Advertise on podcast: Debate This!

While we here at Debate This! are not the biggest fans of cops, we are HUGE fans of dusty, old men investigating crime in rural towns. So, imagine our surprise when Jimmy Gunz came to the office and told us he's got a sick, new series starring Kyle Chandler investigating crimes in a small, Nebraska town? AND, he buried the lede by leaving out this just so happens to be a Green Lantern series that doesn't even reference The Blackest Night. Yeah, so Lanterns is real good. It's fun, it's interesting, and it feels so much different than what's been on Disney+ lately. You should give it a watch. We did.

Let's begin this FLAVOR TEXT with a question: What distinguishes a free man from a slave? Enderal: Forgotten Stories is a total conversion mod of everyone's favorite ubiquitously-available demigod simulator, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.  But, Enderal is not Skyrim. There's no sweetrolls or Fus-Ro-Dah-ing or NPCs directing you to the Cloud District. Enderal is a completely original, standalone RPG set in the dark fantasy world of Vyn. Where Skyrim exists to make you feel like a dragon-slaying superhero, Enderal exists to force the player to question their reality and what it means to be the "Chosen One".  Follow along with our image gallery here: https://imgur.com/a/ORiR7Ul  Special thanks to Emissary of #buttthwompnation, "@BaconBitBehemoth" who commissioned this episode!

The year was 2018 and four cis, white guys said, "You know what this world needs? Another podcast!" And here we are, 8 years and 200 episodes later. Whether you've been with us since the beginning, found your way here through a FLAVOR TEXT, or are listening to your first episode of DT! right now, thank you! None of us thought we'd still be doing this, but hot dog, we're glad we are. So take a moment to reflect with us as we ask ourselves, "Which DT! episode deserves a re-litagation?" Kyle is setting us up to make people mad. Matt is setting us up to make people learn. Todd is setting us up to do the exact same thing a second time. Recommended Reading Debate This!

The DT! crew braved the home of the Braves for a second year in a row at the Southern Fried Gaming Expo in Atlanta, GA. This time, we put our polygonal pedals to the medal and asked, what modern streaming series could live on as an early 00s-era kart racer? Andrew re-treads all too familiar ground with The Last Of Us, Kyle plays with short term memory less with Severance, and Todd takes advantage of a captive audience to talk at us about The Boys.

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!  Follow along with this weeks Imgur Gallery here: https://imgur.com/a/R25aAZW Todd also made a playlist he has called Deltarune Bangers, so here's that as well I guess: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4tQ93LujdbrLJIBkEdscNZ?si=UIzf4QtTSSeS1kuZeLGDvw  This week's FT! was commissioned by our patron @squirrelmancer!

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.

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.  The title of this week's episode was selected by our Patrons in our Discord Community!

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! *This episode was originally released in April of 2021.

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.

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. This week's FT! was commissioned by our patron Zhakhix!

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.
