Ep 131: House of the Dragon Season 2 (HBO MAX, 2024)

Today we’re reviewing the premiere episode of the much-awaited GoT prequel, “House of the Dragon.” Emma D’Arcy, Olivia Cooke, Matt Smith, and Rhys Ifans reprise their roles as the adult members of the Targaryen and Hightower clans, who last season were poised to clash in civil war. Despite the two year delay between seasons, viewers occupy the immediate aftermath of King Viserys’ death and the succession crisis it creates. Now the children of these two families (the Greens and the Blacks, as fans colloquially know them) exercise an outsized impact on events, and we watch as clashing egos, heartbreaks, and vendettas sleepwalk King’s Landing toward catastrophe. Join us for discussion and analysis of season 2 of HBO MAX’s “House of the Dragon.”Follow us on your favorite podcast platform for more!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@middaymusingspod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Linktree⁠: ⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/middaymusingspod⁠⁠
