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. All of our stuff: https://cookingwithspices.carrd.co/ Musical Intro/Outro by Apogio: https://composerapogio.com Graphics by galestormKitsun: https://twitter.com/galestormKitsun
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.
Of course check out our guest host LizardxLizard and her amazing artwork and...
It's Galentine's day, and what better way to celebrate than to bring in the ladies to talk about everyone's favorite brooding vampire couple. No, not Angel and Buffy the other one.
The coven of Lizzy, Sammi, Sayali, and Fran chronicle what happens when a Mormon invents vampire lore that inadvertently changes the landscape of literature for all time. Hang in there as the girls TwiHard not to cringe constantly(Lizzy wrote that).
As a...
This is a big one folks, so remember your training because we are going to sync some levels with you. What happens when you mix the Bible with anime? No, not the manga version of the Bible, though we are not too far off.
Loremaster Mischka has descended from his high place of existence to deliver unto us that forbidden fruit of knowledge. Be warned, for the price of knowledge (lore about giant robots) is great and terrible (you mus...
Listen you're gonna want to get in on the ground floor on this one. It's a sure shot, we bought a bunch of little plastic men and then we glued them together and painted them. We bought a lot of them. Then we do a podcast about the lore of the little world these little men live in, get all invested and such. Easy right? Now you buy these little men from us and as a bonus you can sell the little men to other people after they listen...
We found this weird DVD stashed in the back of our dad's old El Camino, and unlike everything else we find back there this is something we can show you. Join us now as we travel to a world that only a bunch of 80's Canadians could dream up as we guide you through the weird and totally cohesive world of the cult rock musical Rock & Rule.
Does it have an actual script? No, but neither do we so we give it a lot of credit.
Check ou...
If we all could afford to make a movie about our favorite OC then the world would be a better place. In the real world only Vin Diesel gets to take a stab at it. We are covering the Riddickulous series that spans one of the worst movies to one of the best video games.
Goggle up and get ready to outrun the sun cause we have a need for heehees.
Long live the King, a literal titan of media that has been stomping around for a lifetime is bound to have some missteps. The problem is when you are as big as a building, a misstep destroys an office building. Generally, if your monster movie is boring then something has gone wrong. We smash our way through the long line of successors to the most iconic Kaiju there ever was — the Good, the Bad, and the 1998 American one.
We are just trying to Kombat our own Mortality, but now we had to dig in to this mess of a series. Usually reboots are supposed to make the lore simple, but they forgot to get rid of the old stuff and now we need to go 3 full rounds of punishing story. The Moral of this Kontent is never dive too deep into fighting game lore.

It's time to finish the fight...I mean rip and tear until it is done. There's a lot of unanswered questions, and we were OK with that, but they decided to answer those questions anyway. Our final dive into the lore of the latest DOOM installments is a road to madness, but fortunately special guest Colin stays long enough to be our shining knight against the horde of silly fantasy names.
Hello listener, you've never appreciated having a silent 2 hours during a spooky Halloween night. In this Halloween Special episode you will find guest hosts Sammi and Erik who have devised a way to convey the Saw lore into one handy episode. You must decide if this lore makes sense or if it is goofy silly time.
Choose wisely, for if you answer incorrectly we will release all the spiders that we hid in your headphones and there wil...
One of the most iconic video game series to have ever existed began with just some random guy in a green suit killing waves of enemies with laser guns. And before Halo there was DOOM.
In this one, the gang recruits the help of Colin, Loremaster of angels and demons, to cover the full DOOM story from early days with the Doomguy to being played in a movie by...*checks notes* Judge Dredd from the 2012 remake movie Dredd? Enjoy all the...
We are getting some spooky season appropriate episodes ready, so in the mean time enjoy the scariest thing we could think of, UNRELEASED CONTENT.
But in all honesty we have some funny goofs and gaffs that we didn't really have any use for, but now we have finally have a full episode's worth. Enjoy some outtakes, bonus lore, and silly non sequiturs.
Starring some lovely clips by none other than the witty and talented LizardxLizard: ...
There can be only 5 movies, two animated series, a live action TV series, several graphic novels, and an upcoming reboot. Learn the essentials of the saga everyone knows a little bit about but no one knows all of, as that knowledge is The Prize. There's only so much we can do in 2 hours but we can Quicken your knowledge of everyone's favorite Scotsman(?) and Spaniard(?).
Sean Connery resurrects in the second movie. We don't even ...
Did you know that the Varia suit is probably just a mistranslation of the English word Barrier, so Samus' suit was supposed to be called the Barrier Suit? Anyway that's one of the fun bits of trivia we could have done if we had more time but we didn't because we had to talk about how dumb Other M is.
Today it's about the genre book that spawned 1000 games all with the same niche. If it seems like a crazy fever dream, that's because originally it was one. Brace yourselves for the drop cause this one gets a little darker than Fortnite may make it seem.
Again we are joined by special guest and Fortnite expert LizardxLizard: https://lizardxlizard.carrd.co/
Not every episode has to be about big flashy heroes and villains. Sometimes you just need a silly little guy. Like, most of the time all the listeners want is just a fun, silly, tiny creature that runs around and does things. Wouldn't it be nice if those silly little guys were running around for real? I'd like that.
The explosive and quite honestly confusing conclusion to the manga that launched a million references. The end is like a choose your own adventure except instead of adventure it's existential dread.
At the very heart of anime lies one root, the genesis of myriad inspirations and references, the origin of a new tone of story telling. We pick apart this pillar of media and analyze its deep messaging, it's dark tones, and we make a bunch of jokes about drugs and bombs and stuff.
In this meta episode we talk about the lore of a show that talks over other shows. Remember if something doesn't make sense, it's just a show. You should really just relax.

Today we are talking about a lazy slacker who can't seem to get his life together. We are also talking about the critically acclaimed graphic novel Scott Pilgrim. Maybe it's just our millennial talking but we think this one rocks.
