Jim and A.Ron have seen tonight’s episode of HBO’s Game of Thrones entitled, “Spoils of War”, and pronounce it hotter than dragon fire. An instant all time great episode, with visual thrills and spectacle enough to make 10,000 complaints about jet packs and fleet sizes bend the knee. If you don’t like it, dracarys. Enjoy our raving about how awesome Arya, Sansa, Brienne, Bronn, Drogon, Dany, Jon, a billion Dothraki screamers were for about 20 hot minutes, then please come back Tuesday for our more reasoned thoughts and opinions, as well as those of legions of our fellow fans. And Friday, we’ll talk about Child of the Forest cave paintings, and who knows what else. See you then!

Jim and A.Ron consider some book-based speculation and theories from the latest episode of Game of Thrones, “The Queen’s Justice”! If you’re a show-only watcher who doesn’t want *any* spoilers, it’s best to just skip this one. But if you’re an adventurous show watcher who’d like some extra discussion of book lore, prophecies, Westerosi history and back story, this might be the show for you. Need to catch up? Here’s a Tinfoil SpoiLore archive of previous podcasts by topic. Each link has a time code listed so you can jump right to the tinfoil topic of the week for your convenience and listening pleasure.
Absolutely nothing is going on in our lives this week so we get straight to the listener questions.
We have seen The Dark Tower, being the latest attempt to adapt the works of Stephen King to the big screen. How did it fair? Well… Neither of us have read the novel series that the movie is based on, which seemed to be a plus, because I think we liked it more than most, certainly more than die hard Tower fans. Idris Elba is very, very good, and looks the business as the Gunslinger, and has excellent chemistry with the young boy who holds the fate of multiple worlds in his hands, while Matthew McConnoghey is… fine. Turns out that it’s super hard to adapt 7 books worth of lore and world-building into 90 (!!!) minutes of film. Who knew?
A.Ron and Jim talk about why you should be watching Rick and Morty on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim, before talking about our backgrounds with the show and our opinions of how things are going through the first two episodes, “The Rickshank Rickdemption”, and “Rickmancing the Stone”.
This is a podcast where Jim and I, using tools created for the purpose, randomly generate a title for a fictional TV show. We then pitch ideas to each other based on what that show would be like if it were real. We like to call it, “Quit Yer Pitchin’!”
Jim and A.Ron do a deep dive into the latest episode of HBO’s Game of Thrones, “The Queen’s Justice”. We discussed the long awaited meeting of Ice and Fire, Bran’s loss of humanity, Sansa’s rule, Euron’s incredibly swift and effective navy, the further humiliation’s of Jaime, and much more. Add in a ton of community feedback and you got yourself a packed podcast. And we’re not done! Come back Friday for our SpoiLore edition, where we delve into the secrets and history left to uncover in the books!
