Spoilers, profanity, Jaime x Brienne. Surprise, we're all charmed by Lyonel's “come home with me” pillow talk, but we're split on his anti-Targ agenda. Do Maekar and Dunk have a trauma bond? Bring on the additions if they're like this Egg contemplating murdering Aerion scene—we're leaning into it like Egg leaning into Maekar. Like Dunk, we're all a little melancholy as we say goodbye to Ser Arlan, but at least Sweetfoot gets a happy ending in her apple orchard. AKotSK. A Song of Ice and Fire.

Craig Elsten and Chris Reed are back to discuss the entire first season of the new Game of Thrones spin-off, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. In the opening segment, the guys discuss the show generally, without spoilers, including the excellent casting decisions made. Then, they break down the plot of the show and look ahead to how they hope it will keep its tone in future seasons.
A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS (oder doch NINE KINGDOMS?) geht mit dem Staffelfinale vorerst zuende. Daher setzen sich Alper, Xenia und Jonas zusammen, um gemeinsam von unserem geliebten Heckenritter Duncan dem Großen, seinem Knappen Egg und all den anderen lieb gewonnenen Figuren Abschied zu nehmen. In der letzten Folge der HECKENRITTER-Adaption betrauern alle den Ausgang des Urteils der Sieben und stellen sich einer ungewissen Zukunft in den Sieben bzw. Neun Königslanden. Die Serie um Dunk und Egg scheint das GAME-OF-THRONES-Fandom geheilt zu haben. Woran genau das liegt bequatschen die drei Westeros-Mäuse ausführlich und geben uns ein finales Fazit zur gesamten Staffel. Übertrifft sie vielleicht sogar ihre Buchvorlage? Findet es heraus in dieser neuen Folgenbesprechung bei CINEMA STRIKES BACK! Viel Spaß und Valar Morghulis!
Host Victor records a combined podcast episode (delayed by illness and heavy snow) covering multiple shows, with timestamps promised in show notes. He gives a spoiler-free endorsement of the Night of the Seven Kingdoms finale, praising its more humane, character-focused close and calling several scenes among the best in the Game of Thrones universe. Victor then delivers an in-depth recap of Industry season 4 episode 7 (“Points of Emphasis”), focusing on Yasmin and Henry's unraveling marriage and Henry's dependence on Yasmin to “mother” him. A letter from Whitney is framed as a strategic document meant to implicate Henry in Tender's crisis. Victor emphasizes the episode's themes of narrative as reality in finance and politics, comparing it to real-world corporate valuations and acquisitions, and arguing the economy often runs on belief and storytelling. He outlines Harper's strategy to attack Tender via press and political leaks, Yasmin's manipulation of tabloids and MPs to force a new audit, and internal government backstabbing within the ruling party. Whitney and Henry fly to New York to pitch an overpaying acquisition of PeerPoint to avoid scrutiny, but Whitney is threatened by Ferdinand over the value of Tender's data set. At the PeerPoint meeting, Whitney's claim that shell companies give him standing is later revealed as a lie; PeerPoint used Tender's bid to raise another offer. Whitney disappears, and Tender's stock collapses after the government imposes a full PricewaterhouseCoopers audit, implying Harper's short will pay off. The episode ends with a key Yasmin–Harper reconciliation, mutual admiration, and a club scene where they promise to “have each other's back” and share a nonsexual kiss. Victor is then joined by Alan, who discusses watching Night of the Seven Kingdoms weekly, contrasting it favorably with House of the Dragon. They praise the show's intimate scale, character focus, and finale highlights (Dunk and Arlan under the tree, recurring knighting motifs, Lionel's complexity, Baelor's reflections, Maekar's confession and request to protect his son, Egg's hair reveal, and the “Nine Kingdoms” joke). They note the penultimate episode's violence escalation, discuss criticisms such as “fridging,” and comment on the show's six short episodes and Warner Brothers' stated goal of annual seasons. They move to Paradise season 2 episodes 1–3. They recall Paradise season 1's surprise sci-fi twist and word-of-mouth success, noting the new official podcast. Episode 1 (“Graceland”) follows a new character, portrayed by Shailene Woodley in the present, with flashbacks to her youth and medical training; she lives at Graceland during the early apocalypse, meets Link and his group (who subvert expectations by not being predatory), has sex with Link, becomes pregnant, and hears discussion of a Colorado bunker and an instruction to kill “Alex.” She later sees a burning plane and rides out, leading into episode 2. Episode 2 centers on Xavier's post-bunker flight, crash, encounters with a group of children, and a violent confrontation with an armed adult; Victor and Alan like some flashback material (including Xavier meeting his wife) but find the “lost kids” plotline less compelling. Episode 3 returns to the bunker's politics: the new president proposes “summer” as a quality-of-life change, Sinatra interrogates Jane with a polygraph, and multiple characters experience nosebleeds and visions tied to “Project Alex,” quantum entanglement, and a newly introduced “Venus effect” threat. Alan criticizes implausible plot points, including a bar-room corporate signature transfer and the president's assassination staging, where Jane appears incompetent and relies on convenience to frame Sinatra. The episode ends with Cal's son detained and brought to a secured area connected to Project Alex, while Victor and Alan speculate the season may introduce time-travel elements. They plan to continue weekly discussions when Darren returns. mailto:needssomeintroduction@gmail.com 00:00 Show Packed Preamble 02:37 Industry Episode Setup 02:45 Yasmin and Henry Fallout 09:50 Faith Economy Digression 16:46 Whitney Pitch and PurePoint 22:13 Political Backstabbing Plot 30:34 New York Threats and Data 34:03 Deal Collapses and Aftermath 36:26 Yasmin Harper Bonding 40:14 Alan Joins and 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' 49:02 Stakes and Spoilers 50:27 Pilot to Finale Shift 52:41 Budget and Battle Clarity 54:20 Fridging and Prequel Pitfalls 57:01 Finale Craft and Knighthood 01:04:10 George Martin Delays 01:08:09 Thrones Ending Debate 01:10:38 Finale Scene Highlights 01:15:00 Maekar Confession Scene 01:16:31 Spotting a Chameleon Actor 01:17:23 Egg's Hair Horror 01:18:08 Finale Tag Debate 01:20:35 Nine Kingdoms Math 01:23:00 Wrap Up and Switch Shows 01:23:30 Paradise Premise and Twist 01:26:26 Fogelman and This Is Us Tone 01:28:37 Pulpy Fun vs Prestige Drama 01:30:48 Eighty Songs Running Gag 01:31:50 Dewey Decimal Theory 01:33:20 Season Two Twist Speculation 01:34:48 Graceland Episode Breakdown 01:38:49 Apocalypse POV and Plot Holes 01:41:31 How Long Would You Survive 01:43:20 Prepping Books and Faraday Plans 01:45:15 Population Collapse Thought Experiment 01:46:29 Gail Dies and Link Arrives 01:47:11 Tactical Crew Subversion 01:48:56 One Night Pregnancy Debate 01:49:57 Messiah Parallel and Awkward Sex 01:52:22 Body Hair Realism and Hesitation 01:55:39 Burning Plane and Horse Return 01:58:21 Nosebleeds and Time Fugue 02:00:20 Xavier Crash and Lost Boys 02:03:54 Flashback Romance and Blindness 02:07:07 Swamp Fight and Kid Brutality 02:10:15 Back to Bunker Politics 02:12:54 Climate Control Logic 02:14:15 Diplomacy Fail Fallout 02:16:08 Venus Effect Escalation 02:18:19 Quantum Entanglement Talk 02:21:42 Billy Hitman Flashback 02:23:11 Barroom Paperwork Nitpick 02:26:16 Polygraph Loophole Bug 02:28:35 Nosebleeds and Visions 02:30:44 President Assassination Setup 02:34:54 Project Alex and Wrap Up

Podcast dedicado al análisis de El Caballero de los Siete Reinos (A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms), la producción de HBO basada en los Cuentos de Dunk y Egg. A diferencia de Juego de Tronos o La Casa del Dragón, la producción se diseñó con un enfoque más "íntimo" y de menor escala, utilizando menos sets digitales masivos para centrarse en la narrativa de carretera de los personajes. George R.R. Martin figura como guionista y productor ejecutivo junto a Ira Parker (quien ya escribió para La Casa del Dragón). La primera temporada adapta específicamente El caballero errante, la primera de las tres novelas cortas publicadas, estructurando la serie para cubrir un relato por temporada.

The first season of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms comes to a thoughtful close. In this episode of Streaming Things, Kit, Andy, and Steve break down the season finale, “The Morrow.” In the aftermath of tragedy at Ashford, the weight of recent events hangs heavy over the tourney grounds. As the realm mourns a great loss, Dunk reflects on everything he's endured - and faces a defining choice about his future, including whether Egg will remain by his side as his squire. It's a quiet, emotional finale that looks forward as much as it looks back, and the boys dig into what it all means for Dunk, Egg, and the road ahead.00:00:00 - Introduction00:05:36 - Introduction00:10:03 - Overall Thoughts00:29:37 - Scene by Scene Recap01:10:19 - Valyrian Steals01:16:52 - Dragon Eggs01:25:31 - Future Spoilers Discussion!!!01:35:55 - End Spoilers Talk01:36:51 - Mummer's DragonVideo Version of this Episode: YouTubeFollow Us on Social MediaStreaming Things PatreonStreaming Things InstagramStreaming Things TikTokFollow Kit LazerTikTokInstagramYouTubeFollow SteveInstagramFollow AndyInstagramVisit Our WebsiteCheck Out Our MerchSend Us Mail:Streaming Things6809 Main St. #172Cincinnati, OH 45244 Hosted on Acast.

What does it really mean to own your fertility? In this episode, we're joined by Dr. Jaime Knopman from CCRM Fertility of New York and author of Own Your Fertility, for a candid conversation about egg freezing, fertility preservation, and grief. Dr. Knopman shares what inspired her to write the book, who it's for, and why fertility preservation can be one of the first acts of agency in reproductive health. We unpack common misconceptions about egg freezing. The conversation also turns to a topic often left unspoken: fertility-related grief. Dr. Knopman reflects on how grief shows up when timelines shift and how patients can hold both hope and loss at the same time. This episode is for anyone navigating fertility decisions, questioning timing, or seeking clarity and compassion along the journey. Own Your Fertility is now available on Amazon!

Poor embryo development is not random. And "it just didn't work" is not an explanation. If your embryos stopped growing on Day 3 or Day 5, you've likely been told some version of the same thing. Bad luck. Egg quality. Try again. But Day 3 vs Day 5 embryo arrest are not interchangeable events. The timing carries biological clues. And when those clues are ignored, couples often repeat cycles without addressing what actually shaped the outcome. In this episode, we break down what early arrest, later arrest, and repeating arrest patterns may be signaling and how to think more clearly before your next attempt. In this episode, you'll learn: Why Day 3 embryo arrest often reflects maternal energy and developmental support patterns Why Day 5 embryo arrest often leans toward paternal or combined biological coordination How sperm contribution becomes more influential as embryo activation progresses Why repeating embryo arrest is usually a shared systems pattern, not a single isolated issue How to use embryo timing as data instead of accepting vague explanations I'm Sarah Clark, founder of Fab Fertile and host of Get Pregnant Naturally. For over a decade, my team and I have reviewed hundreds of low AMH and failed IVF cases using functional testing alongside conventional fertility care. We specialize in helping couples identify the physiological patterns driving poor outcomes so decisions are grounded in interpretation, not guesswork. If you've been moving from cycle to cycle without a clear way to evaluate what's actually been addressed, I created a free resource called the Embryo Audit Checklist. It helps you organize past cycles and labs so you can see what's been looked at and what may not have been considered yet. Access it here.

Martin's Tales of Dunk and Egg novellas, the series trades sprawling wars for intimate character-driven storytelling, exploring honor, loyalty, and political intrigue across the Seven Kingdoms.

Get ready to glue yourselves to the couch! ... or the screen or whatever lol The mid-season finale of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms hit, where Ser Duncan the Tall and his tiny future-king sidekick, Egg, are probably going to trip over some political intrigue. Expect high drama before the show takes a much-needed nap.Meanwhile, Godzilla and King Kong are apparently not done stomping cities. Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Season 2 is promising more Kaiju action—because nothing solves a plot problem like a giant lizard with atomic breath.And finally, the live-action One Piece Season 2 is setting sail, ready to prove that Hollywood can, in fact, get anime right... at least twice. Get ready for more Luffy, more stretchy shenanigans, and hopefully, no more disappointing pirate hair.Basically, your streaming queue is about to get very, very crowded with epic fantasy, monster smashing, and a boatload of pirates. Enjoy!youtube.com/thenewblerdorder✨ Knight of the Seven Kingdom Mid-Season Finale, Monarch Season 2, One Piece Season 2 & more!!
Nothing was the same.Ebube, Afam and Soonen get together to attend a dragon's funeral. As they do, they contemplate the aftermath of last week's events and examine each character's perspective on the deep loss — particularly Dunk and Valarr — before dissecting Maekar's point of view to get to the meat of why he makes his offer to Dunk.They discuss Egg, as well as his drip and the reason he does what he does at the end of the episode. They also talk about why this season worked, what Emmy category it belongs in, and why we'll be seated front and center for the next one no matter what.You can support us hereAlso available on YouTubeHost: Ebube Ubochi Guests: Afam and SoonenProduction by: Ebube Ubochi
Few episodes of television have ever balanced science fiction, romance, suspense, and raw emotional catharsis as perfectly as “The Constant.” In a season built on urgency and fractured timelines, this hour becomes something deeper: a love story disguised as a time-travel thriller.When Desmond Hume begins unsticking from time after leaving the Island by helicopter, his consciousness violently flashes between 1996 and 2004. The rules are murky, the stakes lethal. Guided by physicist Daniel Faraday, Desmond learns he needs a “constant” — a person anchored in both timelines — or his mind will burn out.That constant is Penny Widmore.What follows is the show's most unforgettable sequence: a cross-cut phone call that bends time but lands with devastating emotional clarity. When Penny answers the phone on Christmas Eve, eight years after Desmond last saw her, the sci-fi scaffolding falls away and we're left with something timeless — longing, regret, and love refusing to be erased by physics.“The Constant” is often called the best episode of Lost, and for good reason:It proves the show's mythology works best when grounded in human stakes.It rewards long-term investment in character arcs.It delivers one of television's most emotionally satisfying payoffs.It shows how genre storytelling can be intimate rather than bombastic.It's not just clever — it's moving. Not just ambitious — but precise. The kind of episode that reminds you why serialized television can feel transcendent.And that brings us to A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms — the quiet miracle none of us saw coming.After the divisive ending of Game of Thrones, many fans felt unmoored. The political grandeur and moral complexity that once defined Westeros seemed swallowed by spectacle. For some, the magic was gone.Then came Dunk and Egg.Set decades before the War of the Five Kings, the series trades apocalyptic stakes for something far more intimate: honor, loyalty, friendship. Ser Duncan the Tall isn't playing the game of thrones — he's trying to survive it with decency intact. And young Aegon V (Egg) brings a hopeful lens to a world we thought we understood.Like “The Constant,” A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms succeeds because it remembers what made its universe powerful in the first place: character over chaos. It slows down. It breathes. It lets moments land. Instead of chasing shock value, it rebuilds trust through sincerity.Where “The Constant” showed that Lost was never really about the Island but about connection, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms reminds us that Westeros was never just about who sits the Iron Throne — it's about the people wandering the roads beneath it.Both stories strip away the noise.Both center emotional anchors.Both prove that spectacle means nothing without heart.And in doing so, they resurrect something precious: belief.Belief that television can still surprise us.Belief that long-form storytelling can still move us.Belief that love — whether across time or across kingdoms — is the only constant that matters.Be sure to keep coming back every week for more great content, only on the #talkintvpodcast

In Nerd Culture #247 schakelen we weer moeiteloos tussen nostalgie, industriepolitiek en pure franchise-chaos. Van Ted Lasso en X-Men: Days of Future Past tot nieuwe trailers van o.a. Star Wars: The Mandalorian & Grogu en opvallende studio-ontwikkelingen: het is zo'n aflevering waarin alles tegelijk gebeurt. We praten over AI-deepfakes die acteurs digitaal kapen, over George R.R. Martin die liever een film dan een serie wilde voor A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, en over Marvel dat Thor blijkbaar nog lang niet laat gaan.Ondertussen schuiven grote spelers als Warner, Paramount en Netflix opnieuw met miljarden, krijgt Resident Evil een creatieve reset en dromen makers hardop van een rauwe, horror-achtige Terminator. Kortom: dit is weer een week waarin popcultuur niet alleen entertainment is, maar ook een schaakbord. Welkom bij Nerd Culture #247.Seeddance 2.0 imponeert maar zet industrie op scherpIn deze aflevering duiken we in een onderwerp dat de film- en tv-industrie opnieuw op scherp zet: AI versus acteurs. ByteDance, het moederbedrijf van TikTok, lanceerde met Seedance 2.0 een AI-videomodel dat realistische scènes genereert met herkenbare acteurs — zónder toestemming. Denk aan deepfakes van grote sterren en iconische personages die vrij circuleren alsof het publiek domein is. SAG-AFTRA spreekt van “blatant infringement” en ook Disney en de Motion Picture Association trekken fel van leer. Het gaat hier niet alleen om copyright, maar om consent, compensatie en de toekomst van menselijk talent in een tijdperk waarin technologie steeds overtuigender wordt. Is dit innovatie, of gewoon digitale roofbouw op creativiteit? In Nerd Culture bespreken we wat hier écht op het spel staat — juridisch, cultureel en moreel.A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms moest eigenlijk een film zijnDaarnaast bespreken we een opvallend detail rond A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: George R.R. Martin had eigenlijk liever een speelfilm gezien in plaats van een zesdelige HBO-serie. Volgens showrunner Ira Parker was Martins oorspronkelijke voorkeur een twee uur durende film over Dunk en Egg, maar HBO stuurde aan op een serieformat — en die strijd verloor hij. Wat betekent dat voor het verhaal? We praten over de keuze voor wekelijkse releases, de kortere afleveringen en het bewuste besluit om het verhaal strak vanuit Dunk's perspectief te houden, zonder zijpaden. Tegelijk werpen we een blik op de bredere toekomst van Westeros, want terwijl Dunk & Egg een serie werden, zou Aegon's Conquest misschien wél als grootschalige film kunnen eindigen. De vraag is dus: werkt deze intiemere aanpak beter voor Westeros… of had Martin toch gelijk?Timestamps:00:00:00 Nerd Culture #24700:00:00 Huishoudelijke Mededeling00:02:22 Wat hebben we gekeken / gelezen / geluisterd00:02:43 Ted Lasso00:07:35 Train Dreams00:10:53 X-Men: Days of Future Past00:18:23 A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms00:21:23 Stripboek00:24:30 Pressure Trailer00:27:00 Robert Duvall overleden (The Godfather, Apocalypse Now)00:29:14 Tom Cruise vs Brad Pitt deepfake video00:29:50 SAG-AFTRA vs ByteDance – Seedance 2.0 AI controverse00:38:40 Oproep aan Muppetmakers00:41:15 Warner Bros in gesprek met Paramount over overname00:45:00 Toy Story 5 Trailer00:47:47 Super Bowl Half-Time Show 199500:51:05 George R.R.

Hey everyone! We've got a packed episode for you this week as we dive into two very different worlds of storytelling.First up, we're talking about Crime 101, a thriller that's been getting buzz for its fresh take on the crime genre. We'll break down the plot twists, discuss the performances, and debate whether it lives up to the hype.Then we're heading back to Westeros with HBO's A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. This prequel series takes us about a century before the events of Game of Thrones, following the adventures of Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire Egg as they navigate the Seven Kingdoms during a more "peaceful" time (as peaceful as Westeros gets, anyway).

Robert Duvall Passed Away at 95, and it Seems too Soon This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl honor the legendary Robert Duvall, break down the latest Warner Bros. Discovery and Skydance merger talks, and review the penultimate episode of HBO's A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. Corporate power plays and Westerosi lances collide. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 Robert Duvall: 3:51 Warner Bros/Skydance: 9:07 A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: 23:43 Robert Duvall January 5, 1931 – February 15, 2026 Robert Duvall was one of the defining American actors of the modern era. A founding member of the American Film Theatre movement and a classmate of Dustin Hoffman and Gene Hackman at the Neighborhood Playhouse, Duvall built a career on discipline, restraint, and volcanic presence. Career Highlights: Tom Hagen in The Godfather (1972) and The Godfather Part II (1974) – The calm consigliere in a world of chaos. Controlled, intellectual menace. Lt. Colonel Bill Kilgore in Apocalypse Now (1979) – “I love the smell of napalm in the morning.” One of cinema's most iconic performances. Oscar Winner for Tender Mercies (1983) – Best Actor for his deeply human portrayal of a broken country singer. The Great Santini (1979) – A towering, volatile performance that earned him an Academy Award nomination. Lonesome Dove (1989) – Cemented his legacy in the Western genre. Later career standouts: The Apostle (which he also wrote and directed), Open Range, The Judge. Duvall's strength was subtle authority. He never chased flash. He built characters from the inside out. In an industry obsessed with volume, he mastered quiet. Hollywood didn't just lose a legend. It lost a craftsman. https://variety.com/2026/film/news/paramount-skydance-response-warner-bros-discovery-deal-talks-1236665757/ Warner Bros./Skydance Will They/Won’t They Warner Bros. Discovery has reportedly reopened acquisition discussions with Skydance and Paramount, injecting fresh volatility into an already chaotic media landscape. Paramount previously floated a $30 per share offer, potentially rising to $31. Meanwhile, shareholder votes and competing interests continue to complicate the picture. This is consolidation round… what, 47? The real question is what this means for IP control, franchise strategy, and the long-term survival of mid-budget filmmaking. Every merger promises “synergy.” Historically, synergy often translates to layoffs, canceled projects, and fewer creative risks. We break down what this could mean for DC Studios, HBO prestige content, and the streaming wars at large. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (HBO Max) Season 1, Episode 5 (Penultimate Episode) Episode Title: “In the Name of the Mother” Directed by: Owen Harris Written by: Hiram Martinez & Ti Mikkel and Ira Parker Summary: The trial of seven begins. In the first charge, Aerion knocks Dunk off his horse. In a series of flashbacks to Dunk’s childhood, he and his friend Rafe scavenge from a battlefield. They return to Flea Bottom in King’s Landing and pickpocket from Alester, a City Watchman. Dunk and Rafe attempt to buy passage to the Free Cities in Essos, but cannot afford it. Alester corners them and takes their money. Rafe steals Alester’s dagger, but he notices and slits her throat. Arlan emerges from a tavern and kills Alester, saving Dunk, who then follows Arlan on his travels. In the present, Dunk duels Aerion on foot until both men collapse from injury. After Dunk falls unconscious, Aerion declares him dead. Egg begs Dunk to get up, and the crowd chants for Dunk as he stands. Dunk and Aerion resume their duel until Dunk gets the upper hand. Aerion yields and withdraws his accusation. In the aftermath, Beesbury and Hardyng are confirmed as killed. Dunk pledges fealty to Baelor. Raymun and Pate help Baelor remove his helmet, which Maekar struck with his mace during the trial, revealing a fatal wound. Baelor collapses from his injury and dies in Dunk’s arms. The jousting sequences are shot with brutal realism. Armor feels heavy. Impacts feel dangerous. The episode underscores a central thesis of Martin's work: nobility is aspirational, not guaranteed. Key Cast: Peter Claffey as Ser Duncan the Tall Dexter Sol Ansell as Prince Aegon “Egg” Targaryen Finn Bennett as Aerion Targaryen Bertie Carvel as Baelor Targaryen Sam Spruell as Maekar Targaryen Production Notes: The series distinguishes itself from House of the Dragon by focusing on intimate political storytelling rather than large-scale spectacle. The penultimate episode prioritizes character psychology, legacy, and the myth of knighthood over spectacle-driven chaos.
