  • Talkin' Thrones Episode 5 - The Wolf & the Lion
    On the latest episode of #talkinthrones, Dom & Pat break down Episode 5 of this tale of Ice & Fire, The Wolf and the Lion. This was the episode where things really came to a head. Ned Stark is full on into the investigation of Jon Arryn's death, particularly after the death of his squire. Arya stumbles upon some plottings, Varys and Littlefinger are at each other's throats, Tyrion is being taken by Catelyn to see her sister Lysa, and it ends with Ned being cornered by Jaime Lannister and impaled through his leg. The focus character of tonight's episode was one Robert Baratheon, portrayed by Mark Addy, who had several impressive moments on tonight's episode. The opening scene with Ned Stark, the small council scene and the last scene he has with Cersei do so much to highlight the conflict within this character. And finally, we talk about Robert's tumultuous marriage to Cersei Lannister and how it's led them to where they are now. In an episode with no Jon or Daenerys, so many things to cover, and so much still yet to come, be sure to keep tuning into new episodes of Talkin' Thrones each and every single week, only on the #talkintvpodcast

  • Episode 89 - A Quiet Place Part II
    Quiet Place Part II is a 2021 American horror film and the sequel to the 2018 film A Quiet Place, both of which follow a family that is forced to navigate and survive in a post-apocalyptic world inhabited by blind monsters with an acute sense of hearing. The sequel was written and directed by John Krasinski under the studio Paramount Pictures. Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds, and Noah Jupe reprise their roles from the first film, and Cillian Murphy and Djimon Hounsou joined the cast. Krasinski also returns from the first film in a small role, seen in a flashback sequence set before the first film. Paramount Pictures began development of a sequel in April 2018 following the box-office and critical success of the first film. By the following August, Krasinski was writing the film, and he was hired in February 2019 to direct. Production took place in Western New York from June to September 2019. Krasinski was credited with writing the sequel based on characters created by Bryan Woods and Scott Beck for the first film. The sequel was ultimately produced on a budget of $61 million, over three-times the original's $17 million. After a long delay due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with the film shifting from 3 times from its original March 2020 release date, the film is finally in theaters and the #talkintv boys are here to give their thoughts on it. Is it better than the original? Does it expand on the Universe? And more importantly, will the new Paramount+ 45 day theatrical window hurt Krasinski & Blunt?

  • Talkin' Thrones Episode 4 - Cripples, Bastards & Broken Things
    On the latest episode of #talkinthrones, Dom & Pat break down Episode 4 of this tale of Ice & Fire, Cripples, Bastards & Broken Things. Cripples, Bastards and Broken Things is directed by Brian Kirk and is the first episode written by Bryan Cogman, the only other writer to have written an episode for every season of the show.  This was an episode about the disenfranchised of the world of Westeros. Daenerys realizes that Viseryes is a useless blowhard who simply likes abusing people; Jon and company welcome new recruit Samwell Tarly to the wall; Tyrion gifts Bran with the ability to ride before ripping Theon a new one and getting himself captured by Catelyn; and Ned begins his investigation of Jon Arryn's murder, which leads him to Robert Baratheon's bastard, Gendry (Joe Dempsie). Then, we talk about our focus character, Petry "Littlefinger" Baelish, portrayed by Aidan Gillen, a man who's help so many people covet, yet so few trust. Finally, in line with the theme of this episode, we discuss the concept of bastards and their role within the infrastructure of Westeros.

Snyder was announced as director, and the cast joined over the next several months.  Chris D'Elia was originally cast in the film, but after several sexual misconduct accusations were made against him in August 2020, Tig Notaro was hired to replace his character and reshot his scenes using green screen and body doubles.

  • Talkin' Thrones Episode 3 - Lord Snow
    On the latest episode of #talkinthrones, Dom & Pat break down Episode 3 of this tale of Ice & Fire, entitled Lord Snow. Directed by Brian Kirk in the first of three episodes he would direct and written by David Benioff & DB Weiss, the majority of this episode is dedicated to Ned finding his way through the mess of King's Landing, before being reunited with Catelyn who's come to warn him of the Lannister plot. Arya learns that despite her gender she can grow outside of the norms forced upon her; Jon Snow, also our focus character learns to be more of a team player which will of course be apart of many things that he learns on his journey of self discovery, with some help from Tyrion of course; and finally Daenerys discovers that she is pregnant with Khal Drogo's baby, which prompts Jorah Mormont to go on a very suspicious quest. Its an episode filled with growth and maturation, as well as a very strong sense that the old are on their way out and that the new are going to have a very different world to deal with. They also break down the history of the GOT-chaverse, this time talking about the history of the Night's Watch and what their impact on the story is.

  • Episode 87 - Spiral: From the Book of Saw

    Spiral: From the Book of Saw, or simply Spiral, is a 2021 American horror film that serves as the first spin-off in the Saw film series. It is directed by Darren Lynn Bousman, his fourth film of the series, and written by Josh Stolberg and Peter Goldfinger. The film stars Chris Rock, Max Minghella, Marisol Nichols, and Samuel L. Jackson, and follows police efforts to stop a Jigsaw copycat killer. The original creators of the series, James Wan and Leigh Whannell, serve as executive producers alongside Rock. Talks of another Saw installment began after the release of Jigsaw in 2017, with Chris Rock wanting to branch out into the horror genre. While the film certainly has its aspirations and allusions, the #talkintv boys break down exactly why this film doesn't work despite its best intentions, along with frequent channel collaborator and fellow Talkin' Thrones host, Professor Pat Huber. All of this and more on today's episode of the #talkintvpodcast

  • Episode 86 - Jupiter's Legacy

    Jupiter's Legacy is an American superhero streaming television series developed by Steven S. DeKnight, based on the Image comic book series by Mark Millar and Frank Quitely, that premiered on Netflix on May 7, 2021. The series stars Josh Duhamel, Ben Daniels, Leslie Bibb, Elena Kampouris, Andrew Horton, Mike Wade, and Matt Lanter. The central figure is the Utopian, but to his family, he is merely Sheldon Sampson (Duhamel), a man struggling between being the family patriarch who’s attempting to instill some morals in his now-grown children, and being the flawless, visionary superhero the world needs. Filling out the gaps of the immediate family are his wife Grace (Leslie Bibb in a fitting come full circle moment since the first Iron Man) aka Lady Liberty; his brother Walter (Ben Daniels) aka Brainwave; his son, Brandon (Andrew Horton) aka The Paragon, who is trying desperately to live up to his father’s image; and estranged daughter Chloe (Elena Kampouris) who has left the superhero life behind to pursue the celebrity route.

  • Talkin' Thrones Episode 1 - Winter is Coming
    Welcome to the premiere of Talkin' Thrones, the weekly recap show where Dom "The Movie Nerd" Rizzi and "Professor" Pat Huber sit down to discuss Game of Thrones and what happened on the road to that god awful finale. The show premiered ten years ago on April 17th, 2011, after a long and arduous journey to the screen. This happened when David Benioff sat down for a five hour lunch meeting with series creator George R. R. Martin and won him over by answering the question of who Jon Snow's mother is. HBO optioned the rights in 2007, and the pilot was shot in 2009, to poor results and reviews. It was then reshot in the following year, where they changed several cast members around, which resulted in the pilot we received, entitled "Winter is Coming." Pat & Dom break down their own relationship with Game of Thrones, how they got into it individually, the cultural impact the show has had, and so much more! They hit a focus character, this week being Bran Stark, portrayed in the show by Isaac Hempstead Wright, talk about the history of the Stark family, how Ned Stark's opening scene establishes his character journey and how the show ultimately differentiated itself structurally as well as culturally. It's going to be quite a journey with the #talkinthrones​ boys as they continue to examine this song of ice and fire, and it's all covered here on #talkintvpodcast

  • Episode 85 - Kim's Convenience Finale & Series Review
    Kim's Convenience is a Canadian television sitcom that premiered on CBC Television in October 2016. It depicts the Korean Canadian Kim family that runs a convenience store in the Moss Park neighbourhood of Toronto: parents "Appa" (Paul Sun-Hyung Lee) and "Umma" (Jean Yoon) – Korean for dad and mom, respectively – along with their daughter Janet (Andrea Bang) and estranged son Jung (Simu Liu). Other characters include Jung's friend and coworker Kimchee (Andrew Phung) and his manager Shannon (Nicole Power). The series is based on Ins Choi's 2011 play of the same name. The show ran for five seasons, from October of 2016, and airing its final episode a couple of weeks ago on April 13, 2021, after the show was abruptly cancelled due to the series creators walking away before the show's ordered sixth and final season, prompting the network to end it rather than attempt to continue it without the creators. While we will miss the show and forever be angry that another one of our favorite shows was taken from us too soon, the #talkintv​ boys get together to honor and celebrate one of their favorite shows of the last couple of years. In this episode, they talk about the show's fifth and final season, the production problems that plagued it due to Covid, the cancellation and the absense of star Simu Liu, who was off filming Marvel's Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings for Marvel. In addition, they talk about what made the show so special; the growth of the characters over time and whether the finale, impromptu as it was, worked.
