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.

Ep. 187: Trouble in Your Third Place

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.

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. Imgur gallery: https://imgur.com/a/debate-this-flavor-text-horus-heresy-j2sIgfr This month's FLAVOR TEXT was commissioned by...nobody! This was all from Andrew's brain.

Ep. 186: All Vegetables Go To Jail

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.
