Send a textBarristan Selmy takes stock after the departure of Daenerys on Drogon. As Hizdahr cements his power, the old knight is forced into plots that he hoped he'd left behind. Simon and Mackelly egg him on.Chapter Review:With Queen Daenerys Targaryen still missing, Ser Barristan Selmy is informed by the seneschal Reznak mo Reznak that King Hizdahr zo Loraq no longer needs him by the new king's side. Selmy is fine with that. He's short of friends right now, with Daario and company still hostages of the Yunkai'i, but Missandei tells him that a masked Brazen Beast approached her to say that the Shavepate (Skahaz mo Kandaq) wants to meet with Selmy. He doesn't trust these masked men, but he agrees to the meeting.Barristan is convinced that Dany lives. She was riding Drogon like the Targaryens of old. But also like the dragons of old, the body count can get out of control. More than 200 burned to death at the fighting pit. He reminisces about his early life and bemoans that he is now engaging in the plots and schemes he hoped he'd left behind in King's Landing.He meets with Skahaz who wants rebellion. The Volantenes are coming to re-enslave everyone. The peace treaty is a sham. Worst of all, it was Hizdar's confectioner who poisoned the locusts that had incapacitated Belwas, but the target was the queen. Selmy wants proof and if he gets it, he'll help Skahaz with his plans. Characters/Places/Names/Events:Daenerys Targaryen - Last remaining descendent of the royal Targaryen line, Stormborn, Mother of Dragons, claimant to the Iron Throne of Westeros.Barristan Selmy - Former Lord Commander of the Kingsguard in King's Landing. Now Lord Commander of the Dany's Queensguard.Hizdahr zo Loraq - Noble of Meereen, husband to Daenerys.Missandei - Translator and handmaid to Daenerys.Skahaz mo Kandaq (aka The Shavepate) - Ghiscari noble, loyal to Daenerys and opposed to Hizdahr.Meereen - Largest city on Slaver's Bay.

Next they highlight the trailer for Witch Hat Atelier, an anime adaptation of the wildly popular magic and sorcery-based manga of the same name, which is set to premiere on Crunchyroll on April 26th. Then they dive into the story that the viral AI-generated fight scene featuring Brad Pitt & Tom Cruise that sent Hollywood creatives into a tizzy was actually just a reskinned fight choreography sequence between two stuntmen. Finally, they close with an update on the pending sale of Warner Bros with a new Variety article stating that many WBD staffers have started to favor Netflix as a buyer over Paramount due to David Ellison's ties to the Trump administration and recent leadership changes at CBS.

WE COOKIN' THIS WEEK! We kicked things off with the Toy Story 5 trailer — the gang is back, and this time Woody, Buzz, Jessie, and the crew are facing modern tech threats like never before, thanks to a brand-new high-tech toy called Lilypad that threatens the core of playtime. Next up, we hit the Star Wars universe as we watched the The Mandalorian and Grogu teaser, which brings Din Djarin and Grogu's story back to the big screen with an expanded cast including colonel leader Sigourney Weaver and Hutt heir Jeremy Allen White, with plenty of classic galaxy-wide adventure vibes.Then adrenaline switched up hard with the House of the Dragon Season 3 trailer — dragons in full-scale war, Greens vs. Blacks, massive battles, and Westeros in total chaos as the Targaryen civil war explodes onscreen. Finally, we took a hard turn into horror with The Mummy trailer — the latest reboot from director Lee Cronin is promising a fresh, evil-infested nightmare take on the classic monster tale.

The Geek Freaks Headlines crew reacts to the new House of the Dragon Season 3 trailer and keeps it spoiler-free while still digging into what the footage is clearly setting up. The big focus is on how fast the season hits the gas, with the Battle of the Gullet teased as an early centerpiece, plus the shifting trust lines between Rhaenyra, Alicent, Jace, and Aemond. The conversation also zooms out to the bigger theme of the Dance: when Targaryens fight, the realm pays the price, and Season 3 looks ready to show that cost in full.00:00 Trailer reaction, June release window, and a spoiler-free promise00:14 Battle of the Gullet teased as an early major episode00:27 Rhaenyra's shift into full “war mode” and the story turning grayer on both sides00:46 The realm suffering theme, and how the show frames “small people vs big dragons”01:06 Why Season 3 feels like the payoff for Season 2 and the setup for a final Season 401:19 Listener prompt: what you want to see in Season 3 (spoiler-free)The trailer suggests Season 3 picks up immediately after Season 2 and moves quickly into action.The Battle of the Gullet is being positioned as a huge escalation point early in the season.The trust question is front and center, especially around Alicent's intentions and Jace pushing caution.Rhaenyra's approach looks less careful this time, with more willingness to embrace the war outright.The story is leaning into moral gray area, where loyalties get harder as both sides push further.The visual language of dragons and war keeps highlighting collateral damage across the realm.“I'm gonna avoid spoilers, but I will say a lot of the action [is] going happen in the very first episode.”“It's the biggest battle in Game of Thrones.”“Do not trust Alicent.”“This season, we're going to see her fully fledged to the war.”“The realm is what suffers when the Targaryens fight each other.”If you enjoyed this breakdown, make sure you're subscribed to Geek Freaks Headlines.

Send a textCersei makes the only play she can. She wisely confesses to most of her crimes, that have already been verified by other witnesses anyway, but denies the big ones. For those questions, trial by combat will determine her guilt. Uncle Kevan reports wholesale changes in the Small Council. Mackelly and Simon weigh her chances.Chapter Review:Queen Cersei Lannister hates her jailors, three dour septas. But they break her down and she is ready to confess. She's brought before the High Septon. She admits to her infidelities, but denies the big ones: incest, treason, reicide, and deicide, all of which Osney Kettleblack implicated her in, under torture. The incest one is awkward for the High Septon. It is Stannis Baratheon's accusation and he has fallen in with a false god. He puts his faith in trial by combat to determine her guilt or innocence.She is finally allowed a visitor; her uncle Kevan Lannister. He's angry with her corruption of his son Lancel. And brings only bad news: Jaime has not returned, he was last seen cavorting the Riverlands with a woman believed to be Brienne of Tarth. The Tyrells and Tarlys have come to town to defend Queen Margaery, against whom the High Septon admits the case is weak. Kevan has assembled a whole new Small Council filled with nobody who cares for Cersei.Worst of all is the news that Myrcella has been wounded in Dorne. Cersei blames Tyrion. She asks Kevan to work with Qyburn to get the right man into the Kingsguard to defend her honor.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Cersei Lannister - Dowager Queen of the Seven Kingdoms. Mother to King Tommen.The High Septon - Leader of the faith. Known as the High Sparrow for his piety and commitment to poverty.Kevan Lannister - Uncle to Cersei, new Hand of the King.Lancel Lanniser - Son of Kevan, former lover of Cersei. Now a convert to the militant branch of the Faith of the Seven.Qyburn - Disgraced maester of the citadel. Ally to Cersei.Margaery Tyrell - Wife to King Tommen.

After delivering what possibly amounts to the most disgruntled eulogy of all time, Ebube summons Afam and Soonen through gritted teeth to talk about the loss that's currently hurting him the most, courtesy of this episode — he can't decide whether to love or hate Ira Parker, but stay tuned.They get into the tragedy of how the events unfolded and how it's partly a commentary on class warfare, before breaking down the story beats within the fight and the flashback, as well as the fascinating lore surrounding it. They discuss what's been lost, the significance of the episode's title, what the flashback really shows us about Dunk, and the fact that no good deep goes unpunished in the world of Game of Thrones.We'll all need some time to recover.You can support us hereAlso available on YouTubeHost: Ebube Ubochi Guests: Afam and SoonenProduction by: Ebube Ubochi

Die vierte Folge der ersten Staffel von „A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms“ macht aus der locker-leichten Fantasy-Komödie ein bitterernstes Drama. Ser Duncan dem Großen (Peter Claffey) droht die Rache des Drachen, nachdem er Hand (und Fuß) an Prinz Aerion Targaryen (Finn Bennett) angelegt hat. Ein Kampf von sieben gegen sieben Ritter soll nun das Gottesurteil bringen, daher auch der Episodentitel „Seven“. Im Podcast sprechen Hanna, Adam und Bjarne über die Chancen des Heckenritters und darüber, wer hier eigentlich die wahren Ritter sind. Auch die Frage, welche Schuld den kleinen Knappen Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell) trifft, wird diskutiert. Und natürlich nehmen wir uns Zeit, die wunderbaren Rüstungen zu würdigen. Allen voran Ser Steffon Fossoway (Edward Ashley) glänzt mit seinem Bronzepanzer in Apfeloptik. „AKotSK“ wird immer besser und besser, doch das Finale ist auch schon in Sicht.

After much arguing and threats of violence, Tormund finally agrees. His band won't be happy with the concessions, including forfeiture or any valuables and 100 boys at wards of the Night's Watch. They will meet again in three days to begin the process of transitioning south of the Wall.Jon rides with Val back to Castle Black. She wants to continue helping with the relocation of the free folk. Jon takes her to meet Queen Selyse Baratheon. Selyse is happy Jon secured the deal with the wildlings, but becomes angry when she learns there was no mention of bending the knee or taking R'hllor as their god. Val says if they are made to kneel the free folk will rise, blades in hand.Outside the tower, Val comments on Princess Shireen's greyscale. She calls it grey death and says the girl is already dead. She wants her nephew Little Monster away from the girl. A shocked Jon says he'll try. Val says he'd better succeed. He owes her.Jon meets a group of Night's Watch leaders and two wildling chiefs atop the Wall. Jon explains the situation with the wildlings relocating. The men push back on every detail of Jon's plan. How will we feed them? What about the Weeper? How will you keep them at the Wall? Will you train the wards in combat?

"How good a knight are you?"... Guess we'll find out.Ebube brings Bankole in to join the the guys for an incredibly fun roundtable and a lesson in the laws of gods and men, but frankly the real question here is how cooked Dunk truly is.Once Bankole recaps his own perspective on the show with a carefully curated list of "jokes", the guys deliberate on a wide range of topics, including but not limited to Baelor being the greatest Targaryen ever put to screen, Aerion being the kind of demon that's actually worth fearing, and Maekar living out all the stresses of fatherhood all at once.They also touch on the newest Targaryens revealed to us, discussing what Daeron brings to the table and what might be next for the baldest prince in history, all while trying to figure out what could possibly go right in a Trial of Seven.What even is that??!!!!You can support us hereAlso available on YouTubeHost: Ebube Ubochi Guests: Bankole Imoukhuede, Afam and SoonenProduction by: Ebube Ubochi

Fighting breaks out between the Freys and Manderlys, leaving Lord Wyman Manderly bleeding and several men dead.Lord Roose announces that they will ride out against Stannis, and the Freys and Manderlys will lead the charge. Abel's women say that now is the time to enact their plan. Theon meets the women in the godswood. They're all dressed as servants. After filling buckets of hot water, they gain entrance to Lady Arya's room. Theon coaxes Jeyne, who almost reveals she's not Arya, into cooperating.

GAME OF THRONES is back with another spin-off, A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS! DJ and Roxy explore what differentiates this show from class formula and HOUSE OF THE DRAGON, and discuss the future of the franchise and whether George R.R. Martin might be better off moving on from the series. Plus, Lobo revealed and MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!
Well Star Wars fans can continue to argue, because Kathleen Kennedy stepping down certainly wont stop them. But something to stop to listen to, is George RR Martin telling all to the Hollywood Reporter. Plus, Fallout Season 2 is not falling behind season 1, people just don't remember how TV works. Ubisoft decided to lay a big one on the gaming industry by cancelling another Prince of Persia game, and Netflix wants to keep WB movies on the big screen if the merger goes through. That and more on this weeks episode.

Send us a textDaenerys hosts her conquerors, the Yunkai'i. Peace has cost her more than she can stomach. Mackelly and Simon sympathize with her.Chapter Review:Daenerys Targaryen attends a banquet thrown for the Yunkai'i to celebrate the peace. The accords hold, no re-enslavement, no more freeing of the existing slaves, but Daenerys is far from pleased that a slave market has been opened outside her walls - technically not in violation, but an obvious goad to her.To ensure a peaceful evening, hostages have been sent to the Yunkai'i, including Daario Naharis. Probably for the best because one of the envoys from Yunkai is Brown Ben Plum. He tries to smooth things over with Daenerys, but she's still bridling at his betrayal. She asks Barristan Selmy to make overtures to the sellsword companies, not believing that this peace can truly last. She takes Quentyn Martell to see the dragons, and urges him to go home. He wants to stay and fight for her.That night Hizdahr Zo Loraq drunkenly consummates his marriage and hopes for a son as he falls asleep. Daenerys has reason to doubt that his wish will be answered. The queen cannot sleep, tomorrow sees the unwelcome reopening of the fighting pits. She passes the small hours chatting with Missandei about sweet things.
