The Give Me Five Podcast: An Uncultured Look at Pop Culture and Nostalgia

The Season 7 Finale of Game of Thrones. Season 7 moved faster than a raven bringing a message to Daenerys. And the season 7 finale brought most of the characters together on-screen for the first time. Will the living stop killing each other long enough to fight the much larger problem that is knocking at the gates of Westeros? Will the bickering Stark sisters stop long enough to remove Littlefinger from our lives? Are Rob's predictions a result of a crippling Ny-Quil dependency? Listen to our recap and find out. (then comment on Twitter or Facebook)

We also make terrible predictions for season 8 and answer some listener questions!

Episode 6 Summer is coming to an end, and with it the big blockbuster movie releases are trickling to a stop. However, there are still plenty of things keeping us occupied. We discuss Hitman's Bodyguard, a brand new surprise release from Perturbator, Orlando IX Video Game convention, the Marvel street-level hero team-up show The Defenders, and a blast from the past making a huge comeback (and profiting off parent's nostalgia) Duck Tales! We also discuss the top 5 licensed video games for the NES, and Jimmy is horribly wrong about TMNT being good. Seriously, its terrible, and since I write this paragraph, I will make my stand here. Stupid electric seaweed...

The penultimate episode of Game of Thrones Season 7. As our band of heroes head out Beyond the Wall, you will hear how guys talk when there's no one around but zombie polar bears to hear them. Will Daenerys have to leave Dragonstone to rescue yet another stupid hero? (yup) Will Arya and Sansa have yet another frustrating argument? (also yup) Will Cersei finally be eaten by a direwolf? (sadly, no) Will autocorrect ever get Beric Dondarrion's name right? (definitely no)

If a Lannister falls in a unbelievably deep swamp and no one is around to save him will he survive?  On this breakdown of season 7 episode 5 "Eastwatch" we get to see old friends getting back together, Machiavellian conniving at its most Littlefingery, a missed opportunity to prove the rightful heir to the iron throne, more incompetent guards, and a whole lot of weird brother sister situations. Oh, and an army full of ice zombies is still marching. Greg, Jimmy and Rob are here to discuss all these things, and Rob is still convinced there will be ice zombie dragons. (there won't be)

Episode 4 takes a delicious  dark turn as Rob, Greg and Jimmy chat about their favorite cannibal movies. Jimmy introduces us to Futurecop! (kinda), Greg tries to convince the last 2 people on this planet not watching Rick and Morty to watch Rick and Morty. (with a Zardoz reference no less), Rob brings us virtually into Star Wars, and then the guys disagree on the merits of Dark Tower, and kinda agree on the lack of merits of The Bad Batch.

Bonus: Will Jimmy ever learn to say "Return to Alvograth"? Listen all the way to the end to find out.
