This semi-autobiographical film written and directed by Kenneth Branagh is a touching story of a Belfast family and community set against a backdrop of “the troubles”. It features great performances by kids, grown-ups, and bastions like Judi Dench. Even in the dark times, there is humor and heart all backed by the fantastic Belfast native, Van Morrison.
It is the hour of the owl and foul deeds are afoot. Should Rhaenyra abdicate and save the realm from bloodshed? Even if that leaves the realm in the hands of (gulp)…Aegon? Was the dragon the only beast beneath the boards? King Jimhaerys and the leal Ser A.Ron are here to answer those questions and possibly yuck your yum.
We got a lot of answers in the finale. But were they satisfying answers? Listen in on some of the closing theories about this season and the next. Are there more half-elves running around? Will Jeff Bezos make a cameo? A.Ron has a Swedish Death Metal song for you. And don’t forget to send in your feedback for the final wrapup episode.
Can you be into feet and not be creepy about it? We thought Daemon was a wild card, but it looks like Rhaenys is vying for the role. With the stage suspiciously devoid of Rhaenyra and Daemon, we get a very personal look into the chaotic lives of Team Green.
Ye Olde spectacle, The Walketh Dead, is up to shenanigans again. Do you like Ren Fairs? This show does too. Are the walkers getting smarter? If that’s the case, Jim would like to see zombie trebuchets. And is Princess ok? Mercer might be one of those emotional vampires draining her.
The power has been restored to this show. Great sacrifices are made, destinies intertwined, and identities revealed. Though original Tolkien lore was trampled a bit, it was a job well done all around. We’re looking forward to seeing our heroes and villains in the next season. And don’t miss the feedback and wrap up episode next week!
Lunchtime! Wondering how BYPAX went? Maybe you’re wondering what BYPAX is? Jim and A.Ron have stories from BYPAX from this year and years past. Learn the complexities of betting on fake horses, hear about celebrity encounters, and find out about the indirect way Bald Move scares the school children.
King Jimherys and Ser A.Ron are keepin’ it leal. Though Team Black is looking pretty cool, we’re trying to give Team Green a fair shake. Is GRRM fixing the universe’s history? Could abdication have saved the realm? And did any of us really believe that Rhaenys was over not getting the crown?
Watch Michael Douglas get manipulated, be his classic grouchy self, and get just as confused as you are while watching this movie. Where the soundtrack doesn’t deliver, the visuals sure do. Douglas is joined by Sean Penn and directed by David Fincher, a master of thrillers. A.Ron describes this movie as a “20th century version of ‘A Christmas Carol’”. And Jim describes this movie as…well, I think you better hear it in his own words. Check out The Game!
