Debate This!

March has five Tuesdays so we're blessing the DT! Main Feed with a bonus episode! Our latest premium show is called Fellowship This! AKA One Does Not Simply Record a LOTR Watchalong Podcast: There And Pod Again: An Unexpected Recording. That's right, we're doing Lord of the Rings! Before we began this venture, Matt had never seen ANY of the LOTR movies or read any of the books. Do you want to experience The Fellowship of the Ring for the first time again vicariously through the eyes of a podcaster? Great news, that's what this is! If you like this episode and want to hear the rest of the series, head over to our Patreon! You can get access to all of FT!AKAODNSRALOTRWP:TAPA:AUR as well as our other premium shows, The Office Drones and DCOMstructed, at patreon.com/debatethiscast. You've stuck with us for two years of Disney Channel holiday movies, and so now we figured it's time to shake things up. It's time to talk about one of the most quintessential Holiday movies no one in the history of podcasting has ever talked about: Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Join us for Pt 1 of this epic quest as we journey through The Fellowship of the Ring. Highlights from our discussion: - Holy crap does this movie hold up - But no really...it really holds up - Even the 2001-era effects look pretty great! - ...and even more Boomer takes like these!

The worst part about spring in the Midwest isn't the rain, it's the occasional 75-and-sunny day that sneaks in between the gray, rainy ones. Well after we received a healthy dose of vitamin D, we couldn't shake the idea of a summer vacation. For one reason or another, our travel agents encouraged us to go somewhere we'd seen in a video game. So we put our heads together and pulled out every pamphlet in the office to plan a seasonal getaway. The only question? What is the best video game tourist trap to host our summer vacation? Matt will make you get your sea legs. Kyle will make you get outdoors. Andrew will make you cut your trip short. The title of this week's episode was selected by our Patrons in our Discord Community!

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.
