If Kirby swallowed a boss from Metal Gear Solid, what absolutely bonkers power would he obtain? Which of the X-Men would be the biggest bummer of a roommate? Is King Bob-Omb's rule officially recognized by the Mushroom Kingdom or is Bob-Omb Battlefield a sovereign nation? Debate This! asks the kind of bold and heroic questions about your favorite video games and comics that no other podcast would dare ask. Although, it's probably because other people have better things to do than argue which color of Yoshi is the best color of Yoshi. In this show, no one is right, but someone is definitely wrong.
- 589 - FLAVOR TEXT: Deltarune (Pt 2)
Despite everything, it's still you. Or at least that's what we were told in Undertale, but now we're picking up from the ending of our Undertale FLAVOR TEXT where we talked briefly about Deltarune and are now diving into chapters 1-5.
Find out what an alternative reality world looks like for your favorite Undertale characters like Toriel, Sans, and Alphys. Then, accidentally fall into a portal to the Dark World to meet your newest friends with very normal names like Lancer, Rouxls Kaard, and Ralsei whose name is an anagram for Asriel which I'm sure is just a coincidence. Join Todd as he takes Matt and Kyle to his Castle Town all the way up to where they meet their dad's best friend, Jarona!

Tue, 15 Sep 2026 - 1h 45min - 588 - Ep. 198: In Funkest Bass, On Thursday Night
The latest installment in James Gunn's DC Universe has come to streaming in all of its glowing, green glory. Even though moviegoers were introduced to Guy Gardner as the Green Lantern in 2025's Superman, HBO Maxers(?) have the opportunity to watch Hal Jordan train John Stewart in the new show, Lanterns. Here's the kicker, Lanterns is pretty good! Because this new show has proven that adding power rings to a series makes it good, we've decided to follow suit. This week we're out to determine which scripted show of the past would be improved with a Green Lantern!
Andrew is doing impressions. Kyle is doing optimism. Matt has to go back.

Tue, 08 Sep 2026 - 58min - 587 - Ep. 197: The Pres-TCG
Trading card games are so hot right now. You've got Magic: The Gathering, Pokémon, Yu-Gi-OH!, Riftbound, One Piece, Lorcana, Flesh & Blood, and, like, a dozen more. The whole economy around TCGs has only been accelerated by millennial nostalgia. With 90s kids cresting into their 40s, they now have the funds to chase that foil Charizard they've always wanted. Well we're on a mission to break into that market. This week we're pitch nostalgic TCGs based on properties that have never come to cardboard.
Matt is appealing to a particular type of gamer. Todd is appealing to a particular type of athlete. Kyle is appealing to himself in particular.

It's been three years since our last Magic: The Gathering FLAVOR TEXT. In those last three years, a lot of things have happened in the MtG universe. Also, we all got REAL into Magic: The Gathering.

It's Christmas in July! Well, technically it's August and so it's like two weeks late but whatever! As a belated Christmas in July present, we're doing a Part 3 of the thing we definitely said we would do evey two years at the end of the year, and we definitely didn't do this off the cuff to hide some pretty aggressive vacation schedules.
Welcome to our latest round up of our commissioned book report episodes we call FLAVOR TEXT! We're back at it once more adding our latest batch of tier lists to the master, asking questions that actually may never have been legitimately asked before, like: "Does Primetime Glick sit in-between, or after Halo and Gilmore Girls?"

He's dangerous, he's angry, he's on fire, and he has a skull face covered in the literal fires of Christian Hell. That's right kids, it's time we (finally) break down everyone's favorite #edgelord, Ghost Rider! Fun fact: You may know the Spirit of Vengeance as Jonny Blaze (i.e. Nic Cage in the movie) or Robbie Reyes from Agents of SHIELD. Well, there have actually been 22 documented Ghost Riders throughout Marvel's run of the character, making Ghost Rider one of the oldest and most prevalent figures in the entire Marvel universe!

Tue, 28 Jul 2026 - 2h 19min - 582 - Ep. 196: Work Life Balance Patch
Over the past two decades, game publishers have been producing less and less physical products. PlayStation announcing their intention to phase out game discs is just the next in a long line of cuts. Back in the day, games used to come with posters, demo discs, and, most importantly, instruction manuals. Well, we here at DT!HQ have taken it upon ourselves to revitalize a love of physical media among the youths! That's why we're putting our 30-something minds together to create an instruction manual for adulthood.
Andrew plans to expose the sad truths of growing old. Todd plans to explain the common traps built into a first job. Kyle plans to expediate the shopping experience.

Tue, 21 Jul 2026 - 1h 14min - 581 - FLAVOR TEXT: The History of Dubstep and Disciple Records
Dubstep is one of those genres that, too many, feels like it simply showed up. But, contrary to popular belief, dubstep has one of the most interesting histories in all of music! Sure, most people heard dubstep for the first time when Skrillex came on the scene in 2011, but the roots of the genre go all the way back to 1940s Jamaica! Come along as we WUBWUBWUB our way through history from Jamaican independence through prolific dubstep music label, Disciple Records.

Fame comes at a price, but we here at DT!HQ believe that some may not be paying in full. That's why we're putting our heads together to expose the mythical creatures living among us! It's time for the truth to come out. Put on your tin foil hats because today we're going to determine which real world celebrity is actually a cryptid in disguise.
Matt ponders the mysteries of undeath. Andrew ponders the mysteries of trickster spirits. Todd ponders the mysteries of dense meat.

Nintendo is gearing up to remaster Star Fox 64 for the Switch 2, marking the third time this beloved classic has been repackaged and sold to the masses. Now with more modern, more disturbing graphics, Star Fox (2026) is bringing Fox, Falco, Slippy, Peppy and the rest to center stage. When you put a character on center stage, the public expects them to deliver a monologue or sing a solo, right? Well, to meet these great expectations, we hear at DT!HQ have decided to cast the characters of Star Fox 64 in a beloved musical!
Todd is hopelessly devoted to his answer. Matt is going out tonight with his answer. Kyle is satisfied with his answer.

Did you know that human beings share 90% of their DNA with chimpanzees? What would happen if you grafted a human with 2% avian DNA? The Maximum Rides series would imply that those people would have functional wings. And psychic powers.
Maximum Ride is NYTs bestselling-est author James Patterson's entry into the YA market (or one of his co-authors' entry). We explore the series and it's hero,human/bird hybrid Max Ride. She and her five siblings are escapees of The School, a top secret research lab that specializes in whatever field produces human/bird hybrids.

LEGO are not only a fun toy to play with in the real world, they're also the building blocks of a whole slew of video games. There are well over 50 official LEGO video games and over 30 of those games are based on movies. Most of those movies are family friendly classics, but nearly a third of annual LEGO sales belong to adults. That's right, LEGO isn't just for kids. These days you can both be into LEGO and also see an R-rated movie in theaters without parental supervision. So, all that said, we're making LEGO games out of R-rated movies. You're welcome!
Kyle is talking about the definitive movies of a franchise. Andrew is talking about the definitive best movie of last year. Todd is talking about definitive Greek mythology.

Six whole years ago, in February of 2020, James Marsden, Jim Carrey and Sonic the Hedgehog sparked an idea in our heads. With box office hits like Sonic and Detective Pikachu, a Super Smash Bros. Cinematic Universe felt inevitable. Well, after half a decade of corporate slop and two Chris Pratt Mario movies, an SSB-CU just isn't as appealing as it used to be. Despite that, we're pitching one anyway. So, you're welcome, I guess.
Matt is doing Rocky but Nintendo. Todd is doing Star Wars but Nintendo. Andrew is doing something else.

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 - 1h 07min - 571 - FLAVOR TEXT: No Man's Sky
Space. The final Frontier. For centuries, man has looked up at the sky and wondered what exists out there beyond the reaches of our imagination. And in 2013, a hero-turned-villian-turned-back-to-hero named Sean Murray dared to answer that question. His answer: Nearly infinite procedural generation.
No Man's Sky is one of the most interesting case studies among modern video games. As we near the game's 10-year anniversary, this marks a great time to look back and reflect. On the surface, this is a story of a game dev who flew too close to the sun and whose wings burned off like Icarus. But, 10 years of free update and massive, free update tell a much different story. Not only did Icarus grow his wings back, but they eventually grew back bigger and better than ever before.

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 - 1h 49min - 570 - Ep. 190: The Book of Elijah Wood
Modern games like Kirby and the Forgotten Lands and Pokemon Pokopia have put a new twist on post-apocalyptic media. These games combine the bleak realities at the end of the world with cute, cozy gameplay and aesthetics. What inspired this fresh outlook on the end of days? Who knows! But we here at DT!HQ are ready to capitalize on the trend. This week we're prepping for the collapse by rebooting old game franchises as cozy, post-apocalyptic tales.
Todd is ready to surprise you with a casting you forgot. Kyle is ready to depress you with an economy you remember. Matt brought cryptids?

You've stuck with us for two years of Disney Channel holiday movies, and so now we figured it's time to shake things up. It's time to talk about one of the most quintessential Holiday movies no one in the history of podcasting has ever talked about: Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Join us for Pt 1 of this epic quest as we journey through The Fellowship of the Ring.
Highlights from our discussion: - Holy crap does this movie hold up - But no really...it really holds up - Even the 2001-era effects look pretty great! - ...and even more Boomer takes like these!

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 - 2h 14min - 568 - Ep. 189: Dash Air, Time Share
The worst part about spring in the Midwest isn't the rain, it's the occasional 75-and-sunny day that sneaks in between the gray, rainy ones. Well after we received a healthy dose of vitamin D, we couldn't shake the idea of a summer vacation. For one reason or another, our travel agents encouraged us to go somewhere we'd seen in a video game. So we put our heads together and pulled out every pamphlet in the office to plan a seasonal getaway. The only question? What is the best video game tourist trap to host our summer vacation?
Matt will make you get your sea legs. Kyle will make you get outdoors. Andrew will make you cut your trip short.

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 - 1h 08min - 567 - FLAVOR TEXT: Witchblade
Living weapons, dark mysticism, and scantily clad protagonists! All that and more are crammed into the subject of this week's Flavor Text: Witchblade. It was one of the top selling comic books of the 90s and early 2000s and it spawned a Buffy-esque TV show that was actually pretty good! It's also got a Christ allegory and talks a lot about the Christian God. So...there's that.

Sharks, entering the Tank today are three scrappy entrepreneurs. They're each seeking an investment with the hope of bringing their new products to market. Now these aren't just any products. These business owners found the best items video games have to offer and they want to make them consumer grade. So grab your notebook and check under the bed for Mark Cuban because we're doing a Shark Tank episode!
Todd's bringing the beat. Andrew's bringing the box. Kyle is bringing his brother.

Society is collapsing all around us and 4 out of 5 dentists say it's because people don't have "Third Places" anymore. Everyone has home, the "First Place." Everyone has work, the "Second Place." But so few of us have the mythic "Third Place" that allows us to hang out, unwind and exist without spending an exorbitant amount of energy. Well, in hopes of saving society, we're turning to video games to find our next leisure space.
Andrew has biplanes. Matt has buckets. Todd has battle games.

Tue, 17 Feb 2026 - 57min - 564 - FLAVOR TEXT: The Horus Heresy
It is the 41st Millennium. For more than a hundred centuries the Emperor of Mankind has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Earth. But, how did we get here? Was the deified head of the Imperium of Man always a rotting corpse sitting atop an actual golden throne? And, how did the universe become littered with zombified men mutating into horrifying flesh demons? It's been a minute, but we're treading back to the grim, dark future of Warhammer this month. Namely, we're talking all about the most pivotal era of the lore's long, long history, the Horus Heresy! Come and join our fellow Warhammer junkie and Acolyte of Chaos Andrew as he details this defining moment for the once-thriving Imperium.

If you like to talk to tomatoes, if a squash can make you smile, if you like to waltz with potatoes, then I hope you're ready to learn about tax evasion. That's right everyone, we're doing Veggie Tales! But the execs at DT!HQ have asked that we "do secular Veggie Tales." That's why we're on the hunt for the next great literary work to be adapted by Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber.
Todd is riding a bike. Matt is surviving spread. Kyle is breaking out of jail.

Long ago, two races ruled over Earth: HUMANS and MONSTERS. One day, war broke out between the two races. After a long battle, the humans were victorious. They sealed the monsters underground with a magic spell...or so the opening crawl of Undertale would have you believe is the full story.

Tue, 20 Jan 2026 - 1h 29min - 561 - Ep. 185: Seize the Means of Pokéduction
When a podcast records its ninth season premiere, it begins to ponder its relevance. Are people still listening? Are there any debates left to be had? Have we done all the bits there are to do? When these questions begin to plague a podcaster, they return to their roots: Pokémon and formative British literature. Don't worry, we found another bit! This time we're building Pokémon games on a budget.
Kyle suggests standardization. Matt suggests recycling. Andrew suggests seizing the means of production.

2025 has been the year of the LIVE! show at DT!HQ, so we're capping off the season with one more. Back in July, we braved the muggy streets of downtown Pittsburgh, PA and had our largest crowd yet at Tekko! With large crowds comes large responsibility and thus we asked: which IRL job would make the best subject matter for a JRPG?
Andrew is marketing, Todd is installing, and Kyle is at home in bed.

After seven non-denominational winter gift exchanges, we here at DT!HQ decided to change things up. We've gifted each other so many ridiculous video game peripherals that we forgot to set aside a game to play! Well we summoned the Ghosts of Gaming's Past, Present and Future to teach us about the winter, non-denominational holiday could be. They're going to lead us through a retrospective journey as we determine which cancelled video game of yore should be revived for gamers in 2026.
Andrew is ready to show us what you can do with infinite crowd funding money. Kyle is ready to show us what you can do if you don't feed into corporate monopoly. Todd is here to show us what you can do if you keep your promises.

Esports may seem like a wild, new phenomenon, but the story of competitive gaming starts in 1972. Sure, they weren't filling arenas or handing out scholarships 50 years ago, but these proto-esports paved the way for the modern industry. From the first women to be called "professional gamers," to the release of Quake in 1996, to the rise and fall of the Overwatch League, strap in for the story of modern esports!

There's so much pleasure in the simple. The joy that comes from simple, arcade beat 'em up games is unmatched by the AAA gaming experience.

This week, we're combining two simple things to make one, slightly more complicated thing! Gather all your quarters because this week we're turning beat 'em up games into reality TV shows!
Kyle is focusing on a family dynamic. Matt is focusing on a dating dynamic. Andrew is focusing on a workplace dynamic.

There's just so much content! Not only is there more content than any one person could ever consume, but the glut of content has also made it difficult for any one property to make a cultural splash. Back in the 2000s, a single TV show or movie could make such a big cultural splash that they would spawn a tie-in video game! It may be hard to believe, but people used like content so much that they wanted more of it! That's why we here at DT!HQ are getting nostalgic and determining "which current TV show deserves a tie-in video game?"
Andrew is redefining the corporate ladder. Matt is taking us to Newark, New Jersey. Todd is forcing us to stare into the trash pile.

Tue, 11 Nov 2025 - 1h 43min - 552 - Ep. 180: Ranked Trauma
We're careening towards the Holiday Season which brings quality time spent with family you may or may not love. Well, do you know the quickest way to improve time spent with family you may or may not love? With traditional table games you may or may not love, of course! Unfortunately, traditional table games just don't hit the same in 2025. Luckily, roguelites like Balatro and BALL x PIT have paved a way for these beloved pastimes to reenter the gamer lexicon. That's why we're spending this week deciding which card or board game would make the best roguelite.
Kyle is talking about a game you've heard of but probably don't understand. Andrew is talking about a game you've played but probably don't understand. Matt is talking about a game you've probably played and do understand.

Tue, 04 Nov 2025 - 1h 05min - 551 - Ep. 179: Smells Like Bear Spirit
It's week 3 of the Spooktacular Express and this is, without a doubt, the scariest episode we've ever done. Put on your helmets, tune in and drop out as we take you to the realm of your VR nightmares. To make things even spookier, we've enlisted the "help" of an amorphous, soulless, faceless monster: generative AI. That's right, we're combining a game series with AI Slop(TM) to create the most terrifying VR experience possible.
Andrew is taking us back to a game we almost remember. Kyle is taking us to the government. Todd is taking us to a pervert cave.
*DISCLAIMER: This episode is a bit. We here at DT!HQ think that AI sucks and we don't condone its use in creative spaces.

The year was 1979 and a scrappy little 16 year old named Richard Garriott started coding his friends' latest Dungeons & Dragons campaign into an Apple II. This is the small domino that fell over to eventually result in millions of players worldwide romancing a bear 30+ years later in Baldur's Gate 3. How did we get there? Well, there's a lot of answers to that question but a predominant step was through the landmark CRPG series, Ultima.

Tue, 14 Oct 2025 - 1h 52min - 549 - Ep. 178: Sigourney Halloweaver
*Insert train whistle here* Did the Spooktacular Express sneak up on you? Because it snuck up on us! We blinked in January and suddenly it became Spooky Season. Even though we got caught on our heels, we're still confident that we can pull together the best Halloween party the internet has ever seen. To make it happen, we're calling in some friends from Nintendo to buff up the party vibes. That left us with the question: Which Nintendo property would host the best Halloween party?
Matt is excited to tell you about a movie he's never seen. Todd is excited to tell you about a weird, little freak. Kyle is excited to tell you about a Freudian Slip.

Tue, 07 Oct 2025 - 58min - 548 - FLAVOR TEXT: Bloodborne
The pale moon rises on Yharnam, a Victorian England-inspired city cursed with a mysterious plague known only as the "Beast Scourge." You arrive in Yhaarnam by way of spooky blood magic as the latest inductee to this underground society of Hunters, whose sole purpose is to hunt and kill the beasts terorrizing the town. But, this is a Dark Souls game, and so there's no possible way there could be anything hidden deeper in this cool werewolf game, right?

Tue, 13 Jun 2023 - 2h 17min - 547 - Ep. 123: Choose Your Own Blood God
Four years ago, we asked the question "Which Legend of Zelda Item Would You Bring with You to a Deserted Island?" Well, in case you didn't notice, a big, beautiful, new Legend of Zelda game released last month and it's time for us to recapture the magic and surf the SEO wave! So, just like season 3 of Lost, we have to go back. Inspired by Tears of the Kingdom, this week we're asking, "Which two Legend of Zelda Items Would You Bring with You to a Deserted Island?"
When all your problems are nails, everything is a hammer. Unfortunately for Todd, there are no nails on this island. Matt hasn't played TotK yet, but he has seen 2000's Castaway and that has to be something. Meanwhile, Kyle is here to ask more questions about video game physics than we could possibly answer.

Tue, 16 May 2023 - 05min - 544 - Ep. 122: Expensive Spaghetti and Casual Infidelity (ft. Kelsey Lewin)
April showers have brought May flowers and as winter transitions to spring, we here at DT!HQ are looking for something seasonal to celebrate! Unfortunately, we've already passed the Q1 holidays. So, in an effort to save this loosely constructed episode topic, we reached back into our collective high school trauma and decided to do a Prom Episode! Now, when I think of Prom, the first video game I think of is 1987's Punch-Out!! That's why this week we're asking the question, "Which Punch-Out!! Boxer would you take to prom?"
Andrew ventured to the Great White North in search of a date and a gallon of maple syrup. Kyle is making an entrance with the power of dance and white leisure suits. Todd is actually still banned from DT!HQ Prom, so we invited a new friend to our Prom Group. Welcome, from the school district across the county (and also the Video Game History Foundation,) Kelsey Lewin to our fancy dinner reservation!

Six months ago, we dreamt up some new edutainment games. Well it went so well that we decided to do it again! This time, we wanted to change it up a bit. Instead of turning an existing game into an edutainment game, this week we attempt to turn existing historical events into playable video games! We even invited a guest this time!
Kyle is here to talk about everyone's favorite nexus point, and also put us all on a list. Todd rehashes a tumblr post that we promise you've seen at least twice. Andrew embarks on the journey that is presidential scandals, but no, not THAT one. And finally, our very good friend Eric Silver from Multitude Podcasting is here mostly to talk about Midnight in Paris.

Tue, 02 May 2023 - 1h 31min - 542 - Ep. 120: His Eyes: They Shooty
We here at DT!HQ have certainly hit our stride when it comes to remakes of cable television shows. We've talked about Cribs, Forged in Fire, Forged in Fire again, Celebrity Rehab and a number of other gems of the 2000s. Today we're running it back and dipping a toe into the Reality TV Universe (RTVU). It is our mission today to use the path laid by the RTVU to guide the future of the MCU. So with that in mind, today we're asking, "what would be the best reality show to remake starring the X-Men?"
It's honestly a little disturbing how much we knew about reality TV. Matt flexes his knowledge with a deep cut WB show. Andrew scopes in on the personality of late 90s Nickelodeon Teens. Todd completes the infernal contract we must sign to talk about reality television as he invokes the name of the Bachelor(ette).

Welcome, stranger! You've driven a long way from The Big City, so why not park that fancy car over there and take a load off here at the diner. Which diner, you say? Why, the only one in town! What's that? You don't want to leave your car in the middle of the street? No worries there, stranger! We here at Stars Hollow have evolved past the need of paltry things like cars, or retail chains, or global economies. So, sit back, relax, grab a knitting needle for the annual Knit-a-Thon, and listen to the DT! boys break down the 8 seasons of love and laughter that is Gilmore Girls.

On the day of our non-denominational Lord, April 1st, 2023, 3 nerds were given a platform. A platform, not just on the internet, but in a real life place in front of real life people at the Midwestern Gaming Classic in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This is that podcast.
Matt hosted a one-on-one debate between Todd and Andrew to determine which classic GameCube game should be remastered in 2023. The answer involved more primates than you could possibly imagine.

DT!HQ takes a firm stance against gatekeeping. Whether your favorite games are on a console, a PC, or a mobile device, we consider you a gamer and you are valid. Unless, of course, you're one of the perverts still playing Facebook games in 2023. If you aren't keeping up with the news out of the Meta-camp, the Metaverse isn't exactly headed to the moon. Well luckily for old Zucks, the execs called us in to help revitalize that smooth VR hellscape. Today, we're gathered around the proverbial Round Table to decide which Facebook game would be the best to integrate into the Metaverse.
You're going to hear about a lot of games today, most of them you'll at least remember hearing about. Matt's answer is not one of those games. Todd and Kyle, on the other hand, went with games that you'll be much more familiar with. Or you will be, if you're into match three and idle games.

There is truly no spin-off too obscure for us to turn into a DT! episode. And, when a spin-off begins to pick up speed on a major streaming service, it is our job--nay, our duty--to turn it into a silly podcast about comics or video games. So, it should be no surprise to you, a listener of culture, that we're persenting to you today an episode based on Netflix mega-hit, FiF:KoD! Oh, that's Forged in Fire: Knife or Death for you uncultured dweebs. This week, we seek to discover which comic book weapon would perform the best in a History Channel Knife Sports show.
If you came here for Norse mythology, Andrew has something special for you. Someone had to talk about a DC property, so we left that for Kyle. Todd's answer has the emphasis on the wrong syllable. Also, WWE's Bill Goldberg is here!

Tue, 21 Feb 2023 - 1h 35min - 535 - Ep. 116: A Cloaca is A Cloaca (ft. Jennasis)
Happy Valentine's Day freaks! Look, I'm just going to say it up front, this is the horniest episode we've released in approximately 47 episodes. If you're not cool with that, then get out now. But if you are cool with that, my co-hosts and I saw you from across the bar and we really dig your vibe. It's all love here folks, and to prove it, we're crafting some new love interests. Today's debate asks which video game boss encounter would make the best romance option. The answer, as always, may surprise you.
It's one of those episodes where Andrew boils the noun soup that is Final Fantasy. Kyle talks about forbidden love and Matt says the word "goo" a lot. Obviously, the DT! boys aren't exactly kings of romance, so we called in a ringer this week. Jennasis from the Two Girls, One Ship Podcast answered the call and we're sure glad she did!

Tue, 07 Feb 2023 - 1h 46min - 533 - DLC EPISODE: CBCB:CBBC Pilot
What even is that title? It's just a bunch of letters? Anyway, this bonus episode is one from the Patreon vault! Last summer, we had a Summer 'O' Pilots on the DT! Premium feed. We ran four pilots to test out some formats for a new Patreon Show and we're about to let our Patrons vote on the best one. You may remember hearing a clip show on this feed last year which featured three of those four pilots. If not, it'll be linked below. Well today we present you with the fourth and final show, a show that the DT! crew has been workshopping for a while now using the most cumbersome title yet. This month, Todd leads us all in a monthly comic book club where we will dissect the first issue of Marvel's 8-issue Secret Invasion arc from 2008. It's got espionage, double-crosses, and a whooooole lotta butts. Recommended Reading: "DLC EPISODE: Summer 'O' Pilots! Clip Show"

Tue, 31 Jan 2023 - 1h 03min - 532 - Ep. 115: Everybody Gets Wondery
Look, everyone knows if you don't get at least 1 trillion downloads on your Season 6 premiere episode, you'll never make it in podcasting. With that in mind, we've decided to change our format up here a little bit at DT!HQ. As of right now and probably definitely forever, we're a true crime podcast! We're excited to embark on this bold, new journey. But, we also understand the value of staying in our lane. That's why we're kicking off our true crime journey by deciding what the best(?) video game crime to make a podcast about could be!
Our 3 debaters all cover a different major faction of true crime. Matt's White Collar Nation lived peacefully with Andrew's Murder Nation. But everything changed when Todd and the Cult Nation attacked!

Tue, 24 Jan 2023 - 56min - 531 - FLAVOR TEXT: Console Wars
Before Xbox and Playstation were waging war in the 2000s, we were dealing with the console war version of the Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. The shot heard 'round the world was a simple phrase: "Sega does what Ninten-don't." We all remember the bold and edgy marketing that drew the line in the sand. Brother against brother, we all had to take a side in the console wars of the 90s, but that's not the whole picture of a story that starts years earlier. Join us today as Matt walks us through the earliest console wars in today's FLAVOR TEXT guaranteed to hit you hard right in the nostalgia bone.
Special thanks to #buttthompnation member "@MGrum54," who was kind enough to give us an excuse to break out the Nintendo light gun by commissioning this episode! If you want to commission your own FLAVOR TEXT, check out our Patreon page at patreon.com/debatethiscast.

Tue, 17 Jan 2023 - 2h 15min - 530 - Ep. 114: Atomic Purple Malarkey Maker
We're kicking off season 6 with a monumental task. Listen, we don't just say, "yes!" to everything that is asked of us here at ol' DT!HQ, but when your country comes a-callin', you must answer. IRL President Joey Bides dropped a line to the DT! Marketing Department to ask for help with the most patriotic of problems: The rebranding of America. That's right everyone. The Red, White, and Blue are so two thousand and late that Joey Bides wants us to pick a new color to usher forth a revitalized American Spirit. That said, he wants us to pick a color from a very specific list--the list of N64 controller colors. Welcome to the State of the DT!HQ. Set your DVR for C-SPAN as we answer the age old question: What color of N64 controller is the best?
Every debate needs its chump answer, and Kyle is here to tell you it's not Atomic Purple. Andrew yearns for the absolute radness of the 1990s while he reminisces about Extreme Green. Matt plants his flag with the 99% and gives the most accessible, albeit the most boring answer of the day.

Tue, 20 Dec 2022 - 54min - 526 - FLAVOR TEXT: Nintendo Power
Imgur link: https://imgur.com/a/8O43LUA There are cultural touchstones we can all count on as nerds who grew up in the 90's. A closet full of Nintendo Power issues that we suckered our parents/grandparents into paying for is certainly one of them. Whether it was the monthly letters to the editor, or the deep dives into that month's featured game, Nintendo Power's impact on getting kids to read is second only to the Pizza Hut BOOK IT! program. Join for today's FLAVOR TEXT as Andrew and Kyle blast us right in our faces with a monthly paper 'zine subscription amount of nostalgia. Come for the walk down memory lane, stick around for the weird viral, Donkey Kong-themed marketing that Rare went all in on. Special thanks to "BaconBitBehemoth" for reminding us some of us of the last time we actually read for pleasure. Want to learn how to comission your own Flavor Text?

Tue, 13 Dec 2022 - 1h 54min - 525 - Ep. 112: Are We Baddy or Are We Daddy?
In the earliest days of 2017, a new gaming style swept the nation as PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds introduced the world to the Battle Royale. It wasn't long before every 10-year-old had downloaded PUBG on their parents' iPads and joined the hunt for that illusive winner winner chicken dinner. Battle Royale games pit 100 (or some other arbitrary number) players against each other to see who is the very best like, no one ever was. UNRELATED: A new Pokemon game just came out! Sure would be weird to combine those two ideas, right? Sure would be weird to ask the debaters to create the best possible Pokemon Battle Royale game, right?
Matt struggles this week to determine the difference between day and night. Todd is the middleman this week as he answers the exact question that he was asked. Andrew makes a mistake, and the rest of the crew call him on it.

Tue, 06 Dec 2022 - 1h 08min - 524 - FLAVOR TEXT: DT! Nerdy Origin Stories
Every character has an origin story. Maybe they have fallen into a vat of radioactive eels, fallen into a pit of radioactive sand, fallen into a vat of mind-twisting chemicals, fallen into a mess of hazardous materials, or fallen into a lightning bolt that struck a bunnch of chemicals and somehow created the speedforce, every character has an origin story. Today's FLAVOR TEXT takes time to dive into the nerdy origin story of each co-host of Debate This! Come along with us as we discuss the games that made us, the nerd franchises that critically impacted our personalities well into our adult years, and how none of our origins involve falling into anything unless you count falling into the depression caused by the post-2008 job market. Special thanks to the only blood relative of this podcast who supports the fruits of our efforts and also isn't Matt's mom, "Dr. Garlicbutter," for commissioning this introspective dive into our own nerdy backstories.

Tue, 29 Nov 2022 - 2h 06min - 523 - Ep. 111: Re-Education (Through Kickflips and Guns)
As children of the 90s and 2000s, Millenials are intimately familiar with the concept of "Edutainment." In an attempt to meet the kids where they were, educators tried their hardest to develop games where the real plot was the lessons we learned along the way. Weirdly, around the same time, video games got real gray and gritty. Wouldn't it be wild if you smashed those two concepts together? Wouldn't it? Andrew unlocks the vault of controversial video games and pulls Postal 2 from its depths. Todd checks the Sonic box and makes sure we all know what our hedgehog personas look like. Kyle makes us all very uncomfortable as we explore religious trauma together. What more could you possibly want when we ask, "What gritty game would make the best Edutainment game?"

Tue, 22 Nov 2022 - 1h 02min - 522 - FLAVOR TEXT: Dungeons & Dragons
You enter a room, extinguished candles smolder upon sconces that fill the dark alcoves all around you. Your vision is limited unless you have darkvision. Do any of you have darkvision? Oh you do? Oh you all do? Never mind, you see everything just fine but in greyscale. Also, the door was actually a mimic. The carpet is a mimic too. Roll initiative. We gather in this nameless tavern today to dive into the history, deep lore, and fun knowledge bits of Dungeons & Dragons. Join us as we discuss the origin of the world's greatest roleplaying game, the differences in prior editions, a discussion into just how fantastic of a character the Raven Queen is, and ending with a fun game of "Is it a D&D Adventure Module or is it a Quest from a Video Game?" Special thanks to our favorite 20-sided dice rolling agent of chaos, "@whomstrodomus" for commissioning today's episode.

Tue, 15 Nov 2022 - 1h 33min - 521 - DLC EPISODE: Video Game Creepypastas Vol. 6
"I think I can! I think I can! I think I can!" said the Spooktacular Express as we willed it deeper into November for one more stop! We're wrapping up our Halloween-themed journey with a fan-favorite tradition, Creepypasta Story Time.
If this is your first time seeing one of our Creepypasta episodes in your feed, please allow me to explain. Creepypastas are spooky internet stories. Some are good, some are bad, some are just absolutely bananas. Every scary season, the DT! guys sit around a digital zoom campfire and tell each other these stories, for better or for worse! This year, Andrew tells us the horrors of retro tech, Todd gives us a cult warning, and Matt talks about comics. Keep scrolling to find links to these stories near the bottom of the shownotes!
Because we have extended the Spooktacular Express, so too have we extended the Spooktacular Bonus! You have until November 15th to slap the roof of these sweet deals!

Tue, 08 Nov 2022 - 57min - 520 - DLC EPISODE: Night of the Living Dontcha Know!
Happy Halloween if you're to the left of the Eastern Time Zone and happy November first to the rest of you! This is typically the last stop on the Spooktacular Express, but as you'll hear in this episode, we're exteding the spookems for a few extra weeks.
Last Halloween we recorded a very special DnD one-shot episode that transported us to Minnesota to fight through a zombie apocalypse! That spooky adventure has been locked behind our Patreon paywall for a year, but much like an infectious zombie virus, it escaped! Even if you're not an avid listener of our actual-play show The Office Drones, or actual-play podcasts in general, we promise this episode will be worth the listen just to hear how the DT! guys handle the end of the world.

Tue, 01 Nov 2022 - 3h 01min - 519 - The Office Drones DX: Book 2
As the Spooktacular Express pulls out of its final Rainforest Cafe for the year, the DT! crew wanted to take time to reflect on the journeys we taken together and the friends we made along the way--exclusively related to our Patreon-exclusive D&D real-play podcast, The Office Drones! That's right, it's time for a clip show, baybee. Continuing the tradition of last year's supercut of the first five episodes and the introductory Episode 0, please enjoy this second Director's Cut version of the Marketing arc, which represents Episodes 6-10.
If you don't know what this is and a D&D real-play podcast featuring real-life office employees fighting D&D monsters with JIRA tickets and HR benefits summaries sounds like nonsense, then check out the first of this Director's Cut series originally uploaded in November 2021 titled "The Office Drones DX: Book 1." And, if you like this and want to hear more, please consider subscribing to our Patreon at $5/month for access to all current and backlogged episodes of the show!

*Insert train whistle here* It's Spooktacular Express week 3 and we're getting High Concept. There aren't many better (betterier?) ways to celebrate spooky season than curling up with your boo for a scary slasher flick. We've produced plenty of movies here at DT!HQ but none of them have been slashers. Opportunity knocked and we answered with web-based, stick figure-centric, flash game-inspired pitches to decide which flash game would make the best kitschy slasher movie!
Todd comes in strong but it doesn't take long for him to pizza himself into a bad time. Matt has a bone to pick with 2001's Donnie Darko. Kyle sets a new record for longest walk on shortest pier which, on this show, is honestly the most impressive thing.
We made a lot of new friends this weekend at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo! If you're one of those new friends, welcome! Also, the show notes keep going, keep scrolling.

In September 1998, the U.S. was introduced to the franchise that would soon become a worldwide phenomenon: Pokémon. After only 18 months, Pokémon was everywhere--on TV, in car CD players, in school cafeterias, and on kids' backpacks and bedsheets. You couldn't walk 5 feet inside a Kmart and not see something with Pikachu's likeness on it. How did this come about? Why, all of a sudden, was every child aged 7-14 suddenly screaming for their parents in to buy them booster pack upon booster pack of Pokémon cards in the summer of 1999? And, why oh God why is there a Pokémon Christmas album? Find out the answers to all these questions and more on our deep dive into the late 90s cultural phenomenon that was Pokémania.
Special thanks to our first-generational Pokémon Master, "@mgrum54" for commissioning today's episode. If you're interested in comissioning your own FLAVOR TEXT, come check out our patreon at patreon.com/debatethiscast.

*Insert train whistle here* It's Spooktacular Express time y'all! Gear up for our month-long, Halloween-themed content adventure as we bored the train for a mythical mall in Colorado. We may not have an almost-zombie daughter, a goblin mask, or a bunch of NPCs to escort to the safe room, but we're still talking Dead Rising. It's time to slay some zombies because this week we're trying to make the best combo weapon with a video game item and a real world thing! (Keep scrolling for some Spooktacular Patreon Info) Andrew is on the defensive this week. Kyle may not understand how carpet works. Todd seems like he might have picked up a jewelry sponsorship but don't worry, he has to tell us. Spooktacular Review-a-thon:

Tue, 04 Oct 2022 - 1h 04min - 515 - FLAVOR TEXT: Completing Video Games
Picture this. You've dedicated hundreds of your limited hours of existence exclusively to The Legend of Zelda: The Breath of the Wild. You've cleaned out every one of the 120 shrines, you've maxed out your health and stamina, and you've found the most rare and powerful weapons. Moreover, you've explored every inch of the map and have literally overturned each and every stone in order to find all 900 Korok seeds--most of which didn't even provide material gain. But, you did it. You have done all of the things and have seen all the stuff. As you nab that 900th Korok seed, you breath a sigh of relief, saying quietly to yourself: "It's over."
Triumphantly, you rush to the NPC character who originally set you off on this quest, wondering to yourself what kind of reward could possibly be in store? Maybe some super cool armor or overpowered weapon? Maybe an extra shrine or dungeon or something? You eagerly wait for the Korok's fun and silly dance to conclude, soberly aware this will be the last time you may ever see this dance because you are definitely never going to do this again. The Korok leader tells you "here is your reward", and you get the new item prompt--only to show that you've just been handed a golden piece of poop. That's right. You combed the vast expanse of the Hyrule wastes in order to find all these dang Korok seeds just to receive a big ol' turd. You shrug a bit and ask yourself, "OK, what's next?"
What makes people compulsively explore every corner and check every box in a video game? Why do we always feel like we -have- to get all the achievements and get all the collectables to see the TRUE ending? Today, we explore that innate desire to 100% video games.

Tue, 27 Sep 2022 - 1h 54min - 514 - Ep. 108: Big Battle Pass Energy
After nearly five full years, all four Debaters are actually in the same room for an episode! As a podcast that records almost exclusively remote, this was a lot of fun, but also we didn't have the best equipment for it! So with that in mind, please forgive us if the audio sounds a little different than normal. To distract you from any changes in audio quality, we decided to talk about Fortnite! Join us as we try to appease Elder God Kevin Feige and answer the question, "Which MCU character should be the focus of the next Fortnite Battle Pass?"
Matt decided to talk about everyone's favorite Phase 4 film and the giant statue it introduced us to. Todd talks about a character no one even knows but definitely isn't in the MCU. Kyle's answer involves Marvel's first family and it strangely reminds us all of spaghetti.

Tue, 20 Sep 2022 - 1h 04min - 513 - FLAVOR TEXT: Apex Legends
A space marine gets marooned on a distant planet after a catastrophic spacecraft explosion and discovers a weapon based on ancient alien technology that has the ability to decimate planets. Together with his new A.I. buddy, this physically enhanced "super soldier" races against an army of space zealots to secure control of the superweapon. No, we already *did* Halo. This is Titanfall, and it's totally different because it leads in to the real "combat evolved"...the Mad Max-esque bloodsport that is Apex Legends! Soldiers, murderers, mercenaries, thieves, and friendly robots alike emerge from across the universe to compete in a 30th-century gladiator-like arena, full of guns, explosions, and--most importantly--a whole lot of cooldowns.

Tue, 13 Sep 2022 - 1h 39min - 512 - Ep. 107: The Tim Bit of '83 (ft. Young Deuces)
This season of Debate This! has braved the waters of some uncomfortable topics, but today we venture to truly uncharted seas. Lace up your shoes, strap on your pads, and do other sports related things because today we're talking IRL sports! Now we're not here for your Maddens or your 2s-K, we're here for Chaos and we want it in the Windy City. Today we embark on a journey which asks, "Which athlete should star in their own non-sports game?"
We asked Kyle to talk about sports and he told us about donut history. Todd takes a page from the WKRP in Cincinnati book. Andrew, to no surprise, is bringing us to the year 20XX. Obviously we needed someone on this podcast who actually understands sports, so we drafted Young Deuces of the Geekset podcast (@Young_Deuces on Twitter) to lead our team to our franchise-first championship.

Tue, 16 Aug 2022 - 1h 52min - 508 - Ep. 105: Hang 'Em High at Mt. Winkybunion
Is there a cultural touchstone that has been as wildly touched as MTV's "Making the Band?" Probably! But, to continue our season of ripping ideas straight from Music Television, we're pulling a Diddy and crafting the next musical supergroup. Plenty of characters have touched an instrument throughout the history of video games and that's the only requirement for them to be considered for our bands! So grab your headphones, crank your tunes, and jam out with us as we decide which video game characters should form a band!
If Dream Theater and Tool are your speed, then Todd's band will be for you. Maybe you prefer the stomping and clapping of Florence + The Machine or Mumford & Sons. If that's your vibe, then you can get tickets to Kyle's band! And then there's Matt's band. Hope you like bits and Bluegrass...

"Oh boy, here come those dang investors again. They just won't STOP asking us to pitch them new mashups of old videogames. And it's like their asks are getting more and more hacky and uninspired each time...like, this week they just screamed 'Make NPCs a protagonist!' and then sat there, nearly frozen in place." is what we wrote in our shownotes on May 4th of 2021. Well here we are fourteen months later and hot dog we're going again! This time we ask literally the exact same question as last time, "What NPC deserves to be the protagonist in their own game?
Kyle reflects on his Barista-Era and brings an old friend from Animal Crossing to the table. Matt picked one bit this week and boy does he lean into it. Andrew takes us all on a weird, horny adventure and, you guessed it, everyone disliked that.

Yes, indeed. In the Age of Internet Video the world of Content Creation was unformed, shrouded by fog. A land of dancing babies, epic meals, and Star Wars kids. But then there was Podcasting and with Podcasting came disparity. De-monetization and ad revenue, Copyright strikes and brand deals. Then from the dark, they came, and found of the Sponsorships of Lords within the code. Quibi, the First of the Dead. Best Fiends and their daughters of Chaos, spelled like "friends" without the "r". Blue Apron, the Lord of Sunlight, and their faithful knights Butcher Box and Hello Fresh. Thus began the Age of Podcasting. But soon, the ad revenue will fade and only Content will remain.

Join us today as we talk demographics, representation, and the artists behind the characters. If you hadn't become familiarized with the terrible history of "fridging" then you will be after today.

Tue, 28 Jun 2022 - 2h 01min - 502 - Ep. 102: The Best Things in Life are Court Ordered (ft. Justin Jordan)
Wouldn't it be wild if we remade a 2000s-era reality show but made it about comics characters? Wouldn't that be nuts? We definitely haven't done that before!
The bit this week is all about giving supervillains a shot at redemption. Andrew learned an awful lot about Bane, Todd is all hopped up on sketchy science, and Kyle brings up police reform as well all groan about it. We're looking to create the best "Supervillain Road to Recovery Special," but we needed some help. Lucky for us, Justin Jordan (@freddiesroomate on TikTok) was free for the evening and he knows way more about comics than us.

Tue, 14 Jun 2022 - 1h 50min - 500 - Ep. 101: Mr. Mime Lays Eggs
It's been a few years since the last time we remixed Pokémon gyms, but a particular question from our 100th episode put us back in that mind space. Turns out most of us also have deep trauma related to our own experiences with college internships. Who knew? So this week, we're examining the horrific truths of Pokémon's one-note minibosses by asking, "Which gym leader would host the worst college internship?"
Matt explains the internship experience that at least 50% of interns have. Todd proves to us why a Communications degree is worth it. Oh, and Kyle gets sticky. Like, really sticky.
Recommended reading: We haven't talked about Pokémon gyms since Season 1 of DT!. Here's that throwback if you'd like to check it out: https://bit.ly/3ayoZIT

Tue, 07 Jun 2022 - 51min - 499 - FLAVOR TEXT: Fire Emblem
The Fire Emblem: two words that have been a shield, a group of weapons, and a song. Legendary heroes and dragons being revived to start and/or end a war? This series has it all. And before you ask, yes there are child soldiers. Feast your eyes on this full album of uniquely named characters that aren't just our favorite Smash Bros characters: https://imgur.com/a/kvMK0XT.

Tue, 31 May 2022 - 2h 27min - 498 - Ep. 100: The Real Debate Was the This We Made Along the Way
Well here we are folks, four years later we stand at the precipice of our 100th episode! Whether you've been with us since the beginning or you hopped on the train somewhere along the way, we wouldn't have made it this far without you. To thank you for your support, we've put together this centennial special of insanity. The proverbial rulebook has been thrown out the proverbial window in favor of a brain-meltingly meta episode where we ask each other, "What is the best possible 'Debate This!' episode?"
Is it your first time listening to our podcast? Cool! I'm glad you're here and I like you a little more than everyone else. That said, this may not be the best episode to start with because it's pretty self-referential. May I suggest going back a week and checking out Ep 99: Who Puppets the Muppets? It pairs well with a boxed white zinfandel.

Tue, 17 May 2022 - 54min - 497 - FLAVOR TEXT: Flashpoint
Seems like everything is time travel this or alternate universe that, right? Well, this episode is no exception because today we're diving into the 2011 DC storyline Flashpoint! Join us as we discuss the universe-changing miniseries that DC used to launch their New 52 storylines. Come explore an alternate reality where Thomas and Martha Wayne are alive, Superman never became a hero, and Reverse Flash torments Barry Allen...okay that third one isn't different, but you get the point.

Tue, 10 May 2022 - 1h 16min - 496 - Ep. 99: Who Puppets the Muppets?
Have you put chocolate in your peanut butter lately? Well we here at DT!HQ want to make sure you've gotten your regular dose of mashup content! The buzzwords of the week are "Comic Book Movies" and "Muppets." So what comic arc would make the best Muppets movie? Only time and 75 minutes of nostalgic vocal impressions will tell! Wildly enough, Matt has never seen a Muppets, so he opted to go for something familiar. Todd knows the quick way to success is through the toy market and he leans into it. Andrew, on the other hand, is fighting Reaganomics?

Tue, 03 May 2022 - 1h 03min - 495 - Ep. 98: Wario's Pro-Union Purple Pimpmobile
It sure feels weird to release an episode about summer road trips on a day after it snows, but we don't control the weather! Today we're pivoting DT!HQ into a AAA as we describe some video game-related TripTiks. Our goal: to plan a family vacation. Our rules: it's got to be related to Mario Kart or whatever. This week we ask the question, "Which Mario Kart track would make the best family road trip?"
Kyle may or may not be arguing for a fun family romp to the shores (shoals?) of Lake Erie. Andrew pitches a track very reminiscent of 2000s Nickelodeon prize packs. Todd has only really played one Mario Kart game, let's see how it works out for him.

Tue, 19 Apr 2022 - 54min - 494 - FLAVOR TEXT: V for Vendetta
Verily, we venture into a vast volume of the verifiably valued graphic novel version of V for Vendetta by Alan Moore in the very early 80's. Vacate your vainglorious valor as we vanquish the veneer of vacillation with verbose veracity...also Kyle does a really good job of summarizing this storyline, you just have to get past the moment he says "Earballs."
TRIGGER WARNING: V for Vendetta addresses all sorts of terrible things associated with a fascist state including, but not limited to: sexual assault, racism, antisemitism, homophobia, and more. Please be mindful of this if you wish to join us for our Flavor Text today.

Tue, 12 Apr 2022 - 1h 24min - 493 - Ep. 97: What Dat Dogman Do? (ft. Giovanni Colantonio)
It's Spring in the midwest which means it's time to break out the grill and throw a backyard BBQ on the days it doesn't snow or rain! We love our low 60's cornhole parties here in Ohio, but sometimes an invitation to a good, old-fashioned cookout requires a little more. Sometimes, it requires a plus one. Well today we're bringing a ringer to our barbeques by answering one of the dumbest questions we've ever asked, "What Elden Ring boss should you invite to a barbeque?"
As we enter our post-modern phase here at DT!HQ, Matt is here with a frisbee. Kyle violates the sacred rule by turning his plus one into a plus two. Todd tried to trick us all into being part of an intervention for his new friend who steals stars. If all of those sentences sound disconnected, you're right. Matt, Kyle and Todd have never played Elden Ring, so we had to call in a guest this week and Giovanni Colantonio answered the call!

Tue, 05 Apr 2022 - 1h 16min - 492 - Ep. 96: Three Years Older and a Whole Lot Worse
The year was 2018 and a small, independent podcast called Debate This! decided to reboot some not-so-famous Spider-Man villains from the "silly sixties." Today, 39 whole months later, that same small, independent podcast will dare to do it again. We may never best the likes of Paste Pot Pete, but we'll certainly aim higher than a "Living Vampire."
Andrew brings us back to the wild world of animal-themed baddies this week as he leads us Down Under. Kyle combines The Fast and the Furious with the MCU in the mashup we've wanted for years. Matt brought a mobster with a big dumb forehead, and that's pretty much it. Come take a ride with us as we try to ride that sweet Morbius SEO wave as we decide which classic Spidey Villain deserves a Leto-esque reboot.

Tue, 29 Mar 2022 - 1h 04min - 491 - Avenge This! FEED DROP: The Batman
Something a little different for you this week! "The Ploose is Loose!" will soon be transitioning into "Avenge This!" This will more or less be the same show, except we're going to open up to comic book properties outside of the MCU (and hopefully will stop being asked about The Mandalorian). We wanted to share this announcement on the Debate This! feed because we know you care about and follow along with every single thing we do.
Stay tuned for more changes, and enjoy this taste of the new show where Todd is joined by Matt to break down Matt Reeves' "The Batman."
Tue, 15 Mar 2022 - 1h 09min - 490 - FLAVOR TEXT: Demon Slayer
In a stunning turn of events, today's FLAVOR TEXT involves children fighting monsters, dealing with all sorts of trauma, and is also an anime! Join us as Andrew walks us through the 26 episode arc of Demon Slayer on Netflix! We've got a story of a brother protecting his sister, a horrifying series of spider monsters, and half a dozen surrogate fathers. Stick around as we go over one of the best animes that 3/4 of our team had never heard of. There's a special treat for listeners at the 96 minute mark with Matt yells at his cat.
Per usual, we've got an Imgur link for you to follow along with: https://imgur.com/a/a8b4kOK.
