I’m an archivist that spends a lot of my workday scanning, filing, and sorting things and you can be sure Mary and Blake are constantly on my podcast feed. The dynamic between the hosts is lovely - these two are very funny, sassy, and smart! They bring a unique perspective to their recaps, that I...Read full review »

Simply the best. Mary and Blake consistently offer informative, interesting and entertaining content. And Mary’s Dad adds an extra viewpoint. I also like their inclusion of listener commentary. Highly recommend Mary and Blake.

I love listening to Mary & Blake! I first got hooked through their This Is Us Too podcast, starting watching a little bit of Outlander because of them, and now House of the Dragon! Love their insight and the laughs along the way! Keep it up guys!

Love the commentary on the show and a few other they’ve done. Love the addition of Mary’s dad , the GbG’s are great and the listener feedback is like hearing your friends comment about the show. Team black needs an Uhtred of Bebbenaburgh and the war is won 😂

Thank you again Mary and Blake for the hour (or two) of bliss after each House of the Dragon episodes! I look forward to hearing your take just as much as I anticipate each new episode release. You add another dimension to how I watch the show and I can't help myself when I think, "Wow...Read full review »

One of the hosts is incredibly critical of and condescending to the other. It’s incredibly hard to listen to
SYSK African Enthusiast Fan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/25/24
Every episode I finish, I immediately think “what did Mary & Blake think about this episode?! Did they pick up on things I did? What did they see that I missed? And most importantly, what did Mary’s dad think?!” 😂 I cannot wait for their episode on House of the Dragon episode 6. I found them...Read full review »

I love that Mary and Blake quench my thirst for more of my favorite shows. When I’m done watching an episode I want to explore it even more, and Mary & Blake provide insights and perspectives that help to solidify how I feel about each episode. Sometimes I feel differently, sometimes I feel...Read full review »

I am such a fan of Mary and Blake - their show analysis is just the right mix of detail, observations and entertainment. This time around they are highlighting House of the Dragon and their episodes thus far in season two are illuminating. Driving home with my 19yo daughter in the car this week,...Read full review »

Love Mary & Blake! They always enhance my viewing experience 😁 Glad to be in on the conversation 😊
precious0321 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/16/24
Mary and Blake are a must have companion to every episode. As I watch, I find myself wondering what they’ll say about plot points. I love the sharing of Team Black or Team Green in each episode in addition to the GBG and flame ratings. This podcast definitely is a great addition to the Mary &...Read full review »

I was introduced to Mary and Blake by my girlfriend who is a big Harry Potter fan and has been a long time fan of the potterverse podcast! It’s made my morning commute easier listening to the banter between the hosts and I always learn more about the show when I listen to the podcast. The...Read full review »

I started listening to them with Outlander (at the beginning!) , now House of the Dragon, Bridgerton & many more! Excellent!
gymadre via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/05/24
I love the newest addition to this show, where Mary & Blake show their allegiance by the colors they wear! This is one of my fave fan podcasts! Mary’s empathy and understanding for the characters (even when she hasn’t read the books) and Blake’s attention to film/TV-making always make me say...Read full review »

Have only just discovered your wonderful podcast on the House of Dragons. It’s the best one out there. Looking forward to catching up with other shows. Your chemistry is great!
alamin via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 06/26/24
Love the show, as I have loved their other shows. Unfortunately for other TV podcasts, I compare them to what Mary and Blake have done and will likely follow them to whatever they do next. Would love it if they did something Downton Abbey or The Gilded Age or Poldark. Continue the great work.
melissajayne80 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 07/09/23
I was reading the book and I realized that the first episode of the House of the Dragon where Aemma Arryn has a C-section is actually inaccurate. They took the scene that happened to Queen Alyssa, the mother of Jaehaerys I, Alysanne and Rhaena Targaryen in the Fire & Blood book and used it in...Read full review »

Mary and Blake are the best friends you never knew you needed! Good people with an awesome sense of humor, and this is just one of their many podcasts that they do from their own home with their own self developed business! I’ve been listening to them for years, and will hopefully be listening...Read full review »

Your review left me underwhelmed. Too much talk about your distaste of men. Stick to the story
pmhwolf via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/27/22
It’s like when you and your best friends all watch the same show, then can’t wait to get together the next morning so you can all talk about the utter chaos and drama that happened in the episode the night before. That’s what it’s like with Mary & Blake. Except Mary & Blake bring together...Read full review »

Not being a GoT fan, I only gave HotD a try because I knew Mary and Blake were going to podcast about it. Turned out I really enjoyed the show but having this podcast as a companion certainly added to the experience. I love M&B dynamic! Love hearing the details of filming, lighting, etc that...Read full review »

Mary and Blake create my favorite television review podcasts! They provide entertaining analysis and insights. Listening to them enhances my experience of any show, especially one as complex and layered as House of the Dragon. Five stars!
Maura_W via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/27/22
I have listened to & enjoyed every single podcast episode of allll the podcasts that Mary & Blake have put out into the verse over the last many years — and House of the Dragon with M&B is delightful as always!

I have been listening to Mary and Blake since discovering them through their other podcast, Outlander. I enjoy their format and perfect level of humor it brings while I listen on my daily commute.

Mary and Blake provide insightful and unique commentary on HOD (and so many other shows/books). They often point out things in that I failed to see, hear or understand. They provide just the right amount of background info (without delving into spoilers). Plus, their witty back and forth banger...Read full review »
gem092011 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/26/22
In the latest episode 1.09, Blake sympathizes with Aegon saying basically he is the way he is due to not having his father’s love. Excusing all his monstrous behavior. He is not a teenage kid who acted out in high school and stayed past curfew. He is a rapist who feels no remorse for what he does...Read full review »

Love you guys. I started listening to you with Outlander and then TLK, The Crown, GOT and now HOTD. You guys are the best. I love all your stories and you seem to always make me laugh. I listen while I work (luckily from home). I was laughing hysterically with episode 1.04 of HOTD and Mary’s dad....Read full review »

So nice to hear their thoughts and insights on each episode. It’s like talking to friends about it but they always make you laugh with silly comments and silly sidesteps.

Yet another reason to love Mary & Blake, they give the people what they want! Although I will listen to them talk ab pint drying on a wall. I hope you all know how much y’all keep us all company! We need a Christmas movie review podcast with Mary’s dad!!

My favorite podcast nerd power couple is at it again! This is the perfect companion podcast for any fan of House of the Dragon. I love their intelligent insight, and they are also just straight up funny. Highly recommend this podcast!

I was able to get halfway through before turning this off.. House of the Dragon premiere review… lots of complaints about how the premiere didn’t grab them or impress them and the subtext is they liked GoT better. And that’s fine but at least have some analysis to illustrate your rationale. Case...Read full review »

Mary and Blake continue their streak of amazing podcasts! I am absolutely obsessed with everything Game of Thrones, so I love hearing their mostly ‘unsullied’ opinions, which are often quite different than others deep in the fandom. Between that and their experience analyzing television, it makes...Read full review »
