Description
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 beloved imaginary worlds all while revealing the truths the average viewer may never see. Are they always right? Most certainly not. Are they comprehensive? Why would you want them to be? Can we make you the next star of your board game night with regaling tales that are pretty correct? Definitely.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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).
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!
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!
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.
I was researching the Lore, late one night
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
It was Sammi and Erik who came to remind
There'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.
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.
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/).
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/)
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/
The finale is finally here, the final say on the finish of feltish tale. All the strings are finally coming together, the weave completed (except that the Netflix series was cancelled). Complete your knowledge of the Dark Crystal as we bid our special guest goodbye, for now.
Thanks again for Sammi and Erik's research and of course Lizzy for cohosting (https://lizardxlizard.carrd.co/).
A new age dawns, and by that we mean we have another episode of dark fantasy puppets for you. The stakes are being raised, these little guys are facing horrors beyond their fuzzy minds. Perhaps if they can navigate this Labyrinth of alliances and enemies they can come out on top, or at least stay above ground.
Who knows how it's going to turn out (we do). Friends Sammi and Erik return for the journey along with the always lovely Lizzy (https://lizardxlizard.carrd.co/).
Halloween and is here and we are bringing the fall vibes with this classic dark fantasy starring puppets and only puppets. Learn everything there is to know about the world of the Dark Crystal. Who put the big bird men in charge? Why do they keep talking about needing to "defend" from "attackers?" Does an ancient spiritual mother-being make babies the old fashioned way? We will find out all of this and more on our new multi part series that begins this All Hallows Eve Eve.
Thanks again to good friends and special guests Sammi and Erik who are bringing our lore to us on this journey and to good wife and co-host Liz (https://lizardxlizard.carrd.co/).
*Content Warning* Themes of self harm and sexual abuse.
We bring you tales from the Quiet Mounds. Are we being haunted by ghosts, or is it all just politics? Either way the natives tried to warn us and we didn't listen so now we bring you the very timely horror classic. Press left and right to rotate as we take on another staple of the horror game series to discover, what is Silent Hill (it's a town in Maine).
*Content Warning* Themes of sexual assault and abuse.
We're back just in time for the spooky season and we have a big one. Ever wonder what that little dancing chest-burster in Space Balls is a reference to? Isn't it curious how everyone says "Game Over Man, Game Over?" Why is the bad guy in Metroid named that? All of these easily answered questions are explored like an abandoned alien ship filled with dead guys and scary eggs. Watch and be amazed as CJ descends into madness like a movie franchise descends into being not so good anymore.
The girls are back in town and that town is Forks and how can they still possibly be talking about sparkling vampires? Well it has something to do with hunky werewolves and unholy cabals. It's hard to tell for sure, I got really distracted at the parts where they were talking about falling in love with babies.
I'm sure it all makes sense in the end though.
