Think back to the last time you heard someone talking about Jon Snow, Danerys Targaryen, or Tyrion Lannister? Binge-watching the final season with your eyebrows permanently raised and wondering if you missed a PD session on plot twists? Maybe you were dodging spoilers like arrows at the Battle of the Bastards, or rewatching the Red Wedding to confirm that, yes, it was that traumatic. Or maybe you were listening to a trio of edu-podcasters drawing some fiery parallels between Westeros and the world of professional learning. Whatever the case may be, let's hop back on the dragon and soar into all the political intrigue, power plays, and unexpected character arcs of Game of Thrones—to revisit the connections we made back in 2021.

This week, Da7e and Neil close out their coverage of Alien: Earth season 1 with a season wrap up pod. In The Calm [05:42], they discuss some unanswered questions from the first season, read a few interesting listener theories, and hand out some end-of-season superlatives. Then in The Storm [01:07:58], they make their final predictions for a (still) theoretical season two and speculate one last time about whether we'll see an Alien/Predator crossover any time soon. Next week, Storm of Spoilers is off as the pod shifts gears, but will return the following week to begin preparations for It: Welcome to Derry, which premieres on HBO at the end of October. This week's episode is sponsored by Alien: Rogue Incursion - Evolved Edition, coming September 30th to consoles and PC.

We've all heard the promises of The Secret. If you think positive thoughts and raise your frequency, you can have, be, and do anything you want. But what happens when your nervous system is stuck in trauma and doesn't feel safe enough to receive? That's when manifestation stops working and survival mode takes over. In this episode of Food Heals, Allison Melody chats with Empowerment Strategist JJ Flizanes to explore the 4 survival states, how they block our manifestation, and how to move from trauma to transformation. Fight is when your body gears up to defend at all costs. Think Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games or Will Smith at the Oscars yelling, “Keep my wife's name out of your f--king mouth.” Flight is when your system tells you to run or avoid the situation entirely. Scooby-Doo and Shaggy bolting from monsters. Forrest Gump's iconic “Run, Forrest, run.” Meredith Marks  disengaging. Freeze is when you shut down, dissociate, or feel paralyzed. Think Ophelia in Hamlet, frozen and silenced by grief. Harry Potter stunned into stillness when Voldemort reappears. Fawn is when you abandon your own needs in order to appease or please others. Kyle Richards feeling guilty when Kathy has to apologize to her, Sansa Stark pledging her loyalty to King Joffrey in Game of Thrones just to survive. In today's episode, you will learn: Why traditional Law of Attraction teachings stop at the mind and miss the body How trauma and unprocessed emotions can keep you stuck in survival states Tools to shift from survival into safety so you can finally align with your desires The exact steps JJ takes herself when she feels triggered and needs to reset Listen now to discover how to move from survival mode into flow so you can finally create the life you have been vision-boarding.

Simon and Mackelly second guess every decision.Chapter Review:Lord Commander Jon Snow takes a group of new recruits north of the Wall to say their words before the grove of weirwoods where he said his own vows. The usual naysayers say nay, but Jon is adamant and takes Ghost along for added protection. They find a grove of weirwoods occupied by a sorry gang of refugee wildlings and a giant. Jon avoids bloodshed and the people (and giant) are invited to return to the Wall under their protection. They do - they don't have much choice. Even with a 14ft giant in their ranks they would have been slaughtered, and they'd die of cold and starvation if they didn't.The recruits say their vows, reminding Jon that the words promise to protect the realms of men - nothing about whether those people be born north or south of the Wall.Back at the Wall, a letter from Stannis reports his success at Deepwood Motte and his commitment to face down the Boltons, liberate Winterfell and, if at all possible, save Arya.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Jon Snow - Bastard son of Ned Stark. Lord Commander of the Night's Watch.Bowen Marsh - Lord Steward of the Night's Watch and oft-times critic of Jon Snow's decisions.Iron Emmet - Ranger of the Night's WatchDolorous Edd - Brother of the Night's Watch and friend to Jon Snow.Ramsay Bolton - Son of Roose Bolton, the lord of the Dreadfort.Ghost - Jon's direwolf.Castle Black - Headquarters of the Night's Watch.

Crystal Hairston & Cam dive into the popular yet controversial WALKING DEAD franchise. Crystal really digs the saga despite acknowledging its flaws while Cam just gives the low-down on which poorly-written characters he wanted to have be zombie fodder.   Is it more divisive than LOST and GAME OF THRONES combined?   Were some of the spin-offs better or actually added to the lesser moments of the franchise?   Is it somewhat entertaining or does it serve to just make one angrily yell at the screen non-stop?   Find out in this calm yet blunt chat!

Send us a textIn this wildly entertaining episode of Nobody's Talking, the usual male-dominated atmosphere gets shaken up when two women – Jess and Queen – join the conversation, creating what the hosts jokingly call an "ebony and ivory" mix. The chemistry is immediate as this diverse group dives into subjects ranging from cannabis culture to the future of AI, all with the podcast's signature unfiltered approach.The cannabis discussion proves particularly enlightening as Queen shares her expertise in creating various THC products, from Sweet Potato Pie to tinctures. Her knowledge sparks stories from the hosts about edible experiences gone wrong, highlighting the universal warning that everyone ignores: "just eat half." These personal anecdotes lead to deeper conversations about the differences between today's cannabis products and "the reefer" of decades past.When the conversation shifts to entertainment, passionate debates emerge about Jordan Peele's films, with the group analyzing everything from "Get Out" to his newest release "Him." Adam Sandler movies become another hot topic, with "That's My Boy" receiving particularly high praise. The group's shared enthusiasm for "Game of Thrones" and "Ozark" reveals how these shows have become cultural touchpoints that bridge different backgrounds and experiences.Technology mishaps provide some of the episode's biggest laughs, particularly the story of someone airdropping inappropriate photos to an entire airplane. This leads to fascinating speculation about AI and robots, with Queen confessing she finds her AI assistant "better than my therapist." The group's musings about how close we are to living like "The Jetsons" shows their shared curiosity about the future.Regional differences add another layer to the conversation as Queen, who recently relocated from the DMV (DC, Maryland, Virginia) area to Arizona, shares perspectives on everything from driving patterns to haunted attractions. Her stories about converted prison haunted houses from the East Coast have the Arizona crew reconsidering their local thrill-seeking options.Ready for more unfiltered conversations?

Hello and welcome to Episode 102 of The Last Standee Podcast! This is a "surprise 2" episode with Cara and Fen, where they go on a free-range chat about electric cars, the weather and shipping woes! Oh, but also boardgames - and we have a lot to say about those. Say you want an expansion? Then Fen has got you covered - Mother of Dragons for A Game of Thrones boardgame (you know it's good because we don't talk very often about expansions). After the expansion talk though, there's Cara with Senjutsu: Battle of Japan - a deeply strategic miniature card-based skirmish/duel game which also happens to be real eye candy. And it feudal Japan is not your taste, what about Fen covering the modern classic, Sidereal Confluence? And speaking of both, did anyone catch the reference in the title? 100 internet points to the winner! Anyway, while you think at it - see you next time!

Game of Thrones may have wrapped up on that streaming site, but for the Tudor-obsessed, it really never ends. Which brings Alicia to the run-up to the year 1553. King Henry VIII has been succeeded by his son with Jane Seymour, King Edward VI. Having taken the throne at the tender age of nine, the battle among the court's more ruthless players for a regent-like role is intense; the Seymour brothers, Edward and Thomas, and John Dudley, Duke of Northumberland, are constantly scheming against each other to advance their ambitions, which is all well and good until it becomes clear that the young King is not long for the world. This presents a world of trouble for the now-Protestant English court, because the next logical successor is Henry VIII's first daughter, Mary, an avowed and unrepentant Catholic like her mother, Catherine of Aragon. Desperate to head off her ascension, the Privy Counsel and King Edward (probably) revise the 15-year-old's last will and testament to put the throne in the hands of a Protestant cousin, Lady Jane Grey - by then the daughter-in-law of John Dudley. But England's Catholic population, sensing an opportunity to regain the status they lost when Henry VIII broke with The Vatican, isn't going to take the snub gracefully. But that's a story for Part Two. Listen ad-free at patreon.com/trashyroyalspodcast. To advertise on this podcast, reach out to info@amplitudemediapartners.com. Learn more about your ad choices.

If you liked the music from Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones or Stranger Things, did you ever wonder who owns the rights and royalties and where the investment opportunity may lie? In this conversation of an intriguing “alternative investment”, we welcome a founder and CEO who sits at the epicentre of this web, capitalising upon the powerful growth which is changing ways music, film and television are consumed. Philip explains why there has been proliferation of digital platforms and content, matched by an increase in demand for media music usage, and how digitsation has allowed singers to know and to collect their entitlements. He describes the forces driving these developments, the interplay between the cogs of the music machine and the opportunity they identified in an addressable market estimated to be worth £30bn. He explains Cutting Edge Group's path to become a world leading music partner to the film and TV industries. From the revenue model, the financing, through to the integrated platform they have built, Philip discusses how complexity around the ecosystem creates opportunity. He references why their recent JV with Warner Bros Music significantly increases the assets under CEG's management and underscores its growth from a niche player into a major partner for Hollywood studios.

Martin, #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Game of Thrones said of the book, “If you love King Arthur as much as I do, you'll love Lev Grossman's The Bright Sword, a fresh and engrossing take on the Matter of Britain featuring a colorful cast of Round Table knights who don't often get as much story time as they deserve. The creator of The Magicians has woven another spell.” Lev has written two critically acclaimed novels for children, and the screenplay for the movie The Map of Tiny Perfect Things, a finalist for the Critic's Choice awards (based on his short story). He also worked as a staff writer at Time magazine, and has written essays and articles for Vanity Fair, the Believer, the Village Voice, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, Salon, Slate, Wired, Entertainment Weekly, Buzzfeed, NPR, and many others.  [Discover ⁠The Writer Files Extra⁠: Get 'The Writer Files' Podcast Delivered Straight to Your Inbox at ⁠writerfiles.fm⁠] [If you're a fan of The Writer Files, please ⁠click FOLLOW to automatically see new interviews⁠.

Simon and Mackelly are rooting for him.Chapter Review:Bran Stark starts his training in green-seeing and skin-changing with the three-eyed crow, who we learn is former Lord Commander of the Night's Watch Bryden Rivers. Jojen Reed's health has recovered but he seems resigned to a fate that he won't share with his increasingly concerned sister Meera.Bran continues to use Hodor to explore the cavern system, the big man has taken to curling up in a mental ball when Bran intrudes. Bran successfully wargs into a relatively willing raven and enjoys the experience of flying. He's also introduced to the skill of greenseeing. The immortal weirwoods have no conception of time, and so by becoming one with them Bran can see events that are remote in both distance and time. His first forays take him to the Winterfell godswood where he sees his relatives, and then in a cinematic montage a collection of his ancestors. Brynden has explained that he cannot interact or change the past, but Bran seems to be able to catch their attention.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Brandon Stark - Prince (now king?) of Winterfell. Paralyzed when pushed from a tower by Jamie Lannister.Hodor - Enormous but simple-minded helper of Bran.Meera Reed - Daughter of Howland Reed.Jojen Reed - Son of Howland Reed.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. This is a reverberating ethos through Palestinian director Annemarie Jacir's latest film, Palestine 36, which chronicles the last days of the British Mandate of Palestine and its lasting ramifications. Produced by Philistine Films, BBC Film, BFI, Doha Film Institute, Watermelon Pictures and more, and starring Hiam Abbass, Yasmine Al Massri, Saleh Bakri, Jeremy Irons, Robert Aramayo of The Rings of Power, Liam Cunningham of Game of Thrones, Karim Daoud Anaya, and others, the film details the violent colonization of Palestine that violently continues to today. Why does such colonization happen? What are the societal, capitalistic, and manipulative tactics employed? What does Palestine 36 have to teach us for today's many challenges?

Después de tener una continuidad relativamente estable por dos décadas DC decide hacerla explotar con otro de sus pobremente planeados reboots como consecuencia de Flashpoint. El New 52 nos trae un Superman sin experiencia y aunque Grant Morrison hace un buen esfuerzo, en general fue una versión deficiente que tuvo que ser restaurada en otro […]

Red Rising fans are torn on whether book one or book two - "Golden Son" - are the better story. The Busy Girls are in agreement, though. What was sort of like "Game of Thrones" is now an outer space adventure and no character is safe. Video: https://youtu.be/yIzRCosoZLw

⏱️ Intro

Olivia coaches Shauna on how to score the coveted Lady Gaga tickets for the lowest possible price and the two relive Shauna's recent visit to the City by the Bay. Then it's time for some inappropriate dead parent jokes as the Junkies list their choices for the best and worst moms and dads in movies and TV. Some of their choices are controversial - are parents who allow their kids to torture each other for fun bad, even if they really love their kids? What if you're a supportive mother figure who allows her ward to fight crime and scale tall buildings? This episode has hot, supportive dads and some that literally sacrifice their children, but could the worst set of parents be the ones with some unusual custody arrangements?

While there are fun things to talk about, like the Muppets returning, Nintendo directs, the 90s Console wars, and the new Anaconda. There are also not fun things, like Nintendo and Pokémon behind paywalls, HBO and passwords, and The Long Walk. And at the end, a serious discussion about a topic I try to stay away from, but luckily, that's at the end. Enjoy

This week, Da7e and Neil head for the docks as Alien: Earth unleashes the penultimate episode of its first season. In The Calm [06:08], they attempt to determine which character will be "introduced to" The Eye, debate the limits of the hybridization process, and give a name to the newly-birthed member of Team Aliens. Then in The Storm [01:08:08], they break down the teaser for the season finale, "The Real Monsters," and piece together what little is known about how the season will end. And one last time, they predict whether there will be any Predator easter eggs before the season ends.

Back in April, a company called Colossal Biosciences announced that they had brought dire wolves — ancient canines of Game of Thrones fame — back from extinction. The internet went wild. But while some media outlets proclaimed the return of a long-gone species, many scientists shot back on social media that these weren't really dire wolves, they were just genetically engineered grey wolves. Suddenly everybody had an opinion on what de-extinction is, what it is not, and whether or not we should be doing things like this in the first place. In this episode, we talk to scientists who have been working in this area for a while, and they not only share their thoughts on these wolves — they completely change our understanding of the term “de-extinction.”Send us your science facts, news, or other stories for a chance to be featured on an upcoming Tiny Show and Tell Us bonus episode.

And now for something completely different... Well, not really. I Know That Face will continue to be your favourite character actor-focused podcast, but with a bit of a contemporary twist. For the first ten minutes of each show, we'll be discussing new trailers, new movies or just what we've been watching recently. This week, we're talking about the return of Daniel Day-Lewis in Anemone, the New French Extremity and some movies Stephen recently saw. In character actor territory, we're discussing one of Ireland's favourite sons, Aidan Gillen. From career beginnings in Some Mother's Son to some of his best TV work in Love/Hate and Game of Thrones, as well as his more recent work in Dublin detective drama Barber, we'll examine every smirking, sneering facet of Aidan Gillen's devilish smile.

Chapter by Chapter continues with Order of the Phoenix Chapter 38: The Second War Begins. Tying up loose ends: Fudge immediately fumbles how the Ministry is handling the return of Voldemort. What could they have done differently? We're impressed by how Dumbledore got Umbridge out of the forest, but how exactly did he do it? And should Ron have responded to Umbridge's attack in the way that he did? Harry is looking for some Sirius comfort, and finds some in Hagrid and Luna. There's also one line from Harry that is extremely relatable, especially as we age: “Whenever he was in company he wanted to get away, and whenever he was alone he wanted company.” Nearly-Headless Nick offers Harry some disappointing information, but it has us wondering why wizards choose not to return as a ghost after they pass. The Order decides to greet Harry at King's Cross... but why haven't they been there for Harry's previous journeys to and from Hogwarts? MVP of the Week: Who had the most meaningful moment with Harry in this chapter? Lynx Line: What would happen if the Order had to pay a visit the Dursleys because Vernon and Petunia were mistreating Harry?

I'm excited to have the Angel of Hell's Kitchen, Alli, join me from Philadelphia for this latest episode of the podcast! We get to talk about some wonderful fandoms and her work. Alli and I kick things off by talking about The Hunger Games franchise. We cover both the movies and books (including Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and The Sunrise on the Reaping). Alli discusses some of the differences between them, and why she loves and revists the series often. We talk about favorite characters, favorite movies, and more. We also explore the idea of potential future books (and movies) and which characters we'd love to see featured. From there, we go to Westeros to talk about Game of Thrones. Alli talks about how she first got into the HBO series, and what kept her coming back for more. We talk about her favorite house and characters, her thoughts on the series, and what she'd love to see if there were even more spinoff's. Then we get to Marvel. We focus primarily on the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with what movies Alli started with, and her favorite movies/shows. We talk about favorite characters, thoughts on the upcoming movies (especially the future X-Men movie), as well as characters not yet in the MCU - Psylocke, and Silk. We briefly discuss some of the comics those characters appear in. Lastly, we wrap up with a conversation about Cosplay. Alli talks about how she first got into Cosplay, as well as how she chooses which characters to cosplay. We talk about some of the ideas she has for photoshoots, and what she'd love to do in the future with cosplay.

Sharon's adoptive father goes missing and she attempts to find him in the alternate reality holding the answers to her nightmares that have long haunted her.Silent Hill: Revelation is the sequel to Silent Hill and is based off the video game Silent Hill 3. Being one of Kit Harrington's biggest roles since his rise to stardom in Game of Thrones, this film brought together both survival horror video game fans as well as fans of fantasy. Unfortunately, we were hoping for a film that hit a bit closer to the source material of an amazing game from our childhood rather than being an amalgamation of all things Silent Hill related. Struggling to tell a cohesive story and assuming the viewer understands and can follow the messy plot, this movie isn't successful as a video game adaptation or as a sequel to the first Silent Hill. Watch the movie and catch our review.YouTube | The Final PodcastDiscord | Spooky PiratesFacebook | The Final PodcastInstagram | thefinalpodcastMusic Credit: Karl Casey @ White Bat Audiohttps://www.youtube.com/whitebataudioWhat should we review next?

This rerun I'm bending the knee to one of our most iconic episodes: "Pop Culture Playground: Game of Thrones”, which originally aired June 17, 2021. Four winters (and summers) have come and gone, and this one still rules the realm. It's my chosen favorite to revisit and share with my fellow Guildmates and listeners. Whether you're a seasoned dragon rider or a “sweet summer child”, give it a listen. Warning: side effects may include insight, inspiration, and the sudden urge to shout, “King in the North!” Because some episodes don't just play the game—they win it.

This week, Da7e and Neil are stepping very carefully into the secure lab to feed the specimens as the first season of Alien: Earth continues to escalate. In The Calm [04:58], they consider which human characters they are still rooting for, question whether Wendy can actually communicate with the Xenomorph, and begin to wonder what kinds of safeguards are built into Kirsh's programming. Then in The Storm [01:13:14], your faithful hosts make their predictions for what will be the big showdowns of the final two episodes and check-in with their ongoing theories about where and when a Predator easter egg might appear. To interact with the show, send your comments and questions to stormofspoilers@gmail.com, and follow us on Twitter/X and Bluesky @Da7eandNeil.

From pouring drinks to lighting shots at Blue Sky to leading Adobe's Substance 3D team, Michael Tanzillo's professional path is anything but typical and his story is packed with lessons motion designers need to hear. Check out the corresponding blog post here: www.schoolofmotion.com/blog/adobe-michael-tanzillo In this episode of the School of Motion Podcast, EJ Hassenfratz sits down with Michael to talk about the state of 3D, why motion designers are impressing major animation studios, and how foundational skills (like lighting and storytelling) will outlast any software trend.

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesRight after our episode last week, our pal James Gunn dropped big news on Wednesday - the next Superman film written by him will be called Man of Tomorrow. Gunn, David Corneswet, and others involved shared particular artwork by DC Comics President Jim Lee that showed Lex Luthor in a mech suit to make the announcement. In typical Gunn fashion, the DC Studios co-chair has teased this film isn't a direct sequel, but is the next installment in what he calls the “Superman saga.” The film's title is reminiscent of the Milly Alcock led Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, which releases next year. In other DC movie news, Weapons director Zach Cregger addressed rumors that have been circulating about his involvement with a Joker and Harley Quinn movie. Cregger called stories about him having written a treatment for the two iconic DC villains “blown out of proportion,” but did indicate that he has a couple of films he's interested in working on, though he hasn't spoken with James Gunn yet.At the Toronto International Film Festival last Friday, Ryan Reynolds finally admitted the internet's worst kept secret - that he was the one who leaked the original Deadpool test footage in 2014 to the world wide web. Reynolds went on to say that Fox simply didn't seem interested in releasing an R-rated superhero movie and his passion for the character led him to the extreme action, which he doesn't regret. Fans of Deadpool are likely forever grateful that Reynolds did what he did, which led to pressure on the studio to make the film a reality. In other questionable swings from stars both in front of and behind the camera, The Russos released a blurry image with the caption #Doomsday Is Coming via Instagram earlier today.No last rites are being read for horror at the box office this year, as the supposed final installment in the Conjuring universe, The Conjuring: Last Rites, raked in $84 million domestically this weekend for its opening. This massive box office marks the best for this franchise ever, and the third biggest opening for a horror film of all-time. Warner Brothers and New Line are laughing all the way to the bank, having projected a $35 million opening box office and the movie cost about $55 million to make. The film's global take as of today is $194 million. In other Conjuring news, a series in development at HBO Max set in the universe took a big step forward today, hiring Nancy Won as writer, executive producer, and showrunner, who will write the series alongside Peter Cameron and Cameron Squires. The Office spin off The Paper, which debuted its first season last week has been renewed for a second season on Peacock.Sony Pictures has released the first trailer for Nia DaCosta's “28 Years Later: The Bone Temple," the follow up to this year's 28 Years Later. The film is set to release on January 16.Prime Video has confirmed rumors that Game of Thrones alum Sophie Turner will play Lara Croft in its Tomb Raider series from creator, writer and co-showrunner Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Production on the series will begin in January.John C. McGinley has joined the cast of ABC's Scrubs reboot and will reprise his role as Dr. Perry Cox from the original series. He joins fellow returnees Zach Braff, Sarah Chalke, Donald Faison and Judy Reyes in the cast.The White Lotus creator Mike White and HBO have zeroed in on France as the location for the upcoming fourth season of the hit murder mystery comedy-drama series, sources tell Deadline.Two time Academy Award nominee Djimon Hounsou has joined the cast of Amazon MGM's reboot of Highlander, the Hollywood Reporter has learned exclusively.The first trailer for Rian Johnson's upcoming Knives Out film Knives Out: Wake Up Dead Man has been released. The film is set for release in select theaters Nov. 26 before its streaming debut December 12.

This week, Da7e and Neil are in your feeds a day later than usual because there's a saboteur running around setting fire to their space ship! In The Calm [06:16], they dig into Alien: Earth's big flashback episode as director Noah Hawley delivers his own Alien mini-movie about the plight of the USCSS Maginot. They question whether 65 years of one's life is worth a quarter share, worry about the workplace safety practices of Weyland-Yutani scientists, and present several wild theories about Morrow's motivations. Then in The Storm [01:17:50], your faithful hosts break down the trailer for episode 6, "The Wasp," before considering the possible endgame for Wendy's character and the Alien comic that could serve as inspiration for a wild twist.
