Gregory Webster and Don Riggs join Anthony to discuss Catelyn’s motives (both seen and unseen). Steve Ausburne talks about trial by combat, eating horse hearts, and falling from the moondoor. After talking with Chad about the maesters, Anthony dives deep into dragons as presented in medieval bestiaries.
Linguist David Peterson, the inventor of Dothraki and High Valyrian, is featured this week (just an excerpt from a longer interview). Before that, Stephanie Barbé Hammer talks (ch.5) Jon I and Steve Ausburne talks about episode 5. After talking with David Peterson, Anthony delves into Irish-Catholic werewolves.
Anthony and Chad ponder the friendship between Ned and Robert (are they really friends?) and the virtue/cowardice of Samwell Tarley. Steve considers Catelyn’s capture of Tyrion and does a deep dive into Rodrik Cassel’s sideburns.
We did it! It’s been an epic journey of Tolkien proportions trying to cover The Lord of the Rings trilogy, but we didn’t go it alone. The Bald Move Frodo found their Sam in commissioner “Epic Mouthful”, who hefted us up on their back and carried us up the nearly 3-hour Mt. Doom of a podcast that this turned out to be. Join us on the podcast for the final chapter of our Lord of the Rings coverage!
Bald Move introduces “Game of Thrones 2: Electric Bookaloo”, with host Anthony Le Donne. This is a ten episode bookcentric podcast that also reviews the first season of Game of Thrones with comic Steve Ausburne.

What comes to mind when you think of the movie “Labyrinth”? If you were a young girl coming of age in the mid 80s, you probably remember the raw emo sexuality of David Bowie awakening something within you or the hero’s journey told from the female perspective. If you’re Jim you remember a ton of early internet memes centered on David Bowie’s bulge that eventually lead you to watching this bizarrely creative Jim Henson masterpiece. Either way, there’s something for everyone to love in this movie, and hopefully in the podcast we produced for Kevin and Courtney’s commission.

Looks like The Lord of the Rings is back on the menu, boys! It’s another LotR mega-pod and this time you have epic mouthful to thank. This time we’re covering the rough middle ground of the epic saga, The Two Towers. While it is our least favorite of the LotR movies, that’s not to say that it’s bad. Actually, it’s very good. We take this opportunity to run down our favorite moments, thoughts on the storytelling, differences between the extended and theatrical versions as well as the books, and all the behind-the-scenes details we can get our hands on.
