In Episode Ten of True Believers, Andrew and Alana briefly walk into the world of "Fangs" by Sarah Anderson, and somehow devolve into a highly contentious quiz to determine which of them is chrs's REAL best friend.NOTES:Alana is the friend mentioned at the end of the show notes of Episode Five: Back to the Future State.The “furry” thing we keep referencing is actually not that bad. He's taking a nap in wolf form and starts wagging his tail when he opens his eye and sees that she's changing in front of him.This was not a tinder date. They just met in a bar because Jimmy heard Elsie say that she was a dog person.The True Blood thing was actually an entirely different white guy named Andrew that I went to school with. Apologies to Andrew, my co-host.https://www.instagram.com/p/pB58KrJXxD/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linkIt's probably important to mention that Kirsten Dunst and Brad Pitt don't kiss romantically in “Interview With the Vampire”Campana is actually the Spanish word for Bell.Halle Berry is in the original X-Men trilogy, Michelle Pfieffer is in Ant-Man and The Wasp, Michael Keaton is in Spider-Man: Homecoming, and Ben Affleck is in Daredevil.The thing that makes the Constantine thing debatable is that he's a member of the Justice League. The THIRD paragraph on Alan Moore's wikipedia page starts off with “Moore is an occultist, ceremonial magician, and anarchist” - honestly wtf????Apparently Taylor Lautner has Dutch, French, and German ancestry, and has stated that he has "distant" Native American ancestry (specifically Odawa and Potawatomi, both Anishinaabe peoples) through his mother.Andrew meant to say that DC Comics Bombshells takes place in the 1940s, not the 1980s.Music: “Onion March” by Shane Ivers - www.silvermansound.com

I won't play an Asian guy. But I will play a guy who plays an Asian guy.” and he is the son of a Lebanese immigrant (I don't remember if I said that I didn't know what his ethnicity was, but, bases covered).Annette Bening absolutely DOES play Mar-Vell in Captain Marvel, and she's the avatar of the Kree Supreme Intelligence.“The Mystery of Dr. Fu-Manchu” (the first book in Sax Rohmer's series) was published in 1913.

There's no such thing as a graduation mum. https://www.countryliving.com/life/g28035883/homecoming-mums-tradition-ideas/What was said about Slade is not without merit, and apparently it is a hot debate.The “Teen Titans Go!” episode referenced is called “Two Parter” and it's episode 3x17“Once An Accident, Twice A Coincidence, Three Times A Pattern” - Alan Weiss, PhD.If you wanted to read more about Raven, you can find her in DC Special: Raven (2008) Raven (2016-2017), and Raven: Daughter of Darkness(2018-2019)Music: “The Paladin's Underworld” by Shane Ivers - www.silvermansound.com
In this episode, Andrew + chrs step back into DC Nation's Future State to recommend and review their favorite serieses. ig: @truebelieverspodtwitter: @truebelieverspfacebook: @truebelieverspod (facebook.com/truebelieverspod)email: 1truebelieverspod@gmail.comNOTES: Fun fact: chrs doesn't even enjoy the movie “Back to the Future”Yara Flor's design is inspired by an indigenous Brazilian model named Suyane MoreiraThe concept that chrs was thinking of when she was struggling to define Yara Flor's story was a parable. A parable is a story used to illustrate a moral or spiritual lesson, and they're very common in most theologies.It's actually Brainiac's skull ship where Diana encounters The Spectre. The Spectre is...something like the DC Comics version of Ghost Rider. You'd have to look it up. I'm not wrong, but I'm also not making an effort to be right. Their interplanetary group is called the United Planets. Not the Federation. Before Krypton exploded, the Bottle City of Kandor was captured and miniaturized by Brainiac. After defeating him, Superman brought the city to his Fortress of Solitude and spent many years attempting to return it to the normal size. Because the people of Kandor are alive and thriving, Superman has never actually been the last son of Krypton.The space/time ocean was called the Confluence. A confluence is the joining of two rivers.chrs did in fact accidentally make a Moana reference. The fish were called the Glimmerfish.The Aquaman: The Beginning miniseries starts on 9/21 and Brandon Thomas also wrote FS: AquamanBobo T. Chimpanzee is also known as Detective Chimp. Similarly to Throg and Spectre? You better use google.Andrew was wrong. It's actually “Gone, gone, the Simian, arise the demon Etrigan.”The Doctor Fate of Future State is Khalid NassourMongol 2 actually said that Superman wouldn't be able to save the people next to him, not that he wouldn't be saved.We both said "Mr. Terrific" but we both MEANT "Mister Miracle" ...sorry, Scott Free.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOyE_l80D4YMikel Janín is pronounced like Mik-ell Yah-neen.My friend legitimately has somewhat of a Jesus fetish or, rather, has been known to be attracted to Jesus Christ in multiple forms of media. Talk about a holy roller.Music: “Big Boi Pants” by Shane Ivers - www.silvermansound.com
Following our inadvertent theme of multiversal mixup, in this off the rails episode Andrew and chrs recap and review the mad merry-go-round movie that is Teen Titans Go! vs Teen Titans.Notes:We apologize for the choppy sound editing towards the end of the episode. Andrew was up editing the episode at two in the morning because of work obligations.Our bad.We accidentally said episode 3 at the beginning. This is episode 4. “Avengers: Endgame'' released in April of 2019 and “Teen Titans Go! vs Teen Titans” premiered at SDCC in July of 2019, but the digital release was in September of 2019.Lil Yatchy did write a significant portion of “Act Up” by City Girls after saying “no homo'' before going into the booth.The literal definition of Satire is “the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues.”Teen Titans premiered in July of 2003 and the final episode, "Things Change," premiered in January of 2006, followed by the movie “Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo,” premiering September the same year.There's a 55-issue comic book called “Teen Titans Go!” based on the 2003 animated series and their continuity that's mostly collected in six trade paperbacks.The “Nevermore” episode indirectly references the poem “The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe. Ironically, the word ‘nevermore' is a prophetic warning in the poem.In “Nevermore” Cyborg actually counsels against Beast Boy invading Raven's room. Minding his black-owned business. We stan.The alternate aspects of Raven are her “emoticlones” that serve as a physical manifestation of her true feelings.“Tiny Titans'' was a two-time Eisner Award winning series featuring alternate versions of DC Comics characters in an elementary school environment. The initial series ran for 50-issues from February of 2008 to March of 2012, and from 2014-2015, the series revived with a 6-issue miniseries - “Tiny Titans: Return to the Tree House”“Auld Acquaintance” is the 26th episode of Young Justice, and the first season's finale. The only Justice League member who doesn't get their shit rocked by the JV is Wonder Woman.I couldn't be bothered to look up the H.I.V.E. episode we were referencing, but it's interesting that their stupid battle catchphrases seem to parody Robin's “Titans, GO!”When Raven mentions facing her demons, she's directly referencing season 4 of Teen Titans.Santa Claus actually appears many times in Teen Titans Go! (largely as an antagonist) in the episodes “Second Christmas”, “The True Meaning of Christmas”, “The Teen Titans Go Easter Holiday Classic”, “Who's Laughing Now”, “Halloween v Christmas”, “Teen Titans Save Christmas”, and “The Streak”The stupid ‘Battle Ready Armor' joke is a reference to the ubiquitous armor worn by the teen ninjas in “Codename: Kids Next Door”Cyborg is the one who obtains the Worlogog after it goes flying out of Megan's hands, which is understandable - before he was cybernetically enhanced and became a superhero, he was a promising young athlete.Teen Titans Go! Cyborg has the nerve to have actually yelled out “Cyborg Cycle, Activate Alpha Maneuver 42 Delta!” without having agreed on any codewords ahead of time.Because of their mythological association with misfortune and misery, a group of ravens is called An Unkindness.

In this mischievous episode, Andrew and chrs sort through six episodes of multiversal madness with a roguish recap and review of the Disney+ Loki show.Follow us on instagram @truebelieverspod, on twitter @truebelieversp (yes, the name was too long), and on facebook @truebelieverspod (facebook.com/truebelieverspod)If you want to speak to us directly, feel free to DM us on social media or email us at 1truebelieverspod@gmail.comNotes: The actress who plays Hunter B-15 is the gorgeous Oluwunmi “Wunmi” Mosakuchrs definitely knows how to pronounce Mjölnir, she was just joking.Sylvie Laufeydottir is based on two characters - Lady Loki (Loki taking a female form after being reincarnated post-Ragnarök) and Sylvie Lushton (a human girl enchanted by Loki to believe she was an Asgardian who styled herself after the first Enchantress, Amora ("Dark Reign: Young Avengers")"Journey into Mystery" is the name of a series published by Atlas Comics and later Marvel that ran “The Mighty Thor” by Lieber, Lee, and Kirby starting in issue #83. It was renamed for it's breakout superhero star from issue #126 on, and has been revived as Journey into Mystery at least three times in the decades since.The Journey into Mystery Storyline chrs references is written by Kieron Gillen and starts with "Journey into Mystery vol. 1: Fear Itself"The Great Sphinx of Giza has a missing nose. No one knows exactly why the nose is missing, but many people believe that it was shot off with a cannonball by the French army under Napoleon Bonaparte.The Beyoncé song chrs references is called “BLACK EFFECT”.I refuse to recap Throg, Frog of Thunder. If you want to know? Google it.Alligator teeth of the lower jaw can not be seen when the jaw is closed. Crocodile teeth of the lower jaw can be seen when the jaw is closed. In crocodiles, the upper and lower jaw are about the same size. So, the upper and lower teeth interlock or interdigitate when the mouth shuts.Kid Loki, or KING Loki (as chrs would say) is the oldest variant in the Nexus, and has just never aged - that's why it's his kingdom.
