  • Guys. Please use spoiler warnings

    10 minutes into a three hour episode and spoiled the entirety of Dunk and Egg. Like jeez guys. It’s three hours I thought I’d be safe to listen to get the vibe of this podcast. But one of the hosts literally said how Dunk and Egg end up and pretty much ruined it. So that was super fun.

Q: Do you think it would actually tarnish his legacy if somebody came out and finished it?
No, not at all, but from an Internet perspective, oh, yeah, that'll be like the main talking point.
Ravens - The Power of Weirwood Doors, The importance of Daenerys Story and more!
Q: Which will we see first? Which gets released first? Winds of Winter or the Epstein files?
It's winds. I think it's not even close.
Theory - Why did Benjen Stark join the Night's Watch?
Q: Why did Benjen really join the Night's Watch?
The hosts speculate that Benjen may have felt a sense of duty and honor leading him to join the Night's Watch, but he may also have had deeper knowledge of the events surrounding his family and the prophecies, especially regarding Rhaegar and Lyanna.
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Soundscape - Talking with Jordan Rannells

The process involves listening to the audiobook, plotting sound effects, and composing original music for characters and scenes.
House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 4 Review - The Red Dragon and the Gold
Q: Where's your initial reviews out of this?
I really loved it. You know, and I guess if I had to do it out of five, it'd probably be more upwards towards the five out of five. I think it's one of the best episodes of the show thus far.
