The Gods of Tits and Wine, Jim and A.Ron, are back to review each week’s episode of HBO’s House of the Dragon and your feedback.
This podcast contains spoilers for the A Song of Ice and Fire series by G.R.R. Martin, as well as potential future events for HBO’s Game of Thrones TV series. This week A.Ron discusses feedback from other book readers and adventurous television watchers, then lays out Part 1 of the latest tinfoil theory “The Mummer’s Dragons”, which will conclude next week.
Game of Thrones got of to a fantastic start to season five with episode 501, “The Wars to Come”… We discuss male member evasions, what the heck is going on with Missandei and Grey Worm, debate the Westerosi (and Essosian?) politics of foreign wars and cultural tolerance, ponder where Sansa, Jaime, and Brienne are all going, Cersei’s prophecy, and the part Tyrion has to play in “The Wars to Come”. This, as well as your feedback, and some debate on fandom’s approach to deviations from accepted canon as well as the ethics and wisdom of binging on leaked episodes. All this and more, enjoy!

Jim and A.Ron talk about their hopes, fears, and predictions for season five, as we go around Westeros and Essos recapping where our various heroes and villains are as we left them last season… We discuss improvements and changes to our coverage this year, all of our favorite characters, how Jim feels as a non-book reader about the series leap frogging the books, and much more. Next week, the spoiler section! A.Ron will host a book reader support group for those facing the trauma of having the books spoiled by the show, discuss what the hell is going on with some of the changes and alterations that have been revealed thus far in trailers and print, and preview the video enhancement to the upcoming and totally revamped SpoiLore section!
And now the end is here, as Jim and A.Ron sign off on a fantastic season of Game of Thrones with a season four extravaganza. We give our overall opinions on S4, talk about how it stacks up to previous seasons, wrap up some loose ends, do an in depth look at key differences between the books and the series in an effort to gain background information and a deeper appreciation of both, and consider listener feedback. Then A.Ron hosts a final spoiler segment, discussion previous tin foil theories as well as talking about casting and potential plot points for season five!
Jim and A.Ron go all out talking about the season 4 finale of Game of Thrones, episode 410, “The Children”. In what turned out to be a behemoth, two and a half hour extravaganza, they boys discuss the merits of mounted cavalry versus untrained foot soldiers, whether the tree cave was more LotRy or Fraggle Rocky, who had Arya’s best interests at heart, what’s worse; a punch to the nuts or a savage kick to the vagoo, and finally, just how Effed in the Bee is Westeros at the close of this season? All this, plus a ton of feedback, and A.Ron tries to talk book readers off their ledge in the spoiler section. Don’t forget, we come back next week for an epic season four wrap up cast! Have something you still need to get off your chest, send it in!
A.Ron and Jim give their instant opinions on episode 410, “The Children”, the season 4 finale of Game of Thrones.
