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!
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!
Comic Steve and academic Anthony kneel before the powerhouse performance of King Viserys. Also, did Aemond take an extra time jump? And how much head must be severed for it to be considered a beheading?
“History repeats itself”, says another David O. Russell film pondering existential themes. When three old friends get wrapped up in a murder-mystery conspiracy, only their wits and friendship will get them out. Along the way they’ll turn ugly things into beautiful things and question the meaning of patriotism all while Christian Bale does his top tier Peter Falk/Columbo impression. This movie has a question for you, “Will you fight to protect kindness?”
And keep an eye out for our next First Run movies: Black Adam and Wakanda Forever!
This is the sizzle before the scorching fire. Is Viserys your favorite character now, too? Alicent is more dangerous than before. Rhaenyra and Daemon are already quite the pair. Having twins in the Kingsguard was clearly a play by Viserys to have his own campy 90s movie setup. And could someone write a concise guide to the names of these characters? Jim has had enough.

We’re careening towards the end of the first season of HOTD and the drama just keeps getting hotter. A.Ron warms up to the Melisandre theory. Who is under the Assassin’s Creed cloak? Did you know that dragon eggs each come with a matching leather purse?
Watch out WWF because it seems like TWD is trying to replace you. With lots of people lending a helping hand, this episode is filled with nice moments where we get to see the characters connect. It doesn’t matter if you’re in Westeros or Alexandria, if you’re a bastard child, your DNA will rebel against receiving the mantle from your parent-figures. And buckle up for Jim’s wild food theories and rant against caramel apples.
What? Why? Who? Just a few questions we have about The Rings of Power. This is the tale of two shows, one is super fun, the other is the show we’re getting. But we won’t let the ash cloud rain on our parade! The buddy show that is Durin and Elrond’s friendship is still top tier entertainment. And finally, A.Ron and Jim unveil their Orc Voices.
What will Sea Smoke get up to? Should the actors read the book? Is King Jimhaerys working through some issues in real time while reviewing this show? Cease the Alicent support, he won’t entertain it! He will unleash his Kingsguard on you. But wait! Ser A.Ron in his dark green cloak remains leal to partiality. Listen in for the HOTD and Bald Move drama.
