This podcast includes some deep sighs and acknowledgement of what happened on the TV last Sunday.
This week, Neil, Joanna and Da7e are pretty much in agreement that they’ve witnessed some serious errors in Game of Thrones storytelling. From the geography of Dorne being as unclear as Littlefinger’s overall plan to the sad limitations of real life production leading to another disappointing outing for the Sand Snakes. Also, the show doesn’t stick the landing and all our worst Sansa fears became true in a very clumsy way.
That doesn’t mean this week is without it’s bright spots of crackpotitude and literature-based extrapolation!
Neil makes several attempts to return to the Crazytown Citadel we built last week, Da7e becomes obsessed with a giant mockingbird and pairs off Lady Olenna with the High Sparrow (sexually), and Joanna introduces us all to a Twitter account called @catelynshead

STORM OF SPOILERS – Erecting a Citadel In Crazytown
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!

This podcast includes some harsh language and blunt spoiling. But… you’ve already seen Reek horribly tortured and are dead inside anyway.
This week, we don’t go to King’s Landing or Dorne, instead we spend time East and North. What characters get added to the Boneyard this week after a Stony encounter in Valyria swaps in Jorah for a Griff? At the wall, Joanna and Neil try to make Da7e feel better about what Ollie is obviously being used for and we quickly touch on if we’re gonna make it to Oldtown later on down the line. Stannis and his group are leaving the wall and everything that happens at Winterfell is foreign to us, so that begins the big kick-off of this week’s crackpot theories. Where will Stannis meet the Boltons? Who dies where? When should we resume Stoneheart watch?

STORM OF SPOILERS – Olly, Fetch My Sword (Why’d You Have To Kill My Girlfriend)?
A PODCAST FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE ALL CAUGHT UP AND WANT TO TALK ABOUT SPOILERS
With Joanna Robinson from Vanity Fair, Dave Gonzales from Geek.com and Neil Miller from Film School Rejects!

This podcast includes some harsh language. But no man-butt. So you’re probably ok.
Joanna, Neil and Da7e finally get to talk about the religions of Westeros as we have our first episode where – for the briefest of moments – everyone we love gets off their Season 3 boats. Arya serves the many-faced God but can’t ditch Needle, Cersei begins to try to wield the High Sparrow against her enemies and HOW HARD WOULD IT HAVE BEEN TO KEEP SER POUNCE?!?! All that plus a discussion of how maybe Sansa isn’t in as much trouble with Ramsey as we might fear and Neil and Joanna tell Da7e who Young Griff is and why he’s probably ready for the Boneyard.
Joanna mentions a re-capper she likes in this episode. You can find those posts here.
Synopsis(es?) have been released for future episodes. That means we can mention them! Those are here.

STORM OF SPOILERS – Burning Books Is For Nazis, Neil
A PODCAST FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE ALL CAUGHT UP AND WANT TO TALK ABOUT SPOILERS

THIS podcast includes some harsh language. But no man-butt. So you’re probably ok.
Welcome Back! Joanna, Neil and Da7e are back to talk about Game of Thrones again! Arya gets off her boat, which means we get to talk about her discoveries in Braavos and a show-only conspiracy theory that wonders if he could be Syrio as well. Does Arya have a death-obsessed Guardian Angel or are all Starks now Neos of the Game of Thrones world where they’re super important to all sides? Then, more odd conspiracy theories about just how devious Cersei is: just how much are we supposed to think about a collapsing box? Da7e momentarily mistakes DS9’s Doctor Bashir for BSG’s Gaius Baltar (it’s actually Gout Payne, Lord of the House of Payne, who ironically cannot “Jump Around”). But most importantly: WHAT IS THE GREY WEDDING AND WHY DO WE WANT IT?!
Plus, as always: #STONEHEARTTRUTHERS
