Johnny and Alex sit down with cosplayer Loki Hates You for a very funny and enlightening hour. We chat in-depth about the ins and outs of cosplay culture, the torturous experiences that are Ren Faires, and some good Thrones book-to-show comparisons (everyone on the show should be uglier for accuracy's sake). Put this one in your ears. You won't be sorry.

Alex and Johnny welcome guests Anthony Reyes and Rashaad Santiago from SyFy's "Face/Off"! We sit down with our two delightful guests at Cos-Losseum 2016, a cosplay convention in San Diego for an awesome discussion the show from the perspective of the makeup/fx department. To be fair, this episode turned out to be so much more than that, though. We talk Thrones theorycraft, Emilia Clarke gossip, on-set dos and don'ts, what it's like to film a smartphone screen, and Cersei's ratched, ratched wig. Tune in at the end for Anthony and Rashaad's Best and Worst Thrones makeup/FX moments. It's become one of our favorite segments.

Alex and Johnny sit down with Dan Posey, founder of the Cosplay Initiative, the company behind Cos-Losseum 2016, the cosplay convention we attended this weekend. We discuss the con's origins, charitable donations, and Dan's personal cosplay preferences (step off, Superman). There's a bit of background noise due to the fact that we're recording live from the middle of the con, but the important stuff is audible, scout's honor.

Johnny and Alex discuss episode 9 of season 2 of "Game of Thrones" - "Blackwater." A little weary from the cosplay convention they attended this weekend (hold your applause), they decide to try out a new format this week. Instead of a straight recap, we pick our Top 10 Favorite Things from this hour chock full of comedy, gore and attempted infanticide. See the list below for guidance, and let us know if you think we missed something! Oh! And you can find us on Stitcher now! Please rate and comment if that's where you're listening.

"Blackwater Top Ten" --------

10. The Explosion - The part when the ships blow up.

9.   Pyromancer Hallyne - Tyrion makes him the happiest man in Westeros.

8.   The Gore - This was a bloody one. And a gross one. 

7.   Tyrion's "Strategy" - Molotov Cocktail, archers, drop rocks, fight, TUNNELS

6.   The Hound's Feelings - His heart grows a few sizes bigger this ep.

5.   Podrick Motherfucking Payne - nuff said.

4.   Gallows Humor - A surprisingly witty hour alongside all the graphic violence.

3.   Stannis' Committment - This is when he goes from Stannis to Stannis the Mannis.

2.   Tyrion's Speech - "Don't fight for riches because you won't get any." #truth

1.   Drunk Cersei - DRUNK CERSEI

Part. II - Alex and Johnny welcome Clotho and Guile from "Close the Door and Come Here," a "Game of Thrones"/A Song of Ice and Fire Podcast, with leanings toward the Jaime/Brienne relationship. We thought them fitting guest hosts considering episode 8 of season 2, "The Prince of Winterfell" is the first episode that prominently features the Jaime/Brienne ship! But we covered that in Part I, so Part II is focused entirely on Stannis proposing to Davos the night before they attack Kings Landing, Tyrion freaking out about Stannis attacking Kings Landing, Cersei kidnapping the wrong ho, and Arya straight OWNING Jaq'en Ha'gar and buying herself a ticket out of Harrenhal. She's so freaking dope. She slapped me in the face once. It was awesome.

Time Codes: 

00:00:00 - Harrenhal/Arya

00:21:28 - Qarth/Dany

00:23:06 - Blackwater Bay/Stannis

00:29:57 - Kings Landing/Tyrion

Since Johnny's out of town, Alex and guest-host Chadwick Hubbard talk episode 6 of season 2 of "Game of Thrones," "The Old Gods and the New," and the corresponding chapters in A Clash of Kings. MUCH in the way of plot happens this episode - Jon meets Ygritte and one of the most accurate phrases in history is born. At Harrenhal, Arwin keeps reminding us all why they should have been shipped WAY harder, in Kings Landing the Hound rescues Sansa from almost rape, and Tyrion pimpslaps Joffrey for causing a riot. And finally, in the horror aisle, that bald drag queen magician steals Dany's dragons, and we finally get to see the look on someone's face as they're beheaded. Thanks, Theon. RIP, Roderik Cassel. You were a true knight.

Time Codes if you don't care about how Chadwick and Alex know each other or their thoughts on Vegas:

00:00:00 Intro

00:07:05 Theon/Winterfell

00:20:20 Jon/North of the Wall

00:37:00 Robb/Talisa/Catelyn/Westerlands

00:47:10 Sansa/Tyrion/Kings Landing

01:02:28 Arya/Petyr/Tywin/Harrenhal

01:16:36 Danerys/Qarth
