“Been listening to this podcast for a while so I thought it was time to give a rating. I still do enjoy it for the most part… but I think their most recent “Throner Boner” podcast episodes have revealed that they lean a little heavy on their own fandom and expectations. Don’t get me wrong, if you want to hear fun people with passionate reactions to their favorite things (movies, TV shows, games etc) this is definitely for you. Light-hearts and lots of silliness all around. However, sometimes I like a deeper dive into the material and serious analysis rather than debating super out-of-this-world fan theories like “babies in stums.” Especially when it comes to Game of Thrones because it is honestly unlike any show I’ve ever seen where you get the best of both worlds: out-of-this-world fantasy combined with the gravitas of human emotions and conflict. It becomes a little too much silliness when they talk about their frustrations over something totally irrelevant to the action or event taking place or come up with crazy theories for the sake of being funny when there are much more interesting ideas and theories that could be discussed. I will continue to listen to their podcasts but avoid their “Throner Boner” episodes because they’re not really discussing it with thought analysis, just reaction, reaction, reaction and more reaction.”
