Brothers Without Banners

In this week's episode, we discuss AGOT Catelyn III, Jon III, Ned IV. The mystery of Bran's fall and attack gets into gear; Ned gets made fun of by his wife's wannabe ex-boyfriend, and Jon meets his next dad.   #GameofThrones #ASOIAF

This week, we cover Ned III and Bran III of A Game of Thrones. #ASOIAF #AGOT

This week we discuss Tyrion II, Catelyn II, and Sansa I, finally seeing our direwolf pups in action! Jon, Bran, and Arya are each saved from the terrifying threats of an actual murderer, a teenage snot, and Tyrion. We get into Tyrion and Jon's bromance, shame as a motivator (or hindrance), and Michael's love of princess stories.   #ASOIAF #GameofThrones #BrothersWithoutBannersPod

This week covers FOUR chapters--our introduction to Tyrion's headspace as he clashes with his family; Jon's grief and fear for Bran, and his love for Robb and Arya; Dany's wedding; and Ned's day trip with BFF Robert. We discuss the complicated family dynamics, Dany (and GRRM's) othering of the Dothraki--and what that might hide about Drogo and the culture--and Ned and Robert's struggle with trauma...

We experience our first Arya POV and go climbing around Winterfell with Bran, who never, ever, falls.

From time to time we plan to release bonus content discussing things we’ve read or watched recently. In our first minisode, we break down our reaction to the latest entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Full spoilers on the movie here, so tread carefully if you haven’t watched yet!

We dive into the next three chapters of A Game of Thrones, Eddard I, Jon I, and Catelyn II, and Michael learns to ALWAYS be suspicious... very suspicious.

We start our main story journey with Bran I, Catelyn I, and Dany I of A Game of Thrones, and Michael learns for the first of many times that he needs to pay attention to character descriptions!

Michael and Dan introduce themselves and the podcast, and then discuss the Prologue of A Game of Thrones.
