In this week's chapter, Jaime's final chapter of the book, we explore how Jaime is much smarter than his twin sister Cersei and also how he's just as stupid. We learn who betrayed Robb to the Lannisters, the true motives of Robb's wife, and talk Nymeria vs. Ghost.

Happy Halloween! In Cersei's final perspective chapter in this novel, will her world come crashing down around her or will all her evil plans pay off? Topics include: what makes rooibos a fake tea (again),  Raven's new excuse for why she isn't drinking tea this episode,  some people being still stuck in the 15th century, possible plot holes, Cersei's small council member wanting to cannon King's Landing, and the scent of comeuppance.

Join us as we sing the praises of the despicable character that is Cersei, question whether she was responsible for the death of her childhood friend, and criticize her web of lies that will hopefully lead to her comeuppance. Other topics include: the joys and horrors of camping, and evil D&D characters and campaigns.

We are back! Thank you for your patience and bearing with us during our bereavement break. In today's episode, we speculate whether Rhaegar had bastards, discuss Loras's awful fate, laugh at a highly unfortunate name, and side with bloodsucking witches. Other topics include: the inability to nap due to capitalism, a PSA about toilet paper, a septic tank poem, and the cursed conversation topics our family is obsessed with.

In this week's episode, an actually good chapter! Jaime reaches Riverrun and grapples with the prospect of breaking his vow to Catelyn Stark, and Cat (Arya) sells oysters, clams, and cockles, and makes a grave mistake that involves a pair of boots. In writing school with Raven, Raven teaches Jess about the narrative principle that is Chekhov's Gun.

We are absolutely obsessed with Cersei! Cersei's chapters continue to carry this book and this one is a doozie. Plans go awry, royals get offended, and theories fly in this behemoth of a chapter. Even Brienne's chapter isn't a bore, although we do have one bone to pick with GRRM. We also discuss the unreliable narrator technique in literature.

Cersei is so dumb. Like, actually so dumb. Like so stupid. In today's episode, we read chapters 16 and 17 of A Feast for Crows and find out how the twins' paths are diverging and discuss why this may be happening. We also theorize the reason for the Golden Company breaking its contract with Myr, whose side Lady Merryweather is really on, what mistakes will lead to Cersei's downfall, and how Criston Cole fits into Jaime's struggle.

In today's episode, we enter the mind's of two brand new perspective characters who also happen to be two of the most powerful women in the Seven Kingdoms, albeit in very different ways. Will Cersei's perspective tell us whether she is truly a sociopath? Jess and Raven discuss her state of mind as she learns about her father's passing. Will Brienne reveal what she thinks of herself? Jess is stunned by information we should already know and Raven talks about her own character designed after Brienne.

We've reached the final stretch. In this week's episode of A Storm of Swords, we cover Dany's and Jaime's final chapters of the book. Topics include: why Jorah is a massive idiot, Dany not being a perspective character in the next book, Brienne and Jaime's blossoming relationship, what makes Jaime Jess's favourite character, and a new vital piece of information that may make Robb's story even more tragic.

This episode kicks off with Christmas talk, and what makes this season so difficult. In A Storm of Swords, Jon is still battling wildlings and two of our most hated characters make their reappearance. And, we contrast Shae's behaviour in the book to the show, and read in descriptive detail one of the most gruesome deaths in the series. We also go off on a tangent about dumb spellings of common names.

Arya is warging into Nymeria and discovers something horrifying involving Catelyn, which turns out to be entirely new for us. Like, not in the show at all new. Except Jess knows some stuff and gets to laugh at how clueless Raven is. Tyrion's trial starts and immediately goes very badly. We also discuss a creepy Game of Thrones theory and give some tattoo updates.
