Agree or disagree with us? Hit us up - @dearlydebated on twitter or email us at dearlydebated@gmail.com
We talk with THE Liam Maxwell about THE Batman movie (right after it came out, then something happened, and now we're publishing the episode). Liam is starstruck, Greg drives the train, and Nathanael went on a date?!?!

We're flip-floppin like we're John Kerry doing the worm on a beach, talking about shows and movies we changed our minds about! Greg kills Han Solo, Ashley bangs two coconuts together, Jason experiences the J. Jonah Jameson choir, and Nathanael makes band related innuendos!
We're looking at "guilty pleasures", for which we feel no shame whatsoever! Ashley is the phantom of the podcast, and Greg and Nathanael have a silly sing-along!
Love is in the air (don't worry, we're wearing masks) as we discuss rom-coms! Ashley boots up AOL, Greg ain't afraid of no Summer, and Nathanael escapes the Pit of Despair!
The last podcast we recorded in 2020 is here, right on (some arbitrary) schedule! Appropriately enough, we're talking about terrible endings! Greg is gone, girl, Ashley is really sweary, and Nathanael was probably dead the whole time!
Halloween came late last year (or early this year), thanks Rona! Ashley, Nathanael, and Special Guest Sarah "Hank" Henry discuss 5 horror films! Ashley came for you, Sarah will bounce back in no time, and Nathanael blames this whole thing on you!
We're talking about the most famous arachnid-themed superhero! Gregsaw is readyyyyyyyyy, Jason wants pictures of that webbed menace, Nathanael sues OSHA for electric-eel related incidents, and special guest Damion Knotts merely adopted the symbiote!
(note: there is a very loud game of pinochle occurring next to our recording room we apologize for the background noise) INCEPTION NOISES Greg and Nathanael will let you finish, but Christopher Nolan is one of the hottest directors of ALL TIME! We're looking at all his movies in chronological order and musing on his strengths and weaknesses. Nathanael forgets the word 'orientation' and sdrawkcab gnikaeps si gerG!
Join the howling dirge of the nerd lords as we lament shows that were canceled before their time. Nathanael is a damn dirty ape, Ashley took the sky from me, and Jason finally gets the sitch.
We get real angry in this one. We're talking about shows that got so bad we up and quit. Greg is a smoke monster, Ashley hid money in the banana stand, and Nathanael lemonades.

This episode we're talking about the yang to a hero's yin: Bad guys! Greg is a pathway to powers some might consider...unnatural, Jason just wants to watch the world burn, and Nathanael dusts off the volcano fortress!
We're talking about arguably the most popular superhero of all time: THE BATMAN! Nathanael is the night, Greg reveals his secret identity, and Moderator Jason adopts the dark!
Nathanael went to Pennsylvania so instead of a normal podcast we have a special session with Regular Contributor Ashley Thomas and a few clips too hot for air! [caution: widely variable audio quality in this one]
IT'S ON Y'ALL! Greg and Nathanael have had it too good for too long and newly promoted Regular Contributor Ashley Thomas is going to put them in their place, one way or another. Nathanael says 'hot take' too much, Greg executes a one in a million maneuver, and Ashley saves what she loves!
