GoT Thrones?: A Game of Thrones Podcast

Alex and star of Funny or Die's "Gay of Thrones" Jonathan Van Ness gab about "Gay of Thrones," his new podcast, "Getting Curious" and, of course, the haps in the Seven Kingdoms circa Season 5 and what we might expect in Season 6. What we know for certain? Loras needs to stay pretty and Anastasia (Romanov) was more than just a cartoon, y'all. -------------------------------------- This is the GoT T...

Welcome to the first of three Season 5 Catch-Up episodes to prepare us all for Season 6 of HBO's "Game of Thrones"! In the first installment, actress/producer and founding member of Team Unicorn, Rileah Vanderbilt stops by to chat about everything that went down last year in Essos, specifically with Dany, Ary and Tyrion. We also get into the new biweekly science show Rileah's executive producing f...

Johnny and Alex return from their triumphant trip to SVCC to discuss episode 8 of season 3 of HBO's "Game of Thrones," "Second Sons." This is the one where Gendry makes the colossal mistake of not establishing a safe word with Melisandre, Dany acquires some new muscle... naked..., and Tyrion and Sansa have the BEST. WEDDING. EVER. Oh, Cersei threatens Margery's life because, #SISTERHOOD. ---------...

Alex and Johnny sit down with David J. Peterson, conlanger and creator of the Dothraki and Valyrian languages for HBO's "Game of Thrones." In customary GoT Thrones? fashion, we cover a wide range of topics including but not limited to GoT, David's new documentary, "Conlanging," and Jason Momoa's flair for Dothraki. Oh, and we inspired David to create a Dothraki word for "goat town." N. B. D.  ----...

Johnny and Alex cover their top ten moments from episode 7 of season 3 of HBO's "Game of Thrones," "The Bear and the Maiden Fair." Highlights include Ygritte in the City, Bransplaining and, of course, Bart the Bear. Bart the MFin' Bear, who has a Kevin Bacon score of TWO. That's equal or better than either of ours.   ----------------------------------------------------- For the most up to date new...

Johnny and Alex discuss the masterful episode 6 of season 3 of HBO's "Game of Throne," "The Climb." The hosts agree that this was a brilliant hour of television and basically fan out over every minute from Theon's introduction to the Bolton family pastime to Edmure's... hesitant acceptance of a Frey bride to Jon and Ygritte's sweet, but doomed romance. We also mull over what a spa day in As'hai mi...

We haven't done a news ep in a minute, so here's a short one. Alex and Johnny talk about the lack of press screeners coming out for "Game of Thrones" season 6. They also talk about Ian McShane's big mouth all but spoiling the comeback of a "beloved character thought to be dead." But we kind of already knew about that one, so there's more jabber about him being placed on "American Gods." Also, Lora...

Johnny and Alex talk episode 5 of season 3 of HBO's "Game of Thrones," "Kissed By Fire." The Hound faces his fear of fire and kills Beric Dondarrion, but wait! There's more! Thoros of Myr turns out to be REALLY good at his job and brings Beric back to life making it seem like there's something to this R'Hollor guy after all. Who knew? In other news, Robb kills the Karstark, Tywin plays matchmaker...

Alex and Johnny talk episode 4 of season 3 of HBO's "Game of Thrones," "And Now His Watch is Ended." This is the one where Jeor gets stabbed in the back by a whiny dope not worth mentioning. Craster dies, too, though, so it's not ALL bad. Also, Olenna, Varys and Margery awesome all over Kings Landing, giving Sansa false hope for her future, Arya meets Berrick "Robin Hood" Dondarrion, Theon gets PU...

Alex and Johnny discuss episode 3 of season 3 of HBO's "Game of Thrones," "A Walk of Punishment." This is another kitchen sink episode, equal parts disturbing an hilarious. Theon gets near-raped and Jaime loses his hand, but Hot Pie waves an adorable goodbye, and Pod loses his V-card, so there's something for everyone. ----------------------------------------------------------- TIME CODES 00:00:00...

Johnny and Alex talk the tease of a teaser HBO released on Game of Thrones on Valentine's Day. Hope you had a significant other to share your disappointment with. They also discuss the much more satisfying promotional pics Entertainment Weekly released on February 12th.  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ For the most up to date news and informatio...

The rewatch continues with episode 2 of season 3 of HBO's "Game of Thrones," "Dark Wings, Dark Words." Despite some of the usual death and torture, this episode is positively lighthearted in the grand scheme of things. Brienne and Jaime have about ten minutes of hilarious banter before they get themselves captured, Margery shows us all what a boss looks like when she gets Joffrey to like her witho...

Johnny and Alex tackle the "Game of Thrones" season 2 finale and season 3 premiere in one episode - believe it or not, it wasn't our longest! "Valar Morghulis" is the kitchen sink episode in which every storyline but Davos' is tied up for season 2, and "Valar Doheris" is the one where that guy cuts off another guy's nipple. And then that guy thanks him for it. #unsullieddon'tcare------------------...

Johnny and Alex sit down with cosplayer Loki Hates You for a very funny and enlightening hour. We chat in-depth about the ins and outs of cosplay culture, the torturous experiences that are Ren Faires, and some good Thrones book-to-show comparisons (everyone on the show should be uglier for accuracy's sake). Put this one in your ears. You won't be sorry. For the most up to date news and informatio...

Alex and Johnny welcome guests Anthony Reyes and Rashaad Santiago from SyFy's "Face/Off"! We sit down with our two delightful guests at Cos-Losseum 2016, a cosplay convention in San Diego for an awesome discussion the show from the perspective of the makeup/fx department. To be fair, this episode turned out to be so much more than that, though. We talk Thrones theorycraft, Emilia Clarke gossip, on...

Alex and Johnny sit down with Dan Posey, founder of the Cosplay Initiative, the company behind Cos-Losseum 2016, the cosplay convention we attended this weekend. We discuss the con's origins, charitable donations, and Dan's personal cosplay preferences (step off, Superman). There's a bit of background noise due to the fact that we're recording live from the middle of the con, but the important stu...

Johnny and Alex discuss episode 9 of season 2 of "Game of Thrones" - "Blackwater." A little weary from the cosplay convention they attended this weekend (hold your applause), they decide to try out a new format this week. Instead of a straight recap, we pick our Top 10 Favorite Things from this hour chock full of comedy, gore and attempted infanticide. See the list below for guidance, and let us k...

Part. II - Alex and Johnny welcome Clotho and Guile from "Close the Door and Come Here," a "Game of Thrones"/ A Song of Ice and Fire Podcast, with leanings toward the Jaime/Brienne relationship. We thought them fitting guest hosts considering episode 8 of season 2, "The Prince of Winterfell" is the first episode that prominently features the Jaime/Brienne ship! But we covered that in Part I, so Pa...

Part. I - Alex and Johnny welcome Clotho and Guile from "Close the Door and Come Here," a "Game of Thrones"/ A Song of Ice and Fire Podcast, with leanings toward the Jaime/Brienne relationship. We thought them fitting guest hosts considering episode 8 of season 2, "The Prince of Winterfell" is the first episode that prominently features the Jaime/Brienne ship!

Here's a clip of our longest episode ever! Johnny and Alex are joined by Clotho and Guile of the "Close the Door and Come Here" podcast to discuss episode 8 of season 2 of "Game of Thrones," "The Prince of Winterfell." We had such a great time that we recorded our longest episode ever. SO, we've divided it into two parts. Part 1 will be up later today and Part 2 will be up on Thursday. Until then,...
