Once the home of @MearnsPSA and @ManuclearBomb's scene-by-scene Game of Thrones podcast. Nowadays, go listen to Manu's latest thoughts at @NotACastASOIAF!

As much as we enjoyed podding together, Manu & I decided that this show isn't coming back and we won't be hosted at our paid server anymore.
Our archives should be accessible through the link I made in the final blog post.

Was blessed to bring back my old @SceneIceFire cohost Andrew to talk about Arya XIII and say goodbye to Sandor Clegane. And we flex some of those old show discourse skills as we talk about how this chapter was adapted across the S4 premiere and finale!

Our longest HotD episode yet, and with no surprise: this episode is stuffed with new actors, characters, returns to familiar places, and even updates to the opening title sequence. Come check out our thoughts!

This week’s episodes was filled with metaphors for Viserys’s reign; crabs, maggots, and broken dragons. He is the one that waits for the storm, much to his doom, instead of going through it or around it like Corlys advises.
