Meh
Not much good to say about this. There’s a lot of long and awkward pauses. The conversation is often very surface level, despite there being some unique takes on a lot of stuff, at times. The host nitpick everything about both the books and the show. I appreciate criticism, and there’s plenty to criticize about GoT, and I’m sure ASoIaF as well. But there is a difference between criticism and blatant hate. There’s also a difference objectively criticizing something and just bashing it because things happen that you don’t personally like. In their review of the series finale (a finale that I fully agree sucked btw), they actually defended the petition that was started to redo the last season of the show. People can criticize something until they are blue in the face, but demanding that the whole cast and crew to redo the season because it didn’t satisfy you, is childish. Period. And insulting the actors, who call you out on that childish behavior is just petty. They also never seem genuinely interested in anything they are discussing beyond the Jaime and Brienne ship. They usually sound bored, as if they don’t want to be doing the podcast. It’s just painful and cringeworthy to listen to. Don’t recommend it.
