The depth of Tolkien’s colorful world continues to glow on the screen. We hear fully developed languages, get hints at the evil lurking in the shadows, and see the shining glory of Khazad-dum pre-Balrog rampage. The Bezos Bucks are paying off as sets, costumes, and effects dazzle. It seemed that HOTD and TROP would inevitably go head to head, and so far each is holding their ground.
A.Rondir and Jimafell are joining the fray against the spreading darkness of the Second Age. With gorgeous shots of a younger Middle-Earth and lore up to your eyeballs, we are pleased with this half a billion dollar show. Evil encroaches, romance blooms, and did we mention this show is beautiful?! Are you gonna be a rock and miss out, or are you going to be a boat and watch this show with us?

Lunchtime! Oktoberfest was a hit for A.Ron and Jim. Live vicariously through this episode to experience the fun and food. But don’t let Jim eat too much, because apparently he cannot belch. When Jim isn’t painting his minis, he and A.Ron have been hitting the gym. Anyone interested in Bald Move sweatbands?
There’s breaking news on the showrunner front for HOTD. With the aged-up characters on the horizon, are you hopeful for more powerhouse actors, or are you going to miss Milly?

With viewership growing a bit since the pilot, HBO pulled the trigger and renewed HOTD for a second season! And it’s no surprise because The Rogue Prince gave us an exciting look at a new antagonist, growing tension in the royal family, and a foreshadowing of what is to come. Watch and admire this great television with us in the second installment of HOTD aka “There Are So Many Ways Viserys Could Have Handled This Better”.

It’s the same music, but new problems for the royal family. Dragons, crabs, and maggots with medical degrees are becoming a growing problem in Westeros. Already devious ploys for the throne are made, but that’s what we’re all here for, right?!

Off the Clock episodes are going to consist of deep dives from now on. Don’t come to this episode hungry because Jim and A.Ron are talking about The Bear. The prestige drama taking place in a greasy spoon restaurant in Chicago packs a flavorful punch. This show demands your full attention, no background watching, and you won’t regret it. And get a quick preview of Emily the Criminal, Aubrey Plaza’s newest movie.

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.
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.
