This episode of Stark Raven Mad: A Game of Thrones podcast covers the premiere episode of House of the Dragon! What is dead may never die – SRM returns! Just as was the case with the original series, what we lack in-world knowledge we make up for in the fun we have along the way. The general consensus is we are cautiously optimistic. For this premiere episode, we cover things more generally rather than beat by beat. We talk about how this first ep washes away a bit of the bad taste Game of Thrones left behind, the look and feel of the world, the most attention getting scene of the episode, and how it’s not entirely off the table that HBO/Warner/Discovery could choose not to renew the series. RATE AND REVIEW FOR YOUR CHANCE TO WIN A PRIZE!Go to iTunes, subscribe, rate and review the pod (preferably favorably) and then email us your view at srmpodcast@xroadscomedy.com and you’ll be entered to win a Game of Thrones related prize in our first season finale episode. FOLLOW OUR PANELISTS ON SOCIAL MEDIA, CHECK OUT THEIR SIDE GIGS, AND SEE THEM PERFORM LIVE IN PHILLY!Mike: Follow @mikemarbach on all the things and check out the Crossroads Website at xroadscomedy.com for info on shows, podcasts, and classes!Rob: Trust the Sauces.
