    LIVE Reaction to 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' Pilot Episode
    Jan 19 2026
    We’re riding back into Westeros with Dunk & Egg, George R.R. Martin’s lighter, lore-rich prequel following the unlikely duo of Ser Duncan the Tall and his sharp squire, Egg—set about 90 years before Game of Thrones. We break down how this series fits between House of the Dragon and ASOIAF, dig into the three original novellas, and react to a pilot that’s surprisingly breezier (yes, including some truly unhinged Westerosi gross-out moments). From tourneys at Ashford to meta jokes, lighter music, and the birth of a legendary partnership, we wrap by picking favorite moments and deciding if we’re all in for the season ahead.

    We’re breaking down Part Two of Stranger Things Season 5 and the very end of this epic journey. We share our initial reactions, shout out standout performances, and talk surprises before diving into the big answers: Vecna’s origins, the truth about Eleven’s powers, the Upside Down as a wormhole, and Brenner’s lasting damage. We unpack the emotional character moments (Will coming out, Dustin and Steve, Nancy finally choosing herself), the all-out final battle in the Abyss (Nancy goes Rambo, Joyce gets the kill), and the graduation-day epilogue that passes the D&D torch to the next generation.

    Dec 1 2025
    Major spoiler warning for Stranger Things season 5! Stranger Things is BACK and we’re diving straight into our hottest takes on Season 5 Part 1. From the thrill of returning to Hawkins to the genuinely unexpected twists (hi, suddenly-grown Holly Wheeler), we’re breaking down everything hitting hard and everything… not so much. We get into the Wheeler house attack, the military takeover, Dustin’s grief spiral, Eleven’s training glow-up, the wild new Upside Down army base, Robin and Will’s long-overdue team-up, the kids casually kidnapping a whole family, and MAX MAX MAX. Plus Vecna’s eerie new strategy and Will’s emerging powers. We wrap with bold predictions, wormhole theories, and the early death roster (sorry in advance, Steve and Will).
