“The hosts love to attack “white men” and interspersed thinly veiled liberal talking points. The discussion about the show is pedestrian and not insightful.”

“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.”

“David is awesome and so knowledgeable abt film making. Kim is an amazing replacement for Joanna R (SNAPS!!) who has clearly cut her teeth on some expert deep-dives. Thank you for your hard work and for highlighting/enhancing the experience.”

“David and Kim, I appreciate your effort and throughly enjoyed this coverage of House of Dragons Season 1.
I have some feedback for you! Many episodes of this podcast had segments of detailed explanations of certain consumer reviews/feedback. Usually they were less than favorable, of either the...”Read full review »

“Mostly enjoyable content. Usually stays on the show and book comparisons but for some reason David feels he has to inject modern real life politics and social commentary into the discussion. It’s a work of fiction based on a book not written in the current social climate. Maybe David could just...”Read full review »

“A dragon has three heads and so does this great pod: Dave, Kim, and the listener. I appreciate the differing perspectives and lack of cowing to the uber fans. If HOTD was flawless it would only help the pod - So you know you are getting an honest take! Keep it up! Great chemistry, Keep it going...”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.”

“The hosts spend the first 15 to 20 minutes of each episode sycophantically praising each other and apologizing to listeners for previous errors, both real and imagined. The remainder of the show is a stale recap and review of HOTD as viewed through a twisted prism of wokeness. Strap in for...”Read full review »

“This could be a great podcast, but it isn’t because David Chen complains about House of the Dragon so much. So I gave up on it. This podcast is about a TV show, not art. We all know it isn’t perfect. The last thing we want is to listen to someone whine about a show that we enjoy. What we want is...”Read full review »

It’s important to me to get honest and thoughtful perspectives about the media I consume, and Dave is unflinching in providing that. Kim is a...”Read full review »

“This is a good podcast, but for someone whose job it is to do a podcast about a show, David should really have the details of the show correct. You don’t need to have read the books to keep your characters straight.

“First, let me say, Kim Renfro and Joanna Robinson before her are dynamite. I wish they would do a podcast together, I could listen to them talk for hours. They are intelligent, insightful, funny and overall a joy. Indeed, their worst decision seems to be pairing up with David Chen. I feel sorry...”Read full review »

“I really like David Chen. What he does in the film cast especially is great, but the stuff he chooses to harp on in this pod often times makes it unlistenable. The age debate in the most recent is 100 times worse than his time jump rants. The king is deteriorating because of his wounds from...”Read full review »

“David seems lost on the most obvious of facts on a show/story, making it inexplicable why he would co-host a recap podcast on HOTD. Plus he constantly seems to hate this show, raising pointless criticisms that literally no other recap podcast have objections to. Kim is great, David is trash.”

“The time jump was necessary. The first 5 episodes was a prologue. This story isn’t about Harwin and leana. It’s about the kids and we needed atleast half the season to get to know them.
