Men shouldn’t be allowed to talk about ASOIAF
No offense meant to occasional gents. This is the only GOT/ASOIAF podcast I can bear to listen to because there are just so many terrible takes out there, especially from men. I saw some of them had left bad reviews in this pod so I felt compelled to leave my own review to drown out their lack of imagination and fun. This podcast does a great job of diving into character and inferring plot and meaning from there instead of the logic gymnastics some dudebros do to make characters fit in with their fan theories. I only read ASOIAF after season 8 aired because I was so devastated and yet haunted by that ending that I needed to get to the bottom of the source material myself. Imagine my surprise when the books were not as twincests had described them on Twitter. In all seriousness, I know you all hate the show, and are well justified in the feeling, but I wanted you to know that it IS possible to fall in love with Jaime and Brienne without reading the books first. I was so pleasantly surprised when I read the books because while J/B and other characters ARE quite different (read: better) in them, it was like the best bits of the admittedly flawed show characters come to life. Anyway I will refrain from waxing poetic about Brienne’s vulnerability or Jaime’s cruel wit, but I want to thank you guys for being my book club when I didn’t have one, and for often validating my book opinions when dudebros don’t. Please don’t leave me before Winds comes out, aka never.

It just became non stop scathing complaining about the show. I found it really annoying. Here's an idea, if you don't like the...Read full review »

Thank you to all the Ladies and the few gents that are able to give us an unpretentious look at the wonderful world of ASOIAF through the eyes of fans of Jamie and Brienne.

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. They also never seem interested in anything...Read full review »
