The Last of the Starks (804) Aug 03, 2022

Show notes

Steve and Anthony discuss errant Starbucks coffee cups and misguided appeals to Cersei's better nature. But what could be overlooked in this episode is a stunning and compelling irony: Sansa betrays Jon in order to elevate him. It's a brilliant plot flourish that only Game of Thrones can pull off.
