Hi everyone,

as a special treat, we're publishing the latest episode for our subscriber-exclusive podcast for everyone! If you want to listen to the other and the following reviews, join the Patreon!

We are finally reunifying Germany!

Why did the Yi Ti build gigantic forts? Where did Azor Ahai really come from? Join us to not get any answers!

We're nearing the end. Not that anyone expected it when 1989 rolled around, but hindsight is a bitch.

We' re continuing our series and talk about the FRG in the 1980s.

We're reviewing the final episode of the season. What I show!

We talk about the big event, of course, but there's also a huge discussion about the worth of flashbacks and we even add a little addendum about the new trailer for the third season of House of the Dragon!

Payoffs are coming. We talk about the emotional impact this episode had.

We review the third episode of a show that's just getting stronger every week, and giving you some sound structural reasons as to why!
