026 · 2 hr 41 min
We're assembling the team to take on a looming threat, and by that I mean we've got two buds together to explain the lore of a viewer-requested topic: Overwatch. Blizzard may have abandoned this story, but we will break it down and let you decide where the story would go. After all, everyone is an Overwatch (I think that's the tagline probably).
E74 · 6 May 2026 · 2 hr 5 min
He-Man (He/Him) is a man that fights Skeletor (He/Him). They are men and them are not friend. They fight over orbs and swords, castles and vassals. They do whatever we want them to do, cause they are whatever we want them to be. He is man. He is Skeleman. We talk about it. Us is podcast.
E73 · 22 Apr 2026 · 1 hr 53 min
Hiya there. This week the gang is taking to the stars (again) but this time with more animal characters. Check your G Diffusers and get ready to explore the universe. And also a dinosaur planet for some reason. Not an anthropomorphic dinosaur planet, just a regular one. But they talk. And there's a blue fox there, but you probably already knew that. This is a game about shooting space lasers on rails.
E72 · 8 Apr 2026 · 2 hr 17 min
Bands: What even are they? Groups that play music. And what is music? Nobody knows, but sometimes these bards have lore and that's where we come in. Join us a we take a journey through genres and face coverings to discover the stories behind the music, and take a lot of detours along the way. This one is a real "Lore de force."
E71 · 25 Mar 2026 · 1 hr 30 min
It's the distant future. The South has risen again, in space. The Space Bugs and the Space Nerds are fighting, but they don't know they are actually space cousins. There is one woman who is kinda both of them and also a human. Is this empowerment? That's for us to debate and you to decide on this Lore You Craft episode...I meant The Lore You Know.
E70 · 11 Mar 2026 · 2 hr 20 min
Memory hacking, AI satellites, body swapping. If only there were pieces of media to help us predict the potential pitfalls of such technologies, especially as corrupt leaders and hackers attempt to use it against the population. Anyway, we are talking about Ghost in the Shell. Add this to the Torment Nexus Criterion Collection and listen as special guest Zach updates our memories with a cache of anime lore.
E69 · 25 Feb 2026 · 1 hr 59 min
This time we Tri, Tri again (wait I think we used that one already). Imagine a world that has been ravaged by mankind's wasteful disregard for scarcity and preservation. Now imagine we hitched it out of that world and went to Space Wild West. Grab a fist full of double dollars and wrangle up your riding chickens cause this week we are talking about Trigun and all the many Tri-s it tries to teach us.
E68 · 11 Feb 2026 · 1 hr 51 min
It's lady's night again as the gals of The Lore You Know give the sitch on a true feminine icon, Kim Possible. Get your allyship points in by supporting women talking about women and women supporting their incompetent, more stoppable, male sidekicks. Wherever She go, We go, and He go and Me go too.
E67 · 28 Jan 2026 · 1 hr 53 min
Do bugs have will? Do any of us, or are we just playthings of Gods? Who knows, but in this episode we talk about a little bug child and their deity father and all sorts of lil critters. If you feel the Radiance, don't fight it, just let it pull you like a moth to the flame.
E66 · 14 Jan 2026 · 2 hr 31 min
Remember the days when they made TV shows really complicated, and also you could only reliably see them in order if you watched them at certain times, on certain days, and on a certain channel. Seems impossible right? Well...it's more likely than you think. Listen in to see what all the excitement was about circa 2004, and relive a time that was before *gestures broadly* all this.
E65 · 31 Dec 2025 · 1 hr 34 min
It's that time of year again, one week after Christmas. So of course we have the perfect thing to get you back out of the Jingle Bell spirit by talking about reckless driving, real estate mergers, and of course, capitalism. Our New Year's Resolution is to always respect contract law and to become billionaires the honest, savory way. Happy Holidays everyone!
E64 · 17 Dec 2025 · 1 hr 47 min
Break out your mini paints and clear every table you own, it's time to talk BattleTech. This isn't our first jump into a TTRPG, but this time we trade out a grim dark setting for a much more grounded, and therefore scarier, one. If there's one thing we know it's that giant robots are cool, so surely the gameplay must be interesting as well...right? You don't need to know how the big space ships work (solar power), just who they work for (company).
E63 · 3 Dec 2025 · 1 hr 58 min
The Power Rangers: Grim dark, angsty teens or colorful, campy crew? What if I told you, it's both. But also it's better when it's the second one. In this episode we explore not just a single show or movie, but a whole genre hailing from Japan called tokusatsu. From Super Sentai to the all American Rangers, it is a cultural exchange as diverse as the Rangers themselves. Go Go Power Rangers!
E62 · 19 Nov 2025 · 2 hr 23 min
What time is it? It's Lore Time. Come along with us and learn about the Land of Ooo, a place that is at the same time silly and sad, cartoonish and emotional. There's a stretchy dog. We've got all the Lore you need to get up to speed on the latest Fionna and Cake show, as well as plenty of deep lore to impress your friends, be they candy, fire, or slime based. Mathematical!
E61 · 5 Nov 2025 · 2 hr 48 min
If at first you don't succeed, tri, tri again. The gang brushed off their digivices, put on their goggles, and fell back into the world of Digimon Adventure tri. It's just like the old Digimon, except this time everyone is older and now you have a mortgage and a retirement account.
E60 · 22 Oct 2025 · 2 hr 25 min
I was researching the Lore, late one nightWhen my eyes beheld an eerie sightIt was Sammi and Erik who came to remindThere's a music album with a story behind.It was The Monster Mash. What's scarier for the Halloween season than listening to the canon lore of a spooky dance monsters do? Maybe listening to two grown men attempt to do said dance.
E59 · 8 Oct 2025 · 1 hr 47 min
The Lore is back and what better way to get up to speed than to talk about the fastest thing alive. Sonic has done a lot of things, some of them canonically. We try to make some sense of what makes this chili dog fueled vermin keep pace with the other mascots. OCs are mentioned only a few (dozen) times, pls do not steal.
E58 · 22 Jan 2025 · 2 hr 32 min
Break out the grease and Nos because it's time for the gang to go faster and with more fury than they have ever gone before. What is family? Who is family? Why is family? These questions and more will not be answered by us, but we will explain why Vin Diesel is so powerful but only while behind the wheel of a car. In the passenger seat this time around is Ethan with Lizzy at the wheel (https://lizardxlizard.carrd.co/).
E57 · 8 Jan 2025 · 1 hr 57 min
Erik came in wide-eyed and crazed about a movie that was made from a book that was made about the lyrics of a song. Naturally, we had to explore this holiday themed world where the season is less than festive and the lessons learned are...up to interpretation. At the very least we keep the Christ in Christmas Shoes. On this episode are cohosts Erik and Lizzy (https://lizardxlizard.carrd.co/)
E56 · 11 Dec 2024 · 1 hr 37 min
CJ is sick, Fran is sick, let's play games. Defying gravity? More like defying canon am I right? This week the gang dives into the deep lore The Wizard of Oz, but the original stuff so you won't even be able to impress your friends with cool Wicked lore. Unless your friends would be more impressed with lore from a hundred year old book in which case your friends will probably like the podcast too. Lizard is a host on this one, check her out or get turned into a cactus: https://lizardxlizard.carrd.co/
