A podcast where grown men yell at each other about video games and comics.

Each episode, hosts Andrew Henderson, Kyle Harper, Matt Cole, and Todd Thomas will debate meaningless topics about your favorite video games and comics, like which of Dr. Robotnik's inventions could have been a legitimate investment, or which of the Koopa Kids should be in line for the crown.

In this show, no one is right, but someone is definitely wrong.

Episode 36: You Merely Adopted Corporate Synergy, I Was Born Into It (ft Jeramy Kahle)

August 20, 2019 by Andrew Henderson in comedy, comics, podcasts, video games

LinkedIn has told us that, as Millennials, we’re always looking for the next “big thing” in our career paths. The “thing” could be a bigger paycheck, more fulfilling work, or to follow in the footsteps of an enigmatic leader with an idealistic vision. But what if, instead of trolling Talent Management Managers on social media, we instead decided to hitch our proverbial wagons to the dynamic leaders among Batman’s rogues gallery of villains? Yeah...that might not have been the right call.

Special thanks to Jeramy Kahle of Canned Air for joining us in this weird team interview process! If you like comics and pop culture (and we bet you do!), then check out their show at cannedairpodcast.com.

NERV. The Evas. Human Instrumentality. ADAM. This week’s FLAVOR TEXT dives into the twisted psyche of one of the most influential anime series of all time, Neon Genesis Evangelion!

Episode 35: The Ballad of Sad Brent

August 06, 2019 by Andrew Henderson in comedy, podcasts, video games

Before Guitar Hero taught the world about Dragonforce, before Dance Dance Revolution brought us Darude, there was only one game series defined by its licensed music. And that series is Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater. Everyone has fond memories of grinding rails and doing siiick reverse indy nosebones skating to Goldfinger’s Superman. Or how about kickflipping a 520 ollie and wallplanting while Powerman 5000 blares in the background? A 360 shove it to a benihana and Primus is playing? Are these even words? What the hell were we all thinking back then?

Episode 34: Oops! All Holy Wars

July 23, 2019 by Andrew Henderson

We’ve talked at length about many of the horrors implicated by the crazy-pants world of Pokémon. But one of the most horrifying implications is the idea that a 10-year-old child could hold the power to destroy the fabric of time and space itself literally in their pocket. These are literal gods who should be worshipped, not thrown in a box waiting to be taught Cut. So this week, our team of seasoned Poké-Theologists are presenting their bids for our new Pokémon God who isn’t Arceus...because Arceus is literally the Pokémon Christian God.

DLC EPISODE: The Antagonist Altercation (ft. David Flamm)

July 16, 2019 by Andrew Henderson

What’s up #bazinganation?! Your favorite The Big Bang Theory debate-themed podcast is back for what might be the last time! We recorded this episode days before the TBBT finale, so before we knew what actually happened we speculated on how Sheldon would finally bite the bullet. Will he be murdered for his insensitivity or just pulled back into the Gates of Hell as part of the pact he made with the demon long ago?

Thanks to David Flamm and the rest of our friends at Left Trigger Right Trigger for letting us be a part of the finale of their improvisational science-fiction audio drama, Fullmetal Bazinga. Every episode of this beautiful experiment is available now wherever you download podcasts.

SIDEBAR: Jon Favreau Is My Stepdad

July 09, 2019 by Andrew Henderson in comics, comedy, video games, podcasts

**SPOILER WARNING FOR SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME**

Todd and Andrew saw Spider-Man: Far From Home and oh my God now it’s time to geek out over it. Does Jake Gyllenhaal’s Mysterio top Keaton’s Vulture? What is the future of the MCU now that the Avengers are gone? Could J.K. Simmons dethrone Rami Malek as our new God-King? It’s very possible all of these questions have answers. It’s also very possible we just spent 35 minutes talking about the now-very-real ship of Happy & Aunt May.

Episode 33: Make America Gotta Go Fast...Again

June 25, 2019 by Andrew Henderson in comedy, comics, podcasts, video games

Oh Sonic...our very fast boy with a very complicated past. He’s been a street fighter, an Olympic athlete, a zero gravity surfboard racer, and even a knight facing off against King Arthur. We decided to give everyone’s favorite blue hedgehog yet another second chance by fixing some of Sonic’s more pained gimmicks. Our crack team of armchair-quarterbacking game designers are proposing massive overhauls to Sonic and The Secret Rings, the Werehog, and the edgy ‘dark’ version of Sonic whose power is gun-having.

FLAVOR TEXT: Magic: The Gathering (Pt. 2)

June 18, 2019 by Andrew Henderson in comedy, comics, podcasts, video games

On Part 2 of our journey through the lore of Magic: The Gathering, we cover everything after The Great Mending up to where the story stands today. Our main focus is the Gatewatch, the unlikely alliance of demi-gods that consists of an All-American quarterback, a lovestruck wizard, a goth necromancer, and one very swole cat.

The art behind Magic is still really tight! Here’s this episode’s rad image album.

Episode 32: Please Stop Trying to Domesticate My Near-Sighted Son

June 11, 2019 by Andrew Henderson in comedy, comics, video games, podcasts

Yeah, sure, your pet is your best friend because and they provide you with unrequited love and companionship, yada yada yada. But your dog would be waaay cooler if it could breathe fire. Hypothetical situations like this are what we here at Debate This! do best. And so, we’re taking some of Mario’s most iconic baddies and housebreaking them. Oh no, Chargin’ Chuck peed on the carpet again…

Episode 31: The Waaahmazing Whimsy of Wario and Waluigi

May 28, 2019 by Andrew Henderson in comedy, comics, video games

From Dinosaur Blade Runner to CG hedgehogs with real human teeth, we here at Debate This! unequivocally love when video games get adapted to other things. So this week, we’re asking what video game could be the next great cinematic masterpiece. Will it be the anime-esque adventures of Monster Hunter, the hilariously unoriginal space-pirate-ninja drama from Blood Wake, or the very smelly misadventures of Nintendo’s dirty boys Wario and Waluigi?

Debate This! is going on the road...kind of! Come see us at CORGS-Con on Saturday, June 1, at the Makoy Center in Hilliard, OH. We’ll be hanging out and giving away free merch!
