6: Red Rising - This Better Be Worth It

Lore Actually is a podcast for people who think too much about fiction and don’t want to stop.

We talk about characters, relationships, and story choices: the ones that make sense, the ones that don’t, and the ones we keep thinking about long after we’re done watching or reading. Sometimes we analyze, sometimes we just talk it out.

It’s not that serious.
It’s also very much that deep.
