Hollow Knight
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.

Lost (TV Series)
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.

Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer
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!

BattleTech
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).

Power Rangers
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!

Digimon Adventure tri
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.

The Monster Mash
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.

Sonic The Hedgehog: In 3D
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.

Fast & Furious
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/).

The Christmas Shoes
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/)
