daenerys

It's our 100th episode! Can you believe it? To celebrate this milestone, we are joined by special guest, Jake, to play our most deep-cut trivia yet! Join us as we tackle questions about A Game of Thrones and A Clash of Kings, argue semantics, attempt to name all the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, challenge the host's judgement, wrack our brains for the names of irrelevant characters, and scream-laugh our way to either total success or complete failure. Will be utterly embarrass ourselves? Or will our impeccable knowledge of the first two novels of the Song of Ice and Fire series impress Jake and ourselves?...

In today's chapters of A Storm of Swords, we examine how George R.R. Martin employs exposition in Dany's introductory chapter, we learn more about dragons, Jorah makes a move on Dany, and the Unsullied sound very different from how we remember them in the show. Also, we discover Jojen Reed isn't a true greenseer and Bran's mind might be melding a little too closely with Summer's. Jess tells us about the other books she's reading, including the Satanic Bible and the Witch's Bible, and Raven talks critically of the writing in Divergent by Veronica Roth.

Character perspectives in this episode: Daenerys and Bran...

We have a special episode of I'ma Need More Wine for you, straight from this year's Con of Thrones, the biggest Game of Thrones fan convention. Kristine moderated a panel on the baddest bishes in the game: Queens Daenerys, Cersei, and Sansa.

The panel included podcast faves Daphne Olive (@daphneolive), Kim Renfro (@kimrrenfro), and Lauren Sarner (@laurensarner). We tackle such fun questions as which one of these characters would actually win a U.S. election and what their campaign slogans would be, but also delve into the arc of their leadership styles and all the things that influenced those arcs.

Who is the khaliest khal?! Jess and Raven start off this week's episode with a not-sponsored ten-minute ad for Disney+, in which they talk about the Mandalorian and Baby Yoda memes. In A Game of Thrones, Raven's shitlist gets one character shorter and she nails down her biggest complaint about the book so far. The sisters find what may be a couple of plot holes, continue shaking their heads in disappointment at Ned's decisions, and wonder about the reasons for the differences made to Ghost the direwolf in the show.

We close out our time in Westeros with a discussion about minor characters, character arcs, thirst traps, spinoffs, and whether or not the books will ever be completed.  This was a marathon discussion and it’s very apparent that one of us is three sheets to the wind as we finally reached the finish line.  

We dig into our favorite minor characters, which includes a salute to the queen of memes and queen of our hearts - Olenna Tyrell. Jocelyn remains completely on brand and could not choose a single character.  As a result, we discuss that sexy Jaqen H'ghar music, characters who are tired of everyone’s ish, and give some well deserved love to the Reed children.

Next, we get deep into our feelings about Theon Greyjoy and Jaime Lannister as we discuss our favorite character arcs from the series.  We also get into our least favorite arcs.  Jocelyn did not appreciate Littlefinger hustling backwards towards the end of his arc and Kristine wanted more development for Daenerys.  

We then move on to character deaths, which leads us to salute the Queen of Thornes once again for going out like a champ.  We discuss the deaths we liked, the deaths we hated, and the ones that left us in shambles.  If you are one with the thirst and the thirst is one with you, the segment on thirst traps will not disappoint!  We also settle a very important debate about the best Daario and chat about our favorite failed fan theories.  

The episode closes out with what’s next for fans and we revisit our prior discussion on Pose in response to a lovely listener letter.

Friendly reminder - we drink, we know things, and we use adult language.

We will see you next Wine Wednesday for a discussion about Fleabag.

In this episode, Jess tells a story from one of her favourite SubReddits, and the sisters give piercing updates for the first time in months! They also reflect on how it's been doing the podcast for a full 8 months! In A Game of Thrones, Bronn fights the trial by combat for Tyrion, Jon fights for Sam to saved from Alliser Thorne's wrath, and Tyrion talks his way out of being killed for the hundredth time. Jess and Raven dethrone the previous most annoying side-character and elect a new one, they learn about the meaning behind the maester's chains, and discuss the evilest thing Tywin Lannister has ever done. Character perspectives in this episode: Catelyn, Jon, and Tyrion... Thanks for listening!

We get right back into our discussion of Game of Thrones in part 2 of our trilogy.  In this episode, we share our thoughts on favorite and least favorite seasons.  Kristine’s favorite season included lots of Stark family feels, crying in front of delicious pies, and a memorable battle in the North.  Jocelyn could not settle on just one, so she discusses her tie for favorite season and reveals herself as a sucker for a “YASSSS QUEEN” moment with Dany.  

Next up, we discuss our favorite and least favorite episodes.  Kristine talks about the brilliance of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, which happens to be both of our favorite episodes.  Jocelyn discusses her runner up, The Lion and the Rose and delights in Varys serving up lots of side eye reaction shots.  We balance things out with a brief chat about our least favorite episodes and then move on to our favorite major characters, both of whom are from House Stark.  Jocelyn revisits the discussion from previous episodes about the importance of chosen family when talking about her least favorite character and Kristine talks about the shortcomings in the development of the Night King.  

As always, we drink, we know things, and we use adult language!  Join us next week for the conclusion of our trilogy, as we share our thoughts on minor characters, character arcs, thirst traps, and what’s next for fans of the series.

Links to ish we mentioned:

• The pie shop in Galway, Ireland where Kristine sobbed about poor Hodor while trying to enjoy her braised beef and stout pie.
• Con of Thrones panel with a great discussion about the Stark sisters.
