The debut of a new podcast where I chat with a guest about filmed adaptations of Shakespeare. This week we cover the 1990s Get Over It. Is it a forgettable 90s comedy or a flawed masterpiece? All of this and a brief discussion of LA LA Land.

Something is rotten in the state of Westeros. Jim and James conclude their History of Westeros with the death of the Targaryen dynasty, the honor of the Kingsguard and the false promise of Robert. Three Spring Princes turn out to be false. In particular Jim and James wonder what Rhaegar was thinking? Art from The World of Ice & Fire

In honor of May the Fourth, James and Evan go through all 5 of the new Star Wars movies. Can James say nice things about TFA? How many characters can they name from Rogue One? How divided are James and Evan of The Last Jedi? Is Solo a love story? All this and a lot of talk about behind the scenes in this deep dive into the new Star Wars movies.

In the next chapter on the History of Westeros, Jim McGeehin and Steven Attewell join James on the Blackfyre Rebellions. Who was the brother that Bloodraven loved? Why did the Rebellions continue, and the decline of the Targaryen dynasty and the tarnishing of the Blackfyre cause. Art from the World of Ice & Fire

After the Targaryens destroyed their basis of power, the question now was what their rule would be based on? Jim and James explore the varied attempts to overcome a dragon-free Westeros. Art by Naomi Makes Art

Ranking Thrones has covered the Dance of the Dragons across 8 episodes. But now Jim and James go in depth for 3 hours on the lead-up to and the clash of the Targaryens. James shows his defense of Rhaenyra while Jim holds all in contempt.

Jim McGeehin joins to chat about the history of Westeros from a broader perspective. In this series James and Jim analyze the trends of Kingship. In this episode they cover Aegon's style of Kingship and how his sons parroted aspects of their father. We also discuss the unsung significance of Visenya and more! Art by Amok

In our first and only time we will be discussing a show version of a King. We dive into D&D's portrayal of Tommen I. The poor good hearted boy that became King in a time of war.

For the first time since Torrhen Stark bent the knee to Aegon the Conqueror, there was a King in the North. Allied with the Riverlands who pledged fealty to Robb Stark, Robb forged a new crown and went to war against Tywin Lannister. Robb would astonish all as one of the greatest generals since Daeron the Young Dragon. Unfortunately though, Robb's prowess in combat was equaled by his mistakes in politics. What do Evan and James think of the final Claimant? Is he a Direwolf?

Evan is out this week but we have on Jim McGeehin of Wars & Politics of Ice & Fire to discuss Daeron II. We have discussed the most polarizing king from the Black and Red Dragon perspective, now Jim comes from a fair-minded and skeptical perspective to Daeron's legacy. Come for a magnificent hot take on the Red Dragon.
