This week, Katey, Patches, Da7e and David celebrate a weekend where even non-subscribers had access to HBO. That means everyone got to check out the Season 6 premiere of Game of Thrones, maybe television’s last great watercooler show. They reflect on the loss of Prince in a mini-segment, then dig into Beyoncé’s HBO visual album Lemonade.
AUDIO APOLOGIES – Due to internet issues, parts of Segment 3 switch to a backup MP3 track recorded raw off Skype. Our apologies. Blame Time Warner.

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!
This is the Storm of Spoilers episode for Season 6, Episode 1 “The Red Woman.”
We’re in the last part of the Song of Ice and Fire tale and resolving some cliffhangers from Season 5. The important thing, it seems, is not to think too hard about what’s happening. How did Sansa and Theon survive the jump from that wall and where did the hounds go once Brienne arrived? What happened in Dorne, WHY and how do the Sand Snakes get to King’s Landing? After spending some time mourning the Dorne storyline and debating the Melisandre twist, your hosts delve into possible future plot points, then answer your tweeted and e-mailed questions!
WE’RE BACK!
