I really like this podcast but for the love of god please pronounce words correctly! You should know how to say the names and locations correctly if you have a past about it. They even mispronounced “southern”. Really?

If you have a hankering for mansplaining and mispronounced main character names, this is the podcast for you! You can even make a drinking game out of the word “leal,” assuming you don’t listen while driving.

As HOTD ends season 2 with a horrible nosedive in quality, Jim and Aron return to the denialism of GoT seasons 5 and 6, before they admitted to themselves the show was bad. “The fans are just too ignorant to understand!” “If only there were more episodes of would make sense!” “No one really...Read full review »

Nothing happened in season 2
Muhuhhahaha via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/08/24
And Valyrian rhyme with ‘Syria’ and ‘Syrian’. Valyrian and Velaryon aren’t pronounced the same. My only beef! Love the pod!

But we have to stop using the word leal. Stop trying to make leal happen, it’s not gonna happen.

Don’t understand the negative reviews…these guys are great! Highly recommend!

I typically enjoy their talks but we are in season 2. For the love of God, please pay attention to name pronunciation. Rhaenys (ray-neese) - it shouldn’t rhyme with anus Helaena (huh-lane-uh) Larysn (lair-is)

New Guest is horrific and just whines and cries about the smallest writing misses
LR712 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/18/24
Eh
The hosts come off as arrogant . The voices are kinda annoying and their love of the horrible choices the writers are making for season 2 of Hotd . I used to like the show but I find them too annoying to listen to anymore . They also didn’t accept others options and the one lead male host is so...Read full review »

Horrible Thought I was going to listwn House of Dragon. I hate this! Never
jake6198 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/15/24
One star for the incessant whinging about the ending of Game of Thrones. They sound ridiculous every time they do it.
pieceofdebri via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/13/24
I cribbed that from another reviewer because it’s spot on. House of R is so self-righteous I had to stop listening. I don’t mind the mispronunciations because, heck, aren’t we ALL mispronouncing these characters’ names and getting them mixed up? The word ‘leal’ annoys me, too, but at least...Read full review »

House of the Dragon fans, rejoice! The weekly analysis from Jim and Aron on Bald Move is an auditory adventure like no other. Every episode keeps you on your toes, never knowing when you'll be delightfully surprised by a new, inventive pronunciation of your favorite character's name. Who...Read full review »

I’ve been listener of this show since the early days... By far the best, and in my opinion, the ONLY show to listen to for analysis of the GOT and HOTD series. They watch the shows closely (multiple times), source the books, compare the differences between the shows and books, take listener...Read full review »
HH1984! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/08/24
These guys make truly weird calls. Alyn is clearly Corlys’ son, not lover. That was the last straw for me. You have to have more insight than this to do a podcast.
BrandiHandful via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/08/24
Love the boys discussing all things GOT and HOT D! Pure show watcher but love the deep book lore spewed by the bearded one. Thank you!
SlappyConQueso via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/06/24
I enjoyed the weekly analysis greatly, but there needs to be a stronger emphasis on pronunciation. We need consistent pronunciation of the names of characters, because it’s confusing enough getting the names straight. Also, it’s confusing when they are clearly referring to Varys but saying...Read full review »

Coni.Pati via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/05/24
This is the best House of the Dragon podcast by any measure. They have great insights, they know their stuff, and they’re fantastic at noticing those little things that make me rewatch the show to notice, too. LOVE this podcast!
ISpankEm via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/05/24
Very insightful and eye-opening without unnecessary detail. Funny but not snarky or mean. They take HoTD seriously but don’t take themselves too seriously. Listening to Bald Move pods doubles my enjoyment of the shows themselves. Thanks for all you do guys!
MaineMom14 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/04/24
Lending my voice to the plea to pronounce Rhaenys correctly. You do it sometimes then slip back into the mispronunciation. Instant loss of credibility.
Coooper888888 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/04/24
Great show - smart, funny, insightful, no-b.s., no-gatekeeping… love it. As with all their shows, they’re just two dudes who are really good at what they do - not industry insiders, so it is a different perspective. And they have sounded professional (good sound quality, editing, etc.) from the...Read full review »

I had to give you gentlemen a shout out. You do an excellent job, I can’t thank you enough for all the hard work you put into the show. Engaging conversation, very in depth and appreciate lore checks and detailed analysis. This has been my favorite pod for awhile now and it is absolutely...Read full review »

It’s like getting punched in the face everytime you use it and I don’t want to stop listening to the show I otherwise enjoy.
Amaaaazed via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/02/24
I couldn’t finish the episode. Just shuddering, uhh-ing constantly. Not a professional podcast.
Vgalvan18 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/01/24
I love this podcast for the show. Really great reviews and insights! I also like that they don’t give spoilers for people who have not read the book. You have to take a shot though anytime they say “leal” though.
Bigbk 5dc6 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/26/24
Once again making my week with their in-depth, amusing and insightful discussion. Knowing I have a Bald Move podcast after any show makes me enjoy the show tenfold. Keep it up Good Sers.
forthethrone via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 06/25/24
Omg this is so much better than the last two seasons of GOT and these bros are nitpicking the smallest stuff. Moving on.
ahehcnekxnsjx via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/25/24
Stop trying to make leal happen, it’s not gonna happen. You used the word around 14 times across your threefold coverage of HOTD 201 including your ad stingers. Never quicker have I learned a word and then suddenly have it not sound like anything anymore. Thanks
IIChoochII via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/22/24
Show is always top notch and definitely the best pod for any/all things in the Game Of Thrones universe. Favorite running gag is "mildly interesting"...hahaRead full review »
Dub2305 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/20/24
I’m bias because I’m a bald move subscriber but I found them through this GOT podcast several years ago. They simply are the best. There is no better GOT or HOTD coverage out there
chris justis via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/09/24
Dropped it another star. Now it is simply leftist bingo calling. Get you card and wait for the show. Don’t play it as a drinking game as their complete immersion in leftist culture will have you dead drunk in 15 minutes. At this point, what started as a really great show has been killed by...Read full review »

It’s clear the host has run out of ideas…boring and bland if you’ve listened into 23/24 #fail
Arndisney via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/04/24
OK
4 stars for the GoT chats. I enjoyed those. Even the final season. And listening to the HoTD takes was the only way I could make it through that series. Tried 3 times to get into watching it but lost the will to live each time round about episode 4, so gave up. Those wigs 😵‍💫 Matt Smith is...Read full review »

I’ve tried all kinds of different podcasts about GOT. And this is my favourite one by far. The hosts are critical, but not too much. And they give interesting analyses of the episodes combined with news and updates of both shows and books. I really love the electric bookaloo episodes as well.
kmads06 via Apple Podcasts · Denmark · 07/15/23
Enjoyed the discourse even if I didn’t agree with some. Wish they’d learn how to pronounce Rhaenys.
bsgghshhsbbhs via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/05/23
I will literally start a new series so that I can listen to their coverage. A++++++++++++
Marzipan Franzi via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/11/23
ARon and Jim are masters of the podcasting art form. The detail, humor, analysis, & overall good time they provide while breaking down all things game of thrones is amazing. Aron brings all the deep lore knowledge having read everything from the song of ice and fire universe, including...Read full review »

So cool that Fran Duffy has been joining Maester Anthony and Steve. I’m from Philly, I’ve read Fran’s work, I’ve listened to his Eagles pod. What an unexpected but very interesting connection. Curious to know how you guys got together. Idea for a fun game to bring both worlds together; Draft...Read full review »

A.Ron and Jim are the lealest in the podcast game! If starting a rewatch of any of the Baldmove covered shows I highly suggest spreading out your binge and listen to the coverage from these two. Add in the guest appearances from Dr. Anthony. No one covers this shown better, including HBO...Read full review »

Truly my favorite HOTD podcast out there. I love the thoughtful insights and chemistry between Aron and Jim. And I love it despite of Aron trolling me the entire season for being grossed out by his pronouncing of Rhaenys’ name as RAY-NUS cause it sounded like anus lol !! Which by the way, led...Read full review »

It’s baseball season I know we’re not all fans… but you guys have knocked it out of the park again. Glad to have you back in Westeros, it’s been a long, dark, cold couple of years.
mthur1531 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/01/22
Thanks guys enjoyed your podcast. Listened to GOT and came back and was more involved with the lore and maesters corner this time. Listened to a couple of others but this podcast is by far the most informative. Hosts are funny and clever without be too excessive and exaggerated. Thanks again,...Read full review »

As ever Jim and Aron produce the absolute most informative and interesting coverage of the GOT world.

The chemistry , humor, and knowledge these guys bring to the table is something to behold! Truly the best tv and movie podcast around.
