Andrew and Manu catch up with the Stark families' brief expedition away from Winterfell, where Ned Stark beheads a Night's Watch deserter, but not before he gives him a White Walker warning. Then the Stark kiddos get a bunch of direwolves pups, though they also encounter some more ominous signs. Lots to go through in just a few minutes, but join us!

Winterfell is coming. Andrew and Manu meet the Starks and check out the dynamics of the family's relationships, from Ned and Catelyn to Jon and Arya, and more. There are also much-needed words about Ser Rodrik Cassel's glorious beard, of course.

(published 1/27/2017)
This won't happen with every Game of Thrones episode, but Andrew and Manu wanted to take the time to look closer at the visuals of theme. Among the parts discussed are the astrolabe, its story of Westeros, the contrasting location highlights and sigils, casting, and Ramin Djawadi's outstanding music. There's plenty to discuss, so this episode will be longer than most, but it's worth it!

Show Notes
  • Game of Thrones meets Hyrule
  • This wasn't mentioned, but also: Thrones meets Mario
  • We are on iTunes now!

Andrew and Manu wrap up the Game of Thrones cold open's White Walker attack while taking a closer look at Waymar Royce's character, how nobles like him end up at the Wall anyway, and the perception of wildlings. Thank you to everyone for the positive feedback from our first episode! We hope to be on iTunes shortly.
