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!

Welcome back Nerds! The DT! Boys kick off Phase 5 of the MCU with a trip to the Quantum Realm to discuss Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, the direction the MCU is headed, and what MODOK and Hank Hill have in common.

Spoilers abound in this episode, so come back after you've seen the movie.

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!

Special thanks to Jennasis for joining us on Debate This! today! You should check out Jennasis's stuff! She's one half of two different podcasts. One is called Two Girls, One Ship and it breaks down romance in video games. The other is the Cyberpunk Lorecast and I don't feel like I need to explain to you what that is.

Unlike most trilogies, this one nails it. Magic: the Gathering is a deep well of rich stories and gripping lore, so we're back at it again.

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.

Look, everyone knows if you don't get at least 1 Trillion downloads on your Season 6 Premier 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 three 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!

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 and 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.
