Unspoiled! A Song Of Ice And Fire

Royal councils! Secret meetings! The west wing has got nothing on this chapter of Game of Thrones. We get a full dose of Littlefinger brand snark, a little bit of eunuch powder , and just a dash of clues. Brendan and Natasha both try some stunt casting, and we brainstorm revenue gathering ideas for the seven kingdoms. That, and a lot of Lannister talk in this episode of UNSPOILED!

Episode 20! We break out the champagne and get profoundly silly as we contemplate Jon's new life on the wall. We learn what an Auroch is, disect Robin Hood: Prince of Theives for no reason, and talk Tyrion murder plots. Brendan makes a series of absurdly specific predictions, and Natasha debuts a new song parody. There's even some serious blog talk!Hope you like it! See you on Monday!

Catelyn makes it to Winterfell! We skip the sailor talk and get right into the meat of the chapter, with the first appearences of Varys and Littlefinger. We debate the correct way to duel your lost love's new fiance, then plot out epsidoe one of Law and Order: Westeros. Natasha continues her case against Catelyn, and Brendan sneaks in some obscure Dennis Hopper trivia in this episode of UNSPOILED!Tomorrow-- Jon Snow, Blog Talk, and time with Tyrion!

Dream sequence! Brendan tries to suss out what is symbolism and what is fact in Brans out of body experience, while Natasha try to goad some overly specific predictions out of him. Brendan get's a chance to talk about ancient literature and Norse Myth, Natasha tests out her singing voice, and they both turn up the drama. See you in your dreams, or in the next UNSPOILED!

Settle in to a stewpot of resentment! Arya's back, but it's no time for celebrating, it's time for litigating! It's he said she said as two noble children present their sides, and no one seems happy with the outcome. We try to find some light in the darkness in this episode of UNSPOILED! (only literary animals were harmed in the making of this episode).

Stop! Sansa time! It's not all fun and games when some childhood roughhousing turns into an assault on the royal bloodline. Never mind that the royal bloodline is a real jerk. We talk about the Westeros rap scene, a potential sit-com spinoff, and learn a little something about lying in this episode of UNSPOILED!

Assasins! Arson! Murder most foul! Catelyn goes from a total wreck to a Liam Neeson style death machine, leaving her son Robb in a real Home Alone situation. Natasha still hates Catelyn, but Brendan loves revenge. Sass talk abounds in this episode of UNSPOILED!

We're forming a caravan! We're heading to the wall! Tyrion catches up on some reading, then instead of hosting a podcast about it, he almost gets killed by a wolf. This is just one of the ways his life differs from ours.Jon Snow gets hits with a hard truth, Tyrion learns that not everyone can take a joke, and we run through all the Jurassic Park catchphrases we can think of. Listen in!

Two men, in the woods, discussing their shared past. Two podcasters, locked in a room, discussing this chapter. Dark secrets are revealed, long time feuds are re-awakened, and some stuff happens in the book too. Tune in for in depth discussion and some alarmingly inaccurate predictions, as we tackle chapter 12 of Game of Thrones in UNSPOILED!

Put on your painted vests and drink some fermented mare's milk! Ain't no party like a Dothraki party, cuz a Dothraki party you don't live through. What's happening here? Where are we? Is age nothing but a number? Will Brendan ever shut up about it? Listen in!

Jon Snow says goodbye, Catelyn drops some ice burns, and Brendan and Natasha argue sexism and foul language. 

Sound the trumpets! Our episode list has finally reached the double-digits. Huzzah!It's a great chapter to end the week on, too. We finally get the P.O.V. of a Lannister, one of the only ones that doesn't seem to be an epic asshole with no self-awareness.Brendan cheers on Tyrion for drinking beer, while Natasha cheers him on for slapping Joffrey (and then scorns him for burning his bacon on purpose like a heathen). Sound fun? It is!

It's the episode when shit gets real. 

It's Arya time!

Who killed Jon Arryn?

Jon and Tyrion FTW!

Welcome to our fifth episode! We will be taking the weekend off, so be sure to savor this Friday-morning podcast. I know you'll miss us. This chapter takes us back to Winterfell with a focus on Eddard Stark, a self-proclaimed humorless icicle man (he said humorless, I put in the icicle part). The King arrives with his posse, and we get to learn a lot of the backstory between Robert and Ned, and about Ned's family. Plus, the King makes Ned an offer her can't refuse. Listen as Brendan pitches a new domain name dedicated to King Robert (www.maidensfantasy.com) and predicts that he has syphilis, while Natasha compares Robert's job as King to Judge Judy.

PENTOS!

It's Episode Three! We're really on a roll here, guys.In this chapter we switch to the perspective of Bran's mom, Mrs. Stark (that's what they call her at the PTA meetings), and learn some more about the religions of the folks in this country, from septs to weirwoods. Ned receives the news that Jon Arryn is dead, and that the King is coming for a visit. Take a listen as Brendan, using all of his vast knowledge of Kings and their habits, makes some predictions, and Natasha talks about how big Ned's sword is.

We move into Chapter One , Where one of the Survivors from the prologue reappears, Brendan has some things to say about Thon Greyjoy and Wolverine-Moose, and Natasha cackles to herself over the hints and forshadowing.
