Recently watched “The Martian” so I listened to this episode hoping for a good long review of the film and got maybe 30 min of Martian talk and 90 min of off topic ramblings. It was a hard listen, for sure. I’m super hesitant to even listen to the “project Hail Mary” pod.
I adore this podcast. Their deep dives into HOTD and the larger thrones universe are so thoughtful, well informed, and hilarious all at the same time. They balance the care that these tales deserve, with some of the funniest bits (dear me). I need to watch more of the other shows that they cover just so I can enjoy the many other rewatch podcasts they do.
Huge fan! Thank you for this💚
These are my girls. The bad babies, the fam. Hanging out with these girls, a few times a week literally brightens up my world. Finding people that care as much about stories I do is so special. Here’s to conflict and the human heart, the only thing worth writing about.
I thoroughly enjoy your Lestat recaps. Your commentary is so insightful and thought provoking. Simply fantastic!
Love the amount of effort they put into their shows . It really comes through .
