Talkin' TVTalkin' Thrones Episode 48 - HardhomeAlright, this one's a big one, the biggest one we've done in a while. We've been building up to this one for the whole season, and rightfully so, because this episode is ultimately the one that determines the course of the rest of the show, Season 5, Episode 8 "Hardhome," rightfully named after the devastating battle that takes place when the White Walkers unexpectedly attack and brutally massacre most of the Wildling forces in the first true demonstration of their power. Miguel Sapochnik's action directing skills are put on full display here, as Jon's arrival to treat with the Wildlings is...

Dom is joined by Eli Holicky in order to commemorate the first of a couple of shows that will be wrapping up this year. We teamed up back in January to do a surprise bonus episode talking about the first half of Season 4 when it dropped in January, and now we're talking about the final 7 episodes which dropped this past Friday on Netflix. It's been a wild and crazy journey following the Byrdes these last 5 years, and we break down everything that happened in this last season. Was it earned? Did they wrap...

Hard to believe we've already almost completed 5 seasons of this show! That just shows the power of this show, even at its worst, which this season easily has been. But we have a special episode to cover here, Season 5, Episode 7, entitled "The gift," because this marks the directorial debut of Miguel Sapochnik, arguably the most influential director to come out of this half of the show as his handling of the major battle sequences that take place in the following episode "Hardhome" as well as...

Dom is joined by Joe of Guy at the Movies to discuss Robert Eggers' third feature film "the Northman" & the Nicolas Cage starring parody "The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent." First up is the Northman, an epic historical action drama film, based on the legend of Amleth, the film features Alexander Skarsgard as the titular Northman who sets out to avenge the death of his father at his uncle's hands.

The Martell sigil words, which seems to signify the pigheadedness of all the characters and their actions as they move towards the finale. This is the second episode written by Bryan Cogman & directed by Jeremy Podeswa, and has become very controversial in the years since both for the changes made to the Dorne storyline as well as the ending scene, which presents Sansa being horrifically and rather brutally sexually assaulted by Ramsay on the night of their wedding, a moment that...

Sean of Math Teacher Movies joins Dom the Movie Nerd to discuss the premiere of the long awaited sixth and final season of "Better Call Saul," the prequel/spinoff to Vince Gilligan's critically acclaimed midlife crisis drama "Breaking Bad."

2022-04-1950 minTalkin' TVTalkin' Thrones Episode 45 - Kill the BoyWe're on for another episode of Talkin' Thrones as well as another midpoint, Season 5, Episode 5, entitled "Kill the Boy." The title being a reference to Maester Aemon giving Jon his last bit of advice to kill the symbolic boy and become the man, essentially yet another way of describing Jon's growth and maturity from embittered bastard to leader of men. The theme of maturity seems to be a prevalent one, with the characters suffering the consequences of their actions, while the holes continue to show as the season stretches on. Jon makes a decision that divides the Night's Watch...

2022-04-1144 minTalkin' TVTalkin' Thrones Episode 44 - Sons of the HarpyWe've reached the point of no return with this week's episode, Season 5, Episode 4 entitled "Sons of the Harpy." This is the episode where a lot of stupid stuff happens with little to no return, because unlike last week's episode where the story was actually pretty engaging despite the lack of payoff, here we're provided with stupid moment after stupid moment with little in-between to tie it all together. It's the real beginning to me of Benioff & Weiss' downfall with their critical reception, because this is the first of a series of episodes that are just poorly written with very...

2022-04-0447 minTalkin' TVTalkin' Thrones Episode 43 - High SparrowWe're at the point of the show where Dom's problems really start to show with Season 5, Episode 3 "High Sparrow." As the title suggests, this episode is the introduction of the titular High Sparrow, the leader of the religious fanatical group known as the sparrows makes his appearance portrayed by Jonathan Pryce. The High Sparrow represents a very confusing element that comes to play in the later seasons, as the ideas behind the motivation of his character and his use of religious zealotism as a means of exacting some sort of philosophical revenge against the high lords for their destruction...

This is what I like to call the plot episode, in that this is an episode where a WHOLE lot of plot happens. We get a lot of characters arriving at their new destinations they set out for, characters in transtit, characters starting out new journeys. Dom breaks down even more where they're deviating from the books, what works and what doesn't. Arya finally arrives at the House of Black & White in Braavos, only to be turned away.

We're officially at the point where Game of Thrones transitions from being great to just...meh. Season 5 is such an interesting conundrum, because some of the best, most awesome moments of the entire show happen this season. The Dragonpit attack, Shireen's tragic death, Davos' speech to Jon, and of course, the real turning point of the show, Hardhome. It signifies a drastic upshift in the production, and a severe downshift in the storytelling, as this is the last season based on any of the books, in fact not one, but two books...

So instead, Dom & Chris tackle Ben Stiller's brand new Apple TV+ show that is slowly winning the internet over one twitter account at a time, Severance!

Season 4, Episode 10, entitled "The Children" is the end of a lot of our major character's arcs and also really a major ending point for a lot of the storylines we've been following for the last four seasons. Despite the Red Wedding occurring at the end of Season 3, Season 4 is the official end of a Storm of Swords, and also a pretty great encapsulation of everything that the fourth season was setting out...

And this time, another Star Wars property, and we always know we've got magic on our hands when we talk about this fabled property.

Anyways, the TV & Movie Nerds are back, and they pulled out another guest out of the cracks of their asses, as they always do, and they're talking about Birds of Prey! Or is it Harley Quinn? I can't really decide because the studio can't really decide! On Talkin' TV!
