“I was looking for some nostalgia GOT shows. I really liked how this one started. Unfortunately…it went downhill fast. The male host constantly talks down to the female host. Their politics have seeped into the show which I hate. If I wanted politics I’d listen to a political show.
Just listen...”Read full review »

“I like Dave, Kim and Jessie a lot - I think Jessie was a great addition this year and enjoyed her and Kim’s thoughts and perspectives. Dave did much better this year - I am always good with criticism but in the past it has felt more like hate watching/listening instead of balanced criticism but...”Read full review »

“David and Kim had the best Game/Dragons cast - easily 5 stars. This New guy, adds nothing - go back to two hosts. It was way way way better. This podcast sings when Kim goes deep and David does his thing. 3rd voice only takes away from it.”

“Kim is incredible, and David is a good facilitator (albeit he skews very negative a little too often?). But I’m puzzled by the addition of a 3rd host who doesn’t seem to be adding much to the pod. No new insights or analysis or even interesting comments from Jessie so far. I’m sure she’s a lovely...”Read full review »

“lemme start by saying i am a far left liberal. However, even i am sick of pop cultures obsession with constant need to inject dime a dozen woke platitudes that were edgy on tumblr in 2014. Fantasy is supposed to be an escape from the real world.”

“Well done show by hosts with advanced knowledge of TV/film production and writing. GoT almost requires post-show analysis to fully experience this rich narrative. CoKs takes us through each episode W/o spoiling.

“Kim is great and I like David too.

“I don’t know if my taste has changed but I remember really enjoying this podcast during the GOT days. I don’t know why they drag the beginning and take forever getting to the show recap.
I have absolutely no problem with Davids actual analysis but the self involvement gets to be annoying.”

It’s a work of fiction based on a book not written in the current social climate. Maybe David could just...”Read full review »

“Great podcast for an in-depth recap of each episode. I enjoy David Chen’s nitpicking! Sometimes I miss Joanna Robinson but Kim has been great too. However I just wish anytime David addresses her she wouldn’t start her sentence with “Yeah, so…” it gets repetitive!”

“Kim is great. David, kudos for giving Kim a platform but he should shorten his rants and complete a thought faster without interrupting himself. Very frustrating. Repeating the rants over and over again is boring. I only listen to her what Kim has to say.”
