Episode One Eight Two: A Final Tepid Take (for now) Recorded 10/25/2022 A discussion about episode 10, the Season 1 finale of House of The Dragon turns into in an depth discussion on season 1 itself.  For Andrew’s money, it is a triumph.  Our analysis delves deep into how intimate misunderstandings lead to Realm altering catastrophes. Also, […]

Episode One Eight One: Daemon Kills Someone and Rhaenys kills No One Recorded 10/19/22 A Oner from us about a two parter of House of the Dragon. We cover episodes 8 and 9 and holy smokes SHIT. GOES. DOWN. One more episode this season then no more Hot-D for 18 months (probably) But after next week […]

Episode One Eight Zero: A Bottle Episode, with Dragons Recorded 10/4/22 Google what a “Bottle Episode” is and this episode will come up as an example (probably). This Cold War between powerful families boils over and blood is drawn (for reals). Olivia Cooke EATS your dinner as Alicent Hightower. And a huge, ancient dragon gets […]

Episode One Seven Nine: Bunghole Vibrations Recorded September 29, 2022 HoT-D episode titled “The Princess and The Queen”.  A HUGE time jump!  Rhaenyra and Allicent are truly at odds.  This is an episode of sideways glances and thinly-veiled secrets.  Daemon is married to a formidable woman so of course his happiness will be crushed before […]

Episode One Seven Eight:  We are RSVP’ing “No” to any Westerosi Weddings Recorded September 20th We discuss episodes four and five of House of The Dragon.  The political intrigue is phenomenal.  The character moments are wonderful.  The dragons are really cool and there is terrible violence at a wedding.  It’s the best of “Games of Thrones” […]

Episode One Seven Seven: Daemon Broke Rule #1 Recorded September 5th More Hot-D!  Character moments abound in this episode.  We recap Rhaenyra’s, Daemon’s and Visery’s big moments.  This episode is heavy in prophecy, superstition and imagery.  It also has either an awesome or ridiculous action sequence, depending on your tolerance for silliness.  And either Daemon […]

Episode One Seven Six: If You are in a Medieval Battle, Always Wear a Helmet Recorded September 3rd HoT-D runs thick.  Patrick has a dumb idea (a couple dumb ideas, actually) and we talk almost as long as the episode itself. Our favorite dragon moment of any Game of Thrones series is in this episode.  […]

Episode One Seven Five: The First House Of The Dragon Hot Take Episode Recorded August 22nd It’s our first hot take episode of House of The Dragon.  We discuss lore and character and world building and it feels so good to be back in The World of Ice and Fire.  Join us every week for the […]

Episode One Seven Four: The San Diego Comic Con Recap episode Recorded 7/24/2022 San Diego Comic Con is back!  After a pandemic imposed hiatus, the greatest of all Pop Culture weekends has returned.  And much like The Matrix, no one can be told what Comic Con is, you have to experience it for yourself.  We […]

Episode One Seven Three: Sadie Sink and Vivien Lyra Blair Appreciation Episode Recorded 7/5/2022 Back on our bullshit.  A proper Two-Shot.  We talk Star Wars Obi-Wan Kenobi and we talk Stranger Things Season 4.  You can imagine our opinions vary wildly.  Patrick doesn’t think Kenobi’s stakes are high enough, Andrew disagrees.  Andrew loves that Season 4 goes full horror […]
