On August 18th we will be interviewing George RR Martin and then watching episode 1 of House of the Dragon at his theater Jean-Cocteau cinema immediately after!
He has seen the ep already but not the full final cut with CGI and music. He wasn't able to attend the live premiere in LA because he got covid (which he is over now). So we'll be experiencing the full first watch in the same room with the man himself.

A castle built into a volcano with many secrets yet to uncover. From the tunnels and Targaryen tombs, to the Painted Table to the territory it controls. The various rulers from Stannis to Aegon to Aenar the Exile, and why it was chosen by the Freehold. As usual we consider what might be next, for example what will happen when Daenerys goes there? It will be our first time with a POV with access to the hidden inner places.

With guest Grey Waste Tim we discuss the biggest power in the Shivering Sea: Ibben. From the fall of their God-Kings, wars with Sarnor and the Dothraki, and exploring regions that Westeros knows little to nothing of, there's a lot to say about these secretive yet frequently seen people. Included are discussions on the influence of Tolkien, Lovecraft and IRL Neanderthals.
