For this episode... we present the unearthed EscapeGoat pilot! A conversation recorded in June 2019, with the thought of being a dry run for a potential podcast which eventually became this show!
In this chat (recorded face to face in a very hot room), Rich and I talked about the then-recent finale episode of Game of Thrones (2011-19, HBO) and what we made of it, and indeed some of the general direction of the show.
We go on to talk about the (again) then-recent comeback special/belated finale of Deadwood (2004-2006, 2019), and how it's an odd TV event, but one that made us feel very good!
As I say in the intro, this is kind of our The Menagerie (for Star Trek fans!) and both these shows have drifted out of the cultural conversation since last summer, but we hope you enjoy it, as a barely edited 'dry run'!

In keeping with the casual summer 'holiday hiatus' feel of the existence of this episode in general.... I hope you enjoy this clip featuring Peter Dinklage :)
