The Mummer's Farce

The inaugural episode of House of the Dragon has arrived and it's a doozy. Kate and Dan convene to talk about Targs Targing in all the ways one could Targ. Have the shows producers really taken lessons from Game of Thrones to heart, or are they doomed to repeat their past mistakes? Listen in to find out, but only after placing your large marble on the table. If we all do it at once, maybe a secret door in Viserys' model train set will open!

They said it couldn't be done, but the Mummer's Farce has returned after 3+ years in the Shadow Lands beyond Asshai. The reason: more Game of Thrones! With the imminent launch of the prequel series House of the Dragon, Kate and Dan take occasion to dust off the mics, dig into some tomes, and ponder just how long HBO's parent company is going to let them get away with this. Join us, won't you, as we find out.

Hello first-time listeners and long-time TMF fans! This is a brief introduction to the podcast and hosts Kate and Dan as they look back from atop 8 seasons' worth of Game of Thrones analysis. If you are new to The Mummer's Farce, this is a great place to start. If you've been listening week-to-week as we publish episodes, consider this an endcap on our extensive journey through ice and fire. Of course, The Mummer's Farce will return someday in some form, but until then, please enjoy the podcasts we've had so much fun making over the past 2 years. Thank you for listening!

Game of Thrones has ended, but what will the show's legacy be? Kate and Dan take one final lap around season 8, ranking the episodes, picking apart the most welcome and unwelcome surprises and reflecting on the documentary The Last Watch. All that plus a lot more talk about Young Griff than you were probably expecting, this week on The Mummer's Farce. Thank you for listening and sharing your time with us over these past 2 years!

This is it, folks, the final episode ever of Game of Thrones! Time to go out in style with the help of your friends at The Mummer's Farce. Does the show justify Dany's actions last episode? Do characters settle into tidy little conclusions? Will Drogon remain in the area?! Well, I'm not going to spoil it all in this description! Listen in to see what Kate and Dan think of just how bittersweet of an ending we got.

Game of Thrones barrels toward its conclusion, but not before burning half of King's Landing and seemingly quite a bit of audience goodwill. Kate and Dan take on the fiery downward spiral and the oh-so-controversial heel turn. But it's not all death-from-above and apocalypse. Arya and The Hound share a lovely moment before, hmm, ok bad example. Jaime finally reunites with Cersei and, um, er, OK, that one's kinda similar. Well, what if I told you Harry Strickland is there...for a minute. OK, it's mostly death-from-above and apocalypse, I guess.

The final battle is over and also somehow the final battle is just beginning in the latest episode of Game of Thrones. Join Kate and Dan this week as they cut Dany some slack that no one else seems to be granting her, Bronn, of all people, makes some salient points about how the world works, and Jon contests whether Targs always gonna Targ. All that plus new evidence surfaces about Vary's secret merman identity, so don't miss it!

Feeling a bit tense after watching "The Long Night" episode of Game of Thrones? Take a moment (or 90 minutes) to unwind with Kate and Dan as they walk through the darkness and emerge with keen insights about the significance behind what just happened. Do Arya and Beric have some kind of Lady Stoneheart connection? What does this mean for Melisandre's premonitions about either Dany or Jon being Azor Ahai? Where exactly was Mr. Royce this whole time? All that and more in this blockbuster episode of The Mummer's Farce!

Cozy up by the fire (or with your favorite blacksmith) one last time before it's too late as The Mummer's Farce checks in on our favorite characters as they prepare to face off against the White Walkers. Sansa and Dany have a fashion battle, Jaime reunites with almost everyone, and the show finally remembers how to write for Tyrion. That plus, y'know, all the feels.

The final season of Game of Thrones is here at long last, and the premiere gives Kate and Dan plenty to talk about. Come along and listen as our hosts count Dany's smirks, guess how many other characters will get Meera Reeded, and wonder what Cersei was thinking with Euron (other than elephants). Let The Mummer's Farce be your flaming sword in the darkness, but pray we last longer than Beric probably will.
