In the early 2000s, publishers everywhere were looking for their slice of the YA literature pie. Some folks were writing about magical schools, others were writing about dragons, but 9(ish) people were coming together to write something different. That "something different" was called 'Warriors' and it was different because it was about cats.

Clean your pelt and feed your kittypets as we head Into The Wild and cover Erin Hunter's Warriors series. There's stray cats, there's evil cats, there's wet cats, there's more cat names than your brain has room for.
Special thanks to @squirrelmancer for commissioning today’s episode. If you want to ask Star Clan for a FLAVOR TEXT of your own, visit patreon.com/debatethiscast.

It's been a big summer for fans of Detective Comics. James Gunn and his 2025 Superman movie has restarted the DC Comics cinematic universe and it's really good this time, we promise! Well, the execs over at Warner Bros. reached out to the folks at DT!HQ and asked for our help. They want to capitalize on their IP's new popularity by doing what every good IP holder has done. That's right, they want to make an always-online, battlepass-forward hero shooter! That's right, we're doing DC Rivals.

Andrew is taking us through the cinematic sins of DC's past. Kyle is taking us to a world of battles that definitely isn't called Battle World. Todd is doing DC Champions, a thing no one has ever done.

Today we live up to our promise. Today, we talk about a DC movie!

Superman (2025) is the movie of the summer and it may just be the movie of our hearts. We've given you more than a month to watch David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan fall in love, so here's all of our thoughts on James Gunn's newest superhero flick.

Join this team as we look at another iconic team in this Teen Titans FLAVOR TEXT, as we go through the cartoon that features an evil school of evil, a father from Hell (literally) and a child-grooming assassin with no real motive. You know, stuff we all dealt with as teens.

You know what this world doesn't have enough of? Dive bar cover bands! Nothing can bring a group together like cheap beer, limp nachos, and 5 sweaty guys doing their best Journey impression. So, in the spirit of bringing the world together, we're recruiting members to form a house band for our new dive bar. But these aren't just your dad's buddies from the garage, no these are bonafide musicians. Of course, they're all musicians from video games, but that's beside the point.

Todd is doing polka. Matt is doing butt rock. Kyle is doing...Weezer?

We've got a full stack of hosts this week as the gang gets back together triumphantly to talk about Marvel TV's latest and greatest entry, Ironheart!

Because it kind of came and went and got buried under the Supermans and Fantastics 4 of the world, you might not have caught this one. And, we're here to say you definitely should! Ironheart was a really special hidden gem among MCU Phase 5, and we want to talk at you about it.

It's dangerous to go alone--take this incredibly convoluted timeline that attempts to wrap together several independent stories into one shared universe! That's right kids, 8 years in the making it's finally time for a FLAVOR TEXT about the one, the only, the Legend of Zelda!

Join us on a hero's journey through time, winds, and sepia-toned twilight as we break down each mainline entry to this iconic series, and wrap with the even more iconic "official timeline" which attempts to pull in each game into one modular timeline...except Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, idk.

Special thanks to "Kyle" (a different one, don't worry) for commissioning today's episode! If you want to fund your own proverbial journey for the Triforce, all it takes is a visit to patreon.com/debatethiscast and a one-time payment of $60.
