Local morning DJ team vibe
If listening to a local morning DJ team that is non-stop trying too hard for a laugh and are their own best audience is your cup of tea, then this is for you. The irony, with the Silo coverage for instance, was stating how glad they were to finally have a show that takes it subject matter seriously without the need for the constant MCU type humor - and then they proceed to relentlessly attempt to be funny. The sad part is that it takes away from what would otherwise be insightful commentary.

It's not just GOT anymore!
Super Funny recaps of mostly stuff they like and a few things they didn't. Sometimes it's a full season, sometimes it's just one eps, but it's always a romp. It's especailly helpful for shows I'm never going to watch but want to know what happed. Also recommed back eps if you are rewatching GOT. So subscribe and enjoy!

I love this podcast
Red and Ivan are the best. I’ve been listening to them for years.

Years of my life…
Spent listening to these two and their cast of bandits talk entertainment. I’ve followed them from GoT to Counterpart, through Westworld, made a turn into Lovecraft Country, and then rode into the modern Marvel landscape (with everything in between). They maintain the proper level of enjoyment and cynicism needed to survive contemporary pop media. Love this show.

The 3rd best podcast...
Fun discussions about TV, movies, comics, etc. I've really enjoyed discovering new shows via the WYSBW eps. Plus the watch alongs of Y The Last Man and Lovecraft Country really helped me get more out of those shows. Not to mention they have my favorite intro to any podcast... MAPS! Moving buildings! Flying! Blue things! The river crossing! Oh no, over the seaaaaaa.... I sing along each time.

Ivan and Red are consistently funny and insightful. I really appreciate their dedication to fiction/sci-fi/fantasy genres. This feels like I’m listening to 2 real friends hanging out and discussing nerdy stuff.... A+

Fuzzy microphones?
Do you think a big fuzzy microphone cover might help smooth out the audio for [one of the hosts]? He has a fun nervous energy but is very loud. **FIVE STARS**

Ivan needs to calm down by like 20% in watchmen
Let the ginger talk, dang dude.

Why Jon gave Angela his power?
And why did she accept the power? So they can still be together since now she’ll experience time as he did- so he’ll always be with her. Also Peteypedia appears to verify Petey=Lubeman with the Canola oil line. And even last weeks fogdancing memo/summary had some heavy Lubeman origin implications .

A breath of fresh air.
Professional comedians that manage to pull off believable banter sounding organic & off-the-cuff. The two host play off each other masterfully. It’s amazing and hilarious. Thank you guys!

Keep watching the Watchmen
Found this one while watching Counterpart, top notch. I’d love if you guys did the entire Watchmen series but honestly even for the shows I don’t watch, this podcast is always on point

Long time listener for a reason
I started listening to this podcast in the second to last season of GOT (yes, late), but enjoyed it so much I went back and listened to many of the older episodes. I’m writing this bc even though GOT has ended, I want Ivan & Red to keep reviewing and podcasting. The Treadstone ep was a new hilarious high. You guys rock.

Don’t ever stop or change your podcast title!
I am a podcast junkie, but this is the only one I’ve ever become a patreon member of. A hilarious and wry review of ‘ the golden age of television’ and some Marvel movies. These guys are are smart, funny, and aware of the current cultural and political zeitgest and are not afraid if poking fun at it and themselves.... although, I could’ve done without a million friggin episodes on Counterpart so they lost me for a bit. But generally, you don’t even gave to watch whatever they’ve seen to thoroughly enjoy an episode.

One of the best out there
I don’t normally write reviews, but this podcast has been giving me so much joy for so long I felt I should. It was great as just a Game of Thrones show but now it’s even better as they cover other shows.
Gil Trevizo
I feel like Gentleman Jack is her super hero name.
I died laughing. Absolutely died laughing. I have listened to you guys throughout your podcasting about Game of Thrones. I absolutely love this podcast. I sit in my corner of my office with my headphones on, giggling to myself and probably scaring my coworkers. But it's worth it. Ivan and Red are hilarious and they do a wonderful job recapping various bits of pop culture. Well done fellas. Thanks for doing what you do and don't ever stop!

Best GOT podcast
I’ve listened to about 6 GOT podcasts for this final season and this one is the best, I wish it came out more often. These guys are so funny, I will actually listen to their podcasts on other topics, while I will unsubscribe from all the other former GOT podcasts that are pivoting to new topics. Hope they don’t do any more liberal political podcasts, though.

Bad
Really hard to listen. The one host is too loud and talks over people.
SpaceMojo
Game of Social Justice
One host is good and one host is incredibly annoying and thinks he’s funnier than he really is. Then you have to listen to their politics and racist women pretending like they’re woke non racist feminists. Used to listen a couple years ago but I can’t stand it now.
targmanQ
Stunningly Awful
The one host is beyond obnoxious and not funny. This is a tough listen.
Luc Bonucci
good
I usually hate comical podcasts. Typically I complain about people talking over eachother, laughing over eachother, or just trying too hard. But I think these two don't do that - at least not nearly as much as other comedians. People are complaining in the reviews that their laughter sounds fake. I don't think they sound fake, but even if so, I will take fake over the obnoxious, dragged-out laughs from other podcasters any day. I think people are mistaking their good radio/mic voice control as ingenuine. I find it professional and respectful of listeners time and ears.

Ivan is super annoying.
Ivan is the king of forced laughter. Each and every HA is pronounced fully and loudly. HA - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA he says for the whole Podcast. “Hello Ivan, how are you?” “HA - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA” he says. “Ivan, do you want to hear a joke?” “No, it doesn’t matter, I’m here to cackle like an idiot HA - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA”

Not your typical GOT recap. Very entertaining!
I love these guys! They are so funny and not afraid to be a little less than PC. The sense of humor is refreshing and reminds me of my husband and dad. Don’t ever change.

RIP Headphone Users
I was really looking forward to the Thrones content, but this podcast is so shockingly bad I had to turn it off within the first ten minutes. One of the hosts yells over his cohost and incessantly laughs directly into the mic. The volume of the host’s voice and frequency of inane cackling makes this podcast unlistenable.
Gimlegolas
The laughter completely ruins this podcast
Obnoxious
Ugh t
The laughter is horrible
The laughing is too much and makes listening to this very hard to enjoy.

I love this show so much.

Great GoT recap!
I'm a little behind on GoT, and I've found this podcast really helpful in recapping the show as I catch up. Ivan and Red are hilarious! Love that they haven't read the books, so they're totally unspoiled.

Start binging now
I’m re-listening to every episode to prep for the final season, it’s a lot of fun to hear what they thought early on that did or didn’t come true. Informative and entertaining as hell.

Refreshing
As a huge fan of the books and TV series I listen to a number of podcasts about GoT/ASOIAF. Most don’t inject humor as effortlessly as these guys which makes this a nice contrast when you don’t want to take the fiction so seriously. Keep up the good work guys

Where is your Infinity War review?!!!??
Ummm I love you guys I really do. I enjoy all of your reviews all the time especially in Game of Thrones season. My only problem here is that I’ve been waiting waiting waiting waiting for three weeks now for your Infinity War review...are you guys planning on talking about it?? You HAVE to talk about it. I’m very interested to hear what Red thought of the movie and you guys are like 3 weeks behind. PLEASEESEEESEE review Infinity War.

NOT, not too bad! Fantastic!!!
Listening since the beginning & failed to write a review until it was absolutely pointless. You deserve better. You guys are great! Keep it up & thank you!

Two hilarious dudes
Been listening to these guys since the beginning. They are just plain good at what they do. They are that special type of nerd that really knows their stuff, can break things down in a very clear way, and are also lovely feminist, minority, LGBTQ allies. Bless these boys. Great job and wish them all the best! ❤️

Good for filling up the void of silence!
I have some serious life stuff going on, related to my husband's health, that I'd rather crowd out of my thoughts. So I started from the beginning. I'm a fan and a patreon supporter, but I hopped on around season 4 or 5, so there's a lot of content I missed. Now I listen to approximately 8-10 hours of Ivan and Red per day. Going on 2 weeks. I burned through the whole first book of book club in days. I think I'm probably about as fully imersed as anyone has ever been in this podcast. And I finally understand why they're the third best recap podcast! And they actually used to be enthusiastic about book club! They were surprisingly good at predictions! They used to make predictions! Who knew. Anyways, their banter is filling up any possible silence in my life and it's been a gift. Vagina.

Red and Ivan are fantastic
Listening to these two friends banter about ASOIAF, entertainment and television (we ARE in a golden age of prime television) makes any day a great day. I'm so glad I followed BoingBoing.net's advice and gave them a try. No ads, just the occasional pitch for their patreon and it must work because I've become a bannerman. Worth every minute.

Couldn’t be funnier
Ivan’s laugh should be harnessed, bottled, and consumed throughout the day. Red’s calm, dry wit sheds sardonic, wine-infused levity to any situation. I listen to them as a life-maintenance technique. Keep it up, fellas, and many thanks.

This Podcast Title is the Best Thing Ever
I recently started watching Game of Thrones last year, and it was AWESOME to be able to "follow along" with the episodes and binge this podcast after every ep! It's like having good friends to discuss the show with -- Ivan and Red are great hosts and seem like super cool people. I love that they have branched out and are now convering other great shows, like Alias Grace!
VivianMK
National Treasure?
These guys are a double edged sword of wackiness and sarcasm. Hilarious usually, sometimes uncomfortable, always worth listening. ALWAYS!!!

Da bomb!
You boys are the tops. No better podcasters anywhere on earth ( not the universe though). Love you boys, don’t ever stop. THE BEST PODCAST EVER!!!!!!!!
Hiwwwww
Bloody hilarious
Red and Ivan (eeeevan) are absolutely hilarious! Their dark, silly, poignant, and intellectual humor should be enjoyed by all. I don’t believe all will “get it”, but I’ve enjoyed this podcast since my friend gave it rave reviews. That was reinforced by Kelly and Tom mentioning it on Up yours Downstairs. I love it when I can hear the ice clink in red’s scotch. Makes me giggle every time. Listen listen listen!! #oceans #marvelDC #hardliqor&marijuana #bunkerpolitics

Consistently hilarious
Without contention, this is the third-best Game of Thrones podcast but the first-best everything-else-they-cover podcast. They read through the Song of Ice and Fire books, plus the Dunk and Egg and other weird expanded-universe stuff. They explore What You Should Be Watching, one-shots on other shows that introduce audiences to similar or vastly different shows of either extraordinary quality or lack thereof. Guests are consistently well-fitted and up to the challenge. Content is reliable despite these many years. Also worthy of your support on Patreon.

Funny and Helpful
Found this podcast after watching the season 7 episode 4. After listening to most of the GOT podcasts out on iTunes, some did not interest me, others did. This one being one of them.  Never thought I could find a podcast that would feel like I was listening to friends after watching the episode. Making jokes and laughing at things that some would considered inappropriate. Even listening to this in my car with my sister who does not watch GOT was laughing at it. With The Long Night...The Thousand Years War (insert witty Game Of Thrones reference here.) approaching, I'm still listening and even going back and using their Book Club episodes to get through the books. (Which by itself can be tedious.) Thanks past Red and Ivan for giving me the idea to write a review. Hope this helps someone who was not quite sure if to check it out
