STORM OF SPOILERS – From The Battle of The Bastards to The Great War
Storm of Spoilers | | 2. March, 2016
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!
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)
This podcast includes some occasional cursing. But compared to what you lived through in Season 5, it’s no big deal.
Welcome back to A STORM OF SPOILERS! Since we last spoke, George RR Martin has told us that Winds of Winter WAS going to come out before Season 6 (we were right!), but he didn’t finish it (we were wrong!). That doesn’t stop the author from teasing that his books are still relevant with some sort of twist involving a show-dead character. AND ABOUT THOSE “DEAD” CHARACTERS…Joanna, Neil and Da7e dig into their favorite speculations about Jon Snow and Lady Stoneheart while Neil holds out hope for the Dornish Plot and everyone debates where the final battle line for the “Great War” will be drawn: the Wall? The Riverlands? All the way to King’s Landing?

NOT AN EPISODE – Finn Jones as Danny Rand in Marvel’s Iron Fist for Netflix
Thought Bubble | | 29. February, 2016
Hi-ho, Da7e here!
On the day we recorded our latest Star Wars Special, news broke that Netflix and Marvel cast Finn Jones as Iron Fist. This caused some controversy online where there had been calls to cast Danny Rand as Asian American.
After spending most of that day talking to Joanna Robinson about the casting over instant messenger, the discussion inevitably spilled over into the recording. Patches, Jo and I started off the Star Wars Special without Neil Miller, so the first chunk is just the three of us going over the news. Then, after the Star Wars Special was finished recording, Patches had to take off and Neil joined in the ongoing Iron Fist talk.
I’ve posted what I can here because according to Twitter there was some interest in hearing what the debate inside the FITWR podcasting team was.
THIS SHOULD NOT BE YOUR FIRST EXPOSURE TO ANY OF THE PODCASTS AT FIGHTINGINTHEWARROOM.COM
This will not be pushed into any podcast feeds.
It’s just because discussion is good. So is yelling at corporations.
SECOND UPDATE:
You might have noticed that this post briefly disappeared. That was entirely my fault (still Da7e, Da7e’s fault).
As I describe loosely above, we recorded this not-an-episode in between other recordings when we all thought we were off air (except Joanna, who recorded the entire thing). That lead me to try to win a racial argument with my friends (for better or for worse) by suggesting Marvel could be bringing it’s 1970s Kung Fu characters into the same series.
THAT little nugget that I brought up was NOT my information to report, and I don’t like being an asshole to my fellow scoop journalists and spoiler enthusiasts. Now that MCU Exchange and The Hashtag Show have actually had the chance to break their news without me stepping all over it in podcast argument form, the Iron Fist not-an-episode has been restored.
Sorry about the runaround of this file being up for mere hours before being pulled for no reasons, but it’s not worth betraying trust to be the first person to say something.
Ok, that’s it. Fight on!
STAR WARS SPECIAL – Episode 5: Eels, Scarabs and Space Bears, Oh My
Episode VIII has begun.
The Fighting In The War Room podcast family acknowledges that Star Wars Mania is here to stay now that Disney-purchased Lucasfilm plans to spin the saga and anthology movies out into the foreseeable future. It’s time to fight in the galactic war room for the foreseeable future! We’ll never see STAR PEACE.
In the fifth Star Wars Special, Joanna Robinson, Matt Patches, Neil Miller and Da7e catch up on the Star Wars Universe news since they last convened in Episode 4. New York Toy Fair 2016 came and went without a bunch of Star Wars To-Do, but we did get a Force Friday 2016 announcement and a giant 16″ BB-8 that has Da7e excited. The Lego Star Wars Universe is expanding with both Resistance Rises shorts and a new Disney XD TV series, StarWars.com gave away the secrets of Rey’s portion bread and OH YEAH, EPISODE VIII: SPACE BEAR STARTED SHOOTING! Laura Dern, Benicio Del Toro and Kelly Marie Tran are added to the cast. We speculate on what that can be (SPECULATE, Episode VIII info is sparse) before jumping into the SPOILER section, which is choc-full of Rogue One goodness.
I find your lack of SPOILER faith disturbing! – Spoiler discussion starts at 45:39
