This week, Josh and Dietrich take a look at the end of one of the biggest storytelling accomplishments of all time, the adaptation of George RR Martin's fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire, Game of Thrones. From an idea most considered a poor gamble at best in the beginning came a pop culture phenomenon, and one of the last great appointment viewing television shows. However, with the controversial and maligned final season, Josh and Dietrich look at the challenges of adapting an unfinished work, the choices made by the showrunners and the assumption of what made the best of the show work, and talk about what lessons those who want to follow in Game of Thrones' footsteps can learn. In addition, Josh reads the first Thomas Harris book in a long, long time, Dietrich discusses both the book and television adaptation of a satirical masterpiece, and they wrap up with a discussion of the film neither ever thought would happen, Deadwood.
