Episode 149 - Character Archetypes: The Lover

In this episode, the two Matts release the episode a week late again because why the hell not at this point, go on a tour at a factory where writers can get their ink in an... exotic manner, recognize the differences between one Matts' skit and the other's, and talk about the character archetype of The Lover in the next of our set of the first batch of twelve character archetypes. What makes The Lover, well, The Lover? How can they be more than the character or concepts they love? Do they necessarily have to be a love interest, or can they just be the heart of a team? Will Matt David successfully read out the name of our sponsor this week, or are we too grossed out by the product to do so? We discuss it all, while loving each other in a brotherly and platonic way, and talk about Wonder Woman, Pacific Rim, Star Wars, and Dragon Prince. Have any feedback or questions for our hosts?
