Game of Thrones Trilogy, Part 1: Oh my loins!

Send us a text


We leave the ballroom (for now) and venture into Westeros where
we discuss the show that brought us together - Game of
Thrones!  We had so much to say, we messed around and made a
trilogy!  


INTRO - 32:31As always, we kick off with things we
liked.  Kristine celebrated the Nationals winning the World
Series and Jocelyn applauded the magic of drag shows. 
Support your local talent and tip the drag performers
generously!  The Nationals played a double-header in the
episode, as they were also the topic of discussion for what
Kristine did not like because of their lack of solidarity with
the Mystics (who were not extended an invitation to the White
House, unlike their baseball counterparts).  Jocelyn
revisited her gripes with two repeat offenders - Karamo Brown and
people who disrespect the Emmett Till Memorial.   


32:32 - 38:09We transition into our Game of Thrones
discussion by briefly pondering what we would do if we had
dragons.  As you would expect, our responses are very on
brand.  


38:10 - ENDWe begin by sharing what drew us to Game
of Thrones.  For Jocelyn, it was the shock of Ned losing his
head.  For Kristine, it was all about her loins and the
actions of a certain naughty lion.  


Next, we get into a few noteworthy show vs. book
differences.  An exhaustive discussion of the differences
would easily give us content through 2020, so we limited our chat
to a few key differences - some we loved, some we did not. 
We then move on to what we liked about the series as a
whole.  No discussion of what we loved about the series
would be complete without a celebration of the genius of Ramin
Djawadi. Ramin got Kristine deep into her Stark feels and Jocelyn
makes an interesting revelation about which song was her favorite
to wake up to every day.  The episode, which is the first of
our three-part discussion, closes with our thoughts on what we
did not like about the series. We can love a thing and still have
criticisms to share out of love! 

We drink, we know things, and we use adult language.
