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

In the inaugural "Not Thrones" episode, Johnny and Alex take a break from Thrones to discuss "Star Wars: The Force Awakens"... and the 35 GoT actors who happen to be in it. Johnny fangurls out about pretty much everything but the movie theater itself, and corrects Alex when she calls TIE Fighters "planes." This is an informal discussion of the film, not quite a review and definitely not a play-by-play recap. Spoilers ALL, however. Seriously.
Time Codes:
00:00 - General speculation, cameos and cool Easter eggs
22:03 - Film discussion

Johnny and Alex discuss episode 5 of season 2 of "Game of Thrones," "The Ghost of Harrenhal" along with the corresponding chapters of A Clash of Kings. Spoilers ALL. Not much plot movement here (aside from Renly's untimely demise), but plenty of discovery. Arya finds out she can Postmate murder, Theon realizes that his new crew feels the same way about him that his family does, Tyrion figures out Cersei's entire defensive strategy is a giant Molotov cocktail (and he's not mad at it), and Dany Paris Hiltons all over Qarth, but learns of Bobby B's death between cocktails. Time to invade Westeros now that her dragons can ALMOST cook a cube of meat.
Oh, and Beyond the Wall, the audience finds out that Chuck Norris moved to Westeros, and he goes by the name of Quorin fucking Halfhand.
Aside from Renly's death, this episode was an honest to goodness barrel of laughs, so we went a little long.. If you're reading along with us, here's a handy guide to help you follow along, since season 2 doesn't follow ACOC quite as neatly as season 1 followed GoT..
