Ep. 14: "GODS, This is Country!" Mar 07, 2017

Show notes

It's a jam-packed episode of conversation, as Ned and Robert grumble to each other about the Targaryens while enjoying the Northern countryside, Dany has a tête-à-tête with her handmaidens (specifically Doreah), and Tyrion grills Jon about the Night's Watch. So Andrew and Manu have a conversation about the conversations. #meta

Ep. 13: Who IS Jon Snow? Mar 02, 2017

Show notes

Jon Snow is the star of this series of scenes for Andrew and Manu. First he says goodbye to Bran, gets torn into by Catelyn (as per ushe), and then says his farewells to Robb and Ned. He tried to find out who his mom is, but then Ned makes a promise he can't keep. We go over these scenes, Cat's conflict around Jon's mere presence at Winterfell, and a certain old theory about Jon's mother.

Ep. 10: Defenestration Feb 23, 2017

Show notes

It's a whirlwind first episode finale for Andrew and Manu, as Daenerys marries Khal Drogo (much to her chagrin), we meet the fabulous Jorah Mormont, Dany gets some sweet dragon egg presents, a super-awkward rape scene happens, and Bran is thrown out the window after witnessing #Twincest. Got all that? There are some great subtle things going on here, so check it out.

Ep. 9: The Feast Feb 20, 2017

Show notes

Andrew and Manu return to the first episode of Game of Thrones in time for the hottest party the North has seen in ages. It's got everything--Robert cheating on his wife, Arya shenanigans, loner bastards, Cersei asking about periods, and TV's Dan Cortese (okay maybe not the last one). Then Lysa Arryn has to be a buzzkill with a scary note. Lame.

Ep. 8: I've Been Wading 'Cross the Narrow Sea Feb 10, 2017

Show notes

In the first of the podcast episodes across the Narrow Sea in Pentos, Andrew and Manu meet Daenerys Targaryen and her, uh, troubled brother Viserys. She's being married to Khal Drogo, the leader of the Dothraki, against her will. We go into Targaryen lore, the background of their benefactor (Illyrio Mopatis), and touch a little bit on Dothraki culture. Viserys has no idea what he's getting into.

Ep. 7: Cryptic Messages Feb 07, 2017

Show notes

It's a big episode, as Manu and Andrew talk about King Robert's royal party arriving in Winterfell. So many dead people are here! It's a little creepy in hindsight, and that's not even getting into the fact that future dead folks Robert and Ned decide to hang out in the crypts for a little while and talk about two more dead people: Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen. The crypt is a fascinating place though, so there's plenty to discuss there, and the same goes for the Lannisters' interaction.

Enjoy!

Show notes

The Seven Kingdoms have been rocked by the Hand of the King's death! Andrew and Manu talk about various characters' reactions to both this news and the fact that the king is going to Winterfell to find a new Hand (just don't ask future Jaime for one #heyo). They're gonna have a grand ol' hootenanny. Join us!

Ep. 5: Dire News and Direwolves Jan 30, 2017

Show notes

Andrew and Manu catch up with the Stark families' brief expedition away from Winterfell, where Ned Stark beheads a Night's Watch deserter, but not before he gives him a White Walker warning. Then the Stark kiddos get a bunch of direwolves pups, though they also encounter some more ominous signs. Lots to go through in just a few minutes, but join us!
