- Love These Guys
I’ve been listening to this podcast for years now — longer than I sometimes realize. I originally found them when they were reviewing Game of Thrones. I came to the show late (around season six), but listening to their episode breakdowns while catching up made the experience even better.

Love this show. I’m the kind of person who overanalyzes my favorite series. Constantly thinking through character motivations, story arcs, and trying to put myself in their shoes. Ross and Barrett make that so easy. They don’t just recap, they add depth and point out layers I completely missed.
Whether you listen along with each episode as you watch or binge the show first and circle back to the podcast, you really can’t go wrong. It’s a solid choice either way.
