Smoking Joints, Talking About Life

This week, David, Patches, and Katey tackle a double feature: Shane Black’s Nice Guys and Nicholas Stoller’s Neighbors 2. Both involve smoking joints and talking about life. But do they both work? That and answers to our Neighbors 2-themed lightning round question on this week’s review episode.

A GAME OF THRONES PODCAST FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO TALK ABOUT SPOILERS

With Joanna Robinson from Vanity Fair, Dave Gonzales from Geek.com and Neil Miller from Film School Rejects!

WARNING

If you’re looking for spoiler-free dissection of the highest caliber, or reading along with Season One of the HBO show, you’re looking for A CAST OF KINGS (click there)

Welcome back to A STORM OF SPOILERS! Sorry for the delay!

This is the Storm of Spoilers episode for Season 6, Episode 4 “The Book of the Stranger.”

Dany has burned another bunch of dudes who underestimated her, so this week the hosts and occupants of the Citadel of Crazytown try to make sense of why season six is echoing season one when it comes to fireproof Targaryen magic. Da7e, Joanna and Neil spend some time debating what’s up with Meereen and weigh how much we should care going forward (although Dany burning people is awesome). Then: STARKS! They’re in the same place and Jon and Sansa’s reunion, coupled with Tormund and Brienne’s wordless relationship means the North might be the best thing going right now. That, plus Da7e’s usual assurances that Littlefinger might know what he’s doing and trying to untangle what’s going to happen in King’s Landing next week.

Former U.S. Congressman and current New York mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner leaves his apartment building, in New York, Wednesday, July 24, 2013.

When Segment 3 Got Deleted

This week, Katey, Patches, Da7e and David suffer some technical difficulties, so this week’s segment 3 about hte “Game of Thrones” phenomena had to get cut (it was full of static and pauses, you would have hated it). After a now ironic couple of reviews that include audio quality knocks, the team takes on Weiner, the new documentary that closely follows the Anthony Weiner scandal. Then, Patches is on the Dakota Johnson train now that he’s seen How to be Single. Then the show wraps up because of technical difficulties. Drag. We’ll fix it.
