And we’re back! After nearly a year of waiting Game of Thrones returns and SRM is there to spend most of the time talking about Sansa again. Not really. This episode covers Season 5 Epsiode 1 entitled “The Wars to Come”. General consensus was a it was a good episode, but a bit calm after last season’s game changing moves. The title of the episode is pretty telling that that would probably be the case. We’re setting everything up. This podcast got a bit messy at times, but we’ll do what we can to reign it in so things are a bit less clunky moving forward. That said, it’s a great discussion that’s full of a lot of really great points, predictions and bits from everyone in what is probably our longest podcast yet. Plus, you get the sweet sounds of Roose and The Bolt Hens playing us out. Enjoy, rate and review!

This year an unofficial sponsor of the podcast is the Philadelphia Rennaissance Faire which will be in Philly May 16th and 17th. Game of Thrones’ Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson (The Mountain) will be appearing this year and there’s lots of really cool opportunities to see and interact with him, so head over to PhillyRenFaire.com for more details!
