Episode 72 - Season 7 Recap!

Doug is joined by Jeff Van Dreason of the 'Greater Boston' podcast.  Brian couldn't be bothered to show up for the season 7 recap, but it's addition by subtraction.  Without Brian's dead weight, the episode really breathes.

Anyways, enjoy it while you can , guys.  We are going dark until Season 8, or the appearance of a new book.  

Take care guys and good luck.

Episode 67 - The Queen's Justice S7E3

So Season 7 plows ahead at warp speed with Season 7 Episode 3,’The Queen’s Justice’.  As “Snacks” points out, this is an episode of first and callbacks.  You would think that would be good enough, but upon further consideration, most of it was a let down.  Storing acting performances once again salvage an others troubled entry.

Episode 61 - Hardhome S5E8(Again for the First Time!)

We get in the way back machine and travel back to 2016.  Back when we thought dead celebrities were something to complain about.  

This is the first episode we ever recorded.  A Trial run for of what would become the most well regarded podcast on the internet.  

Sure, it's a little shaky, but you can see the seeds of greatness, what were planted in such fertile soil.  

Enjoy!

Episode 60 - Hardhome S5E8

Sometimes things get a little stale and you got to try something new.  Something bold.  Something different. You step to the edge, take a deep breath, and jump.  Most of the time, you land flat on your face.  But sometimes…if you’re lucky…

you knock it out of the F’n park.

We provide a running cometary for one of the most entertaining episodes of Game of Thrones ever, Hardhome.

Episode 59 - The Gift

We are knee deep in Season 5.  This time we tackle a misery filled episode that isn't as brutal as last week's, so things are looking up?  In 'The Gift,' we get to deal with dementia, spousal abuse, looming blood sacrifices and only the threat of sexual violence.  
...hooray!
