Lunchtime! Do you like the taste of liquid Ding Dongs? Jim will drink it on air. From this low-brow quandary to the high-brow conversation surrounding the pros and cons of the streaming and binge model, we’ve got a lunch that will satisfy your need for both mindless and mindful content.
A.Ron’s is feeling warm and fuzzy and Jim is feeling pretty much nothing. When you can describe a movie as “erotica for the Twilight crowd”, that is going to attract a very particular audience, and that is A.Ron apparently. As if he weren’t magical enough, Idris Elba stars as a djinn granting Tilda Swinton’s wishes. Jim and A.Ron will be back for more first run coverage for Don’t Worry Darling and Amsterdam!
Princess A.Ron and Lady of the Court Jim are awarding worthy feedback with their favor. Wondering what happens to towns when flying dragons relieve themselves over their roofs? And listen in on the very first Maester’s Corner, a new segment premiering in this episode! Join us to laugh, question, and speculate on the newly born, or ripped out, House of the Dragon.
A Daemon Targaryen character study followed by a Dany Targaryen character study.
It Saul over so Alexis and I are here one last time to give voice to the listeners as they say what they show meant to them and judge once and for all which is the better show, Breaking Bad or Better Call Saul.
Hold onto your marbles, the feedback for Westworld Season 4 is in. We’re going over The Good, The Bad and The Questions from all of YOU. We’re putting Nolan and Joy’s Westworld under the microscope and poking a few holes in the season as we continue to try to figure this show out. Is a Season 5 coming? We hope so! Until then…we’re all in the simulation, the world we know it is long gone.
A nuanced character profile on Daemon Targaryen (just based on this first episode). Stand-up comic Steve Ausburne outs himself as a dragon lover. Medievalist Natalie Goodison talks about the dangers of childbirth. Historian Iain MacInnes tells us what medieval folk did with dead bodies.
Join us as we add another Daniel Day Lewis movie to our podcast, Lincoln directed by Steven Spielberg. Lewis’s Oscar-winning performance was surrounded by a killer cast and historical accuracy. Yes, you read that right. Unlike the beloved Gladiator, Lincoln’s true to life portrayal takes a look at the titular character without the false bravado and vampires of other movies. Listen in as we dissect this masterclass in playing hate-able and lovable characters, creating authenticity in tone, and what it means to closely adhere to realism.
Westeros has not seen war in decades, and no war has broken out on the Internet about this show. Shocked? We’re not! It was a great episode, but will that continue? We hope so. Be careful if you haven’t read the books as any Internet searches will yield spoilers. And we will give 1,000 internet points to anyone who can prove there is a Lightsaber in the Iron Throne.
