On a particularly prurient installment of Disinformed, Jon introduces us to the Dragon family proper... in ways that you may or may not be prepared for. The goal is for the cohosts to listen to reviews of Bad Dragon products, as well as reviews of the first season of House of the Dragon and try to determine which is which. The answers, as Jon says, may surprise you.

On Monday's emotionally-stunted installment of Disinformed, Michael dips his toes is the turbulent waters of the Manosphere by discussing the origin and myriad machinations of the InCel Movement. Are you ready for a tanker-truck full of misogynist attitudes, double-standards, and insanity the likes of which we've previously never seen? Duck and cover, friends... it's going to get weird in here for a while.
