Orange is the New Cast - 301 – “Mother’s Day”

A.Ron is back with his all-star cast of women in podcasting, to tackle season three of Netflix’s Orange is the New Black series. First up at bat is Cecily, and we talk about the changes at Litchfield after the sudden departure of Vee and Figero, Caputo actually being good at his job, Piper still being pretty terrible, the trainwreck that is Daya and John’s relationship, and lots of feelings about mothers conjured up by Poussey and Maria. We hope you’ll join in our our binge casting as we’ll be banging out two of these a week until we’re finished with the season. See you in a couple of days!

HOTD: A House of the Dragon Podcast - 510 – Mother’s Mercy

Jim and A.Ron weight the merits of the season five finale of HBO’s Game of Thrones; episode 510 entitled “Mother’s Mercy”… We discuss Arya’s punishment for stealing from the Many Faced God, Jaime becoming a father, Stannis’s last stand, Sansa and Theon’s leap of faith, Dany’s dealing with a rebellious Drogon, and the mutiny at the Wall. All this and tons of feedback — AND — this is not over yet. We’ll be back Friday for the final SpoiLORE segment of the season, and next Tuesday for a season five wrap up, where we’ll talk about the season overall, how it stacks up against the previous four, and our hopes, fears, and predictions for next year.

HOTD: A House of the Dragon Podcast - 510 – Mother’s Mercy – Instant Take

A.Ron and Jim have a lot to say about the season finale of Game of Thrones, episode 510, “Mother’s Mercy”. An episode that brought the boys around on a few plots, and featured cliffhangers stacked upon cliffhangers. We’ll have much more to say on the full featured cast, coming out on Tuesday, and we’ll also have a final SpoiLORE cast Friday. See you then!

HOTD: A House of the Dragon Podcast - 509 – The Dance of Dragons

A few days of reflection and a few more rewatches have not been any kinder to our memories of episode 509, entitled “The Dance of Dragons”… Arya’s subplot was uncharacteristically flat and obvious, Stannis is no longer the Mannis, things in Meereen were thrilling and epic but suffered from a bit of execution (too soon?) problems, and Dorne… well, it’s Dorne, which is an old Valyrian word for “crap”. Hopefully next week we’ll get a ray of sunshine as we finish of the series. Perhaps somebody will order a Code Red on Ramsay and his A Few Good Men? Or maybe Dany and Drogon will ride back in town, free the other two dragons, and Tyrion and a suddenly awesome Daario can take the skies together in a magical hour of fun and friendship! Either that, or characters we know and love will be brutalized before our eyes as we take emotional kick after emotional kick straight to the emotional crotch. Please sirs, can we have another?! Check back Friday for our SpoiLORE cast, were A.Ron will be moderating a debate consisting of “Stannis; the Monster that Betrayed Us All” versus “Stannis; We Probably Should Have Seen This Coming All Along”.
