  We are so Ready! We have read and reread Fire and Blood as well as The World of Ice and Fire in order to get super ready for the premiere of HBO's House of the Dragon. It's been over 3 years since we've said goodbye to some of our favorite characters when Game of Thrones went crashing down in a blaze of Sh ..... (I'm not going to go there. Woo Sah. I'm getting over it, I promise.) But if anyone has restored my faith that they will get it right this time - it's HBO. They have taken every possible chance to prove to GRRM that they will not blow it this time. I think they deserve our attention. Plus, the Dance of the Dragons is one of the most entertaining and compelling stories within the Westerosi Lore. There's fire in my blood just thinking about the solid 3 seasons of amazing tv we have in store for us. Let's get down to business... With that being said, Janae and I are going to be glued to the couch every Sunday night in o

  Hello, Weirdos! Who is ready for Summer Vacation? 🤚✋🏾 We are!! After you're done making your plans for some outdoor fun, take some time to enjoy our podcast & outline as we discuss Ep4 of  Showtime ’s  The Man Who Fell To Earth Director: Alex Kurtzman Writers: Alex Kurtzman & Jenny Lumet (Walter Tevis himself actually writes 3 episodes) Producers:  Adrian Kelly, Jane Maggs & Bill Wolkoff Before we get started… After finally finishing the book, and doing some reading online, I realized now why we thought he was just going to take water to Anthea - because that’s what the movie was portraying.  They never say anything about his actual plan of infiltrating the world’s governments. And we finished the movie before finishing the book. The tv show is definitely sticking closer to the movie than they are the book, but sometimes they go with the book canon.   Like - the movie doesn’t make it all that clear that Newton has gone bl

  Hello, Weirdos! How are we doing on this fine day? Mercury in Retrograde has just begun, is it kicking your ass yet? While you're picking your hind parts up off the ground, here's our outline to discuss Ep3 of Showtime ’s  The Man Who Fell To Earth Chiwetel Ejiofor as the Anthean alien Faraday on ShowTime's The Man Who Fell To Earth Director: Alex Kurtzman Writers: Alex Kurtzman & Jenny Lumet (Walter Tevis himself actually writes 3 episodes) Producers:  Adrian Kelly, Jane Maggs & Bill Wolkoff Before we get started… We would like to mention a quick correction for our previous podcast, because through continued reading, I discovered that T.J.’s true motivation is not to just gather info, not to bring water back to Anthea - it’s to bring the very last of his species (which in the book he says it’s down to 300, in the show Faraday says they’re down to a few thousand) to Earth in order to infiltrate governments, companies, and militaries in
