Johnny and Alex talk Episode 6 of Season 6 of HBO's "Game of Thrones," "Blood of my Blood." Come join us for a few hours of discussion during which we cackle over Tarly family dinners, Walder Frey's desperate need of therapy and just what the hell crawled up the Waif's ass.

Johnny, Alex and special guest, Chadwick Hubbard sit down to sink their teeth in a little deeper into episode 4 of season 6 of "Game of Thrones," "Book of the Stranger"!

Alex and Johnny discuss of episode 4 of season 6 of HBO's "Game of Thrones." Alex calls it one of the best episodes of television she's ever seen, but Johnny? Not so much! Tune in to listen to us fight it out in one of TWO episodes this week (we're doing a "Take 2" Thursday mornings from now on!). We also share details about our upcoming live shows at the Impro Theater and the Hollywood Improv, our new Patreon campaign (www.gotthrones.com/patreon), not to mention debuting our new, fan-created theme song.

Alex and Johnny talk episode 3 of season 6 of HBO's "Game of Thrones," "Oathbreaker." There's a bit of a glitch and the part of our discussion that focuses on Qyburn and his army of children is missing (I know, I'm rekt, too), but there's roughly two other hours of audio for you to enjoy! If you don't make it to the end of the podcast, hear this! We are taking theme song submissions from you! Call 213-290-4492 and give us your best rendition of the GoT theme and we'll feature the best/funniest/most ridiculous one on the show next week as our theme song! You can also e-mail a recording to gotthronespodcast@gmail.com.

Alex and Johnny dive into season 6, episode 2 of HBO's Game of Thrones, "Home." We were more shocked at the tragic and gratuitous death of our beloved Fat Walda than that Jon started breathing again.

Alex and star of Funny or Die's "Gay of Thrones" Jonathan Van Ness gab about "Gay of Thrones," his new podcast, "Getting Curious" and, of course, the haps in the Seven Kingdoms circa Season 5 and what we might expect in Season 6. What we know for certain? Loras needs to stay pretty and Anastasia (Romanov) was more than just a cartoon, y'all. --------------------------------------

We also get into the new biweekly science show Rileah's executive producing for Comic-Con's new VOD channel, and our ideal geek code of conduct. Enjoy!

Johnny and Alex return from their triumphant trip to SVCC to discuss episode 8 of season 3 of HBO's "Game of Thrones," "Second Sons." This is the one where Gendry makes the colossal mistake of not establishing a safe word with Melisandre, Dany acquires some new muscle... naked..., and Tyrion and Sansa have the BEST. WEDDING. EVER. Oh, Cersei threatens Margery's life because, #SISTERHOOD. -------------------------------------

Alex and Johnny sit down with David J. Peterson, conlanger and creator of the Dothraki and Valyrian languages for HBO's "Game of Thrones." In customary GoT Thrones? fashion, we cover a wide range of topics including but not limited to GoT, David's new documentary, "Conlanging," and Jason Momoa's flair for Dothraki. Oh, and we inspired David to create a Dothraki word for "goat town." N. B. D.

Johnny and Alex discuss the masterful episode 6 of season 3 of HBO's "Game of Throne," "The Climb." The hosts agree that this was a brilliant hour of television and basically fan out over every minute from Theon's introduction to the Bolton family pastime to Edmure's... hesitant acceptance of a Frey bride to Jon and Ygritte's sweet, but doomed romance. We also mull over what a spa day in As'hai might look like. Weird, is the answer.

We haven't done a news ep in a minute, so here's a short one. Alex and Johnny talk about the lack of press screeners coming out for "Game of Thrones" season 6. They also talk about Ian McShane's big mouth all but spoiling the comeback of a "beloved character thought to be dead." But we kind of already knew about that one, so there's more jabber about him being placed on "American Gods." Also, Loras Tyrell might die (yawn) because Finn Jones has been cast in "The Iron Fist"! Huzzah? We'll be back next Monday, March 7th covering "The Climb."

Johnny and Alex talk episode 5 of season 3 of HBO's "Game of Thrones," "Kissed By Fire." The Hound faces his fear of fire and kills Beric Dondarrion, but wait! There's more! Thoros of Myr turns out to be REALLY good at his job and brings Beric back to life making it seem like there's something to this R'Hollor guy after all. Who knew? In other news, Robb kills the Karstark, Tywin plays matchmaker and Ygritte takes Jon's v-card. Oh, and Jaime and Brienne take a very memorable bath. Light some candles, it's a sexy one. -------------------------------------

Alex and Johnny talk episode 4 of season 3 of HBO's "Game of Thrones," "And Now His Watch is Ended." This is the one where Jeor gets stabbed in the back by a whiny dope not worth mentioning. Craster dies, too, though, so it's not ALL bad. Also, Olenna, Varys and Margery awesome all over Kings Landing, giving Sansa false hope for her future, Arya meets Berrick "Robin Hood" Dondarrion, Theon gets PUNK'D and Dany murders a bunch of people in Astapor. But she does it with serious style, so we're not mad at her.

Alex and Johnny discuss episode 3 of season 3 of HBO's "Game of Thrones," "A Walk of Punishment." This is another kitchen sink episode, equal parts disturbing an hilarious. Theon gets near-raped and Jaime loses his hand, but Hot Pie waves an adorable goodbye, and Pod loses his V-card, so there's something for everyone. -----------------------------------------------------------

We're not rereading as formally anymore, but if you'd like to - here's a handy guide to help you follow along. http://i.imgur.com/lceExOP.jpg

Joining us late? Just want to listen us without getting emotionally gutted a second time by re-experiencing the Red Wedding? We recap the episode play-by-play in the podcast, so you should be able to enjoy without sacrificing valuable "Downton Abbey" time.

The rewatch continues with episode 2 of season 3 of HBO's "Game of Thrones," "Dark Wings, Dark Words." Despite some of the usual death and torture, this episode is positively lighthearted in the grand scheme of things. Brienne and Jaime have about ten minutes of hilarious banter before they get themselves captured, Margery shows us all what a boss looks like when she gets Joffrey to like her without wanting to see her insides and Lady MFin' Olenna arrives with her Cheeseboy to show Kings Landing what no fuck's given REALLY looks like. Move over, Tywin. Oh, and we also meet Ramsay Bolton, but that won't be important until later. RIP Hoster Tully.-------------------------------------------------------

Johnny and Alex tackle the "Game of Thrones" season 2 finale and season 3 premiere in one episode - believe it or not, it wasn't our longest! "Valar Morghulis" is the kitchen sink episode in which every storyline but Davos' is tied up for season 2, and "Valar Doheris" is the one where that guy cuts off another guy's nipple. And then that guy thanks him for it. #unsullieddon'tcare-----------------------------------------

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.
