Ep. 24: I'm Sensitive to the Night's Watch, BUT May 10, 2017

Show notes

The podcast returns from a mini-break! It's the finale for Benjen as we know him, but he goes out in style. First, he talks Jon down from his claims of being ready for a ranging, educating him on the Night's Watch code. Then, he knocks some sense into Tyrion for not taking the Watch seriously enough before trudging off into the snowy plot-filled night beyond the Wall. Godspeed, my man.

Ep. 23: WAR STORIES Apr 27, 2017

Show notes

In the words of Robert Baratheon, "WE'RE TELLING WAR STORIES." Robert, Jaime, and the newly-introduced Ser Barristan Selmy talk about their first kills, and Andrew and Manu delve into how their tales reflect their personal histories. Then Viserys oversteps his boundaries on the Dothraki Sea, resulting in him getting owned. Normal day.

HBO recently released photos from season 7 too, so we briefly touched on them.

Ep. 22: Starkfeld Apr 19, 2017

Show notes

Ned receives news of Bran's recovery and goes to talk about it with Catelyn, who just arrived in King's Landing. Minor shenanigans ensue! The Lannisters have also learned of Bran's fate too, so they fret about it. SERENITY NOW.

Ep. 21: Grenn and Bear It Apr 11, 2017

Show notes

Andrew and Manu chill at the Wall with Jon Snow, Tyrion, and company. We get our introductions to Jeor Mormont, Pyp, Grenn, and Alliser Thorne's "BASTUHD" yell. It's truly a wonderful time. Well, maybe not for Jon, but as Tyrion says, he's just being dramatic.

Show notes

Andrew and Manu continue with "Lord Snow" as Bran hears ancient Westeros stories from Old Nan and grumbles to Robb about his legs. Meanwhile, Catelyn Stark and Rodrik Cassel arrive in King's Landing but both Littlefinger and Varys know that they suck at being sneaky. Drama ensues.

So ready for some lore? Let's go.

Ep. 18: The Rat's Nest Mar 29, 2017

Show notes

Andrew and Manu officially reach episode 3, "Lord Snow," where Ned Stark and company arrive in King's Landing, or as Ned previously referred to it, "that rat's nest they call a capital." Ned has to endure some of his least favorite parts of the rat's nest immediately, as Jaime Lannister gives him shit and he meets the Small Council, allowing the audience to be introduced to Petyr Baelish, Varys, Renly Baratheon, and Maester Pycelle. (At least Ned likes Renly.) Anyway, there are a lot of mini-character profiles in here, so away we go.

Ep. 17: I'LL SEE YOU IN COURT Mar 23, 2017

Show notes

It's the finale of "The Kingsroad!" Andrew and Manu watch as everything goes up in smoke, resulting in the deaths of Arya's butcher boy friend Mycah and Sansa's direwolf Lady, not to mention the forced disappearance of Arya's direwolf Nymeria. Oh, and Joffrey got his hand maimed or some crap. Anyway, there's a lot to delve into here, so away we go. TO KING ROBERT'S COURT!

Ep. 16: House of Payne Mar 17, 2017

Show notes

Andrew and Manu begin to wind down "the Kingsroad" with the last set of scenes before the frantic Arya-filled finale. Dany makes the best of her situation by learning to sex from Doreah and puts the lessons to use, while Sansa meets Ilyn Payne & Sandor Clegane (#SanSan is also born, to our mild dismay). There's plenty to explore with those two unique characters, so enjoy!

Ep. 15: CSI: Winterfell Mar 14, 2017

Show notes

CATELYN STARK IS ON THE CRIME SCENE.

Andrew and Manu delve into the Stark matriarch's investigations over how Bran fell from the tower in Winterfell, as she meets with a council and decides to ride south. This includes the scenes where Robb tries to help his mother get her shit together, and an assassin tries to kill Bran in his sleep before Catelyn and the direwolf Summer fight him off. Fun times?
