This week on Game of Groans, Emily and Kate are still taking time away from "canon" episodes and have watched a holiday movie with a Game of Thrones actress in it. We decide to watch Emilia Clarke's movie, "Last Christmas."

They discuss modernizing language can be bad, manic pixie dream boys, Whamageddon, Patti Lupone, Fleabag, suspension of disbelief, and that Chris Pratt isn't funny anymore.

Additionally, Emily knows nothing about George Michaels, Kate doesn't agree with coma spirits, and they both plug newer holiday movies they like.

New "canon" episodes start in the new year, watch the feed in January 2025. Music is by Simon Daum.

This week on Game of Groans, Emily and Kate are taking time away from "canon" episodes and just play some games this month in a bonus episode.  Emily has created some lists that Kate has to "blind rank" and it gets quite interesting.

They discuss actors being hotter than their characters, Dimension 20, award-bait speeches, that Cersei was a victim but still a bad mom, and staying out of cults.

Additionally, Kate does a good Bran impression, and Emily doesn't want anyone to @ her.

New "canon" episodes start in the new year, watch the feed in January 2025.  Bonus episodes still coming in December. Music is by Simon Daum.
