Ashamed of Thrones
by Martin Miggs
A weekly 'Game of Thrones' recap show, from a critical, yet uninformed, book-reader perspective. Are there too many 'Game of Thrones' recap podcasts out there already? You bet. So why start one now? Well, the show has now fully outpaced the books and we predict a steady decline in quality due to lack of source material. We also believe there is no avoiding major plot spoilers even if one chooses to refrain from watching the show. It is such a pop-culture behemoth that great secrets will be ruined by your grandmother or obnoxious coworkers. So to help you cope, we started "Ashamed of Thrones.' So, commiserate with Doug and Brian every week as they trudge through every episode.
Episodes
-
HOT D S2E8 - Wet Fart
The season 2 finale was disappointing to say the least. Maybe the early success of season 1 gave the show runners a big head.
-
HOT D S2E6 & 7 - Tryouts!
The boys limp their way through a couple of unremarkable episodes, save for the dragon riding tryouts.
-
HOT D S2E5 - Slumber Party
Some episodes have dragons, some are just place setting for a future pay off. Let’s hope Daemon’s hand falls off.
-
HOT D S2E3 & 4 - D on D Action
Dragon fight each other. It was pretty great.
-
HOT D S2E1 & 2 - Bad Parents
Sorry we are a day(many) late and a dollar short, be we're back to brief and ignorant talk about the first two episodes of House of The Dragon, Season 2
-
HOT D S1E10 - The Black Eyed Pea
Welp, this is it. Season one of House of The Dragon comes to an end. This show is better than it had any right to be, but the boys still have a few gripes about the final entry.
-
HOT D S1E9 - The Green Party
Brian thinks this is a 'whacky' episode. Doug thinks it is a 'crappy' episode. Either way, we're in for a good time talkin Episode 9, 'The Green Party.'
-
HOT D S1E7 - Hallmark
Kid fight! Things have gotten a little out of hand between The Princess and The Queen and battle lines have been drawn.
-
HOT D S1E6 - The Princess and The Pea
We do The Time Warp yet again. New actors everywhere and we say goodbye to some old friends.
-
HOT D S1E5 - We'll Leave the Light on for Ya
Sir Criston Cole’s been a bad, bad boy and we all have to clean up his mess.
-
HOT D S1E4 - King of the Narrow Skis
Brian and Doug grudgingly agree that this wasn't the best episode of House of The Dragon, despite the rampant nudity and incest.
-
HOT D S1E3 - Seventh of His Name
Brain is back to his old self as dissect the third episode of House of The Dragon. Spoiler Alert: Dress talk ahead!
-
HOT D S1E2 - The Rogue Prints
Nothing at all is wrong with Brian this week as HOT D kick it up a notch and delivers a very solid second episode.
-
HOT D S1E1 - Hairs of the Dragon
In the debut episode of House of the Dragon, Brain expresses his disgust at some of the show's choices, while Doug complains about wigs. All around good times!
-
Prepare for HOT D
We crawl back out of retirement for the first of several possible cash-grabs in the wake of Game of Throne ending. Will House of the Dragon be any good? The boys have thoughts....
-
Series Wrap-Up
We look back and contemplate just how much time we watsted in this endeavor.
-
Episode 80 - The Iron Throne
Woof! I thought I was past caring, but the final episode elicits plenty of emotions from Brian and myself. We stumble accross the finish line as we review ‘The Irone Throne.’
-
Episode 79 - The Bells
The show continues to go off the rails in the second to last episode of the series, 'The Bells.' Most of the outcomes of this huge battle are fine, it is just the horrible way we arrive at the various destinations that is the problem. Also, an exclusive interview!
-
Episode 78 - The Last of the Starks
Ah, the malaise of a life foolishly spent watching a TV show about dragons. Everything seems random, pointless, and unsatisfying. ...the music was nice.
-
Episode 77 - The Long Night
Well, that was a spectacle, but it all felt rather ...empty. So..the good guys win, the bad guys are bad...because they just are. Maybe the last three episodes can redeem this show, but right now, Ian McShane seems to have had the right of it. This show may just be "tits and dragons." ...damn.
-
Episode 76 - A Knight of The Seven Kingdoms
Bad news, Brian and Doug break up on this episode of the podcast. On the bright side, they both loved this episode of Game of Thrones, ‘A Knight of The Seven Kingdoms.’ Also, we rated it 4.5 out of 5.0 It is a 10 point scale …in .5 increments …can’t round up, etc
-
Episode 75 - Winterfell
The wait is over as the first episode of season 8 is here. ‘Winterfell’ set the table for the upcoming season, but did it live up to the overwhelming hype? ….no
-
Prophecies, Theories, and Predictions
Doug regales Brian with summaries of existing prophecies, some ridiculous theories, and a few predictions as we anticipated the final season of Game of Thrones.
-
Season 7 Best Of/Worst Of
Brian and Doug Look back at what they liked and hated about Game of Thrones' 7th season as the series finale looms.
-
Episode 72 - Season 7 Recap!
Doug is joined by Jeff Van Dreason of the 'Greater Boston' podcast. Brian couldn't be bothered to show up for the season 7 recap, but it's addition by subtraction. Without Brian's dead weight, the episode really breathes. Anyways, enjoy it while you can , guys. We are going dark until Season 8…
more -
Episode 71 - The Dragon and The Wolf S7E7
So after a season that asked us to turn off out brains in exchange for spectacle, only this episode lacked spectacle. Sure, some things happened, but no surprises, no emotionally crushing deaths, worst of all...no female nudity. ...and now our watch begins.
-
Episode 70 - Beyond the Wall
This one was bonkers. It's been said by better people than us, but this is Game of Thrones at its best and its worst right now. Undeniably epic and beautifully shot, the show keeps asking us to stretch our suspension of disbelief past the point of propriety. Who will hold this show in check? Doug...
-
Episode 69(eh-eh) - Eastwatch S7E5
The western theme continues as the "dirty dozen" of Westeros assembles. Cersei has a gross bun in the gross oven and turns of you be the king of...well, everything. Brian and Doug smash up episode 5 of season of Game of Throne, entitled 'Eastwatch.' ashamedofthrones.com
-
Episode 68 - The Spoils of War S7E4
Wow! We finally get to see full-grown dragons on the battlefield and it was spectacular. Not much to criticize on this episode.... Who am I kidding? There is always something to criticize. This week, Doug and Brian tackle Season 7 Episode 4 of Game of Thrones, 'The Spoils of War.'
-
Episode 67 - The Queen's Justice S7E3
So Season 7 plows ahead at warp speed with Season 7 Episode 3,’The Queen’s Justice’. As “Snacks” points out, this is an episode of first and callbacks. You would think that would be good enough, but upon further consideration, most of it was a let down. Storing acting performances once again...
-
Episode 66 - Stormborn S7E2
We are back with a super-sized episode of 'Ashamed of Thrones.' Spoiler Alert, we actually like this episode.... Well, most of it. Strap in because we talk 'Stormborn,' Episode 2 of Season 7 of A Game of Thrones
-
Episode 65 - Dragonstone S7E1
So, its the Season 7 premiere...and i couldn't have come at a worse time. I'm without my computer, I'm dealing with a cold and Germiane shows up. Despite all this, we have a great time basking in the glow of a new season of Game of Thrones.
-
Episode 64 - Mother's Mercy S5E10
Thank the gods, that is over. We finish our entire series rewatch strong with the season 5 finale, "Mother's Mercy." The boys are excited for next week's Season 7 premiere and also to gain relevance again. Until then, enjoy this Germaine-free episode of Ashamed of Thrones.
-
Episode 63 - The Dance of Dragons S5E9(again for the first time)
Your favorite idiots jump in the wayback machine. This is the second of two unreleased episodes that we did as "practice" for our season 6 debut. May god have mercy on your soul.
-
Episode 62 - The Dance of Dragons
So, after two weeks of shenanigans, Doug and Brian return to form. If only we could say the same for the show. The "Season of Suffering" continues in the tough to watch penultimate season finale, 'The Dance of Dragons.'
-
Episode 61 - Hardhome S5E8(Again for the First Time!)
We get in the way back machine and travel back to 2016. Back when we thought dead celebrities were something to complain about. This is the first episode we ever recorded. A Trial run for of what would become the most well regarded podcast on the internet. Sure, it's a little shaky, but you can…
more -
Episode 60 - Hardhome S5E8
Sometimes things get a little stale and you got to try something new. Something bold. Something different. You step to the edge, take a deep breath, and jump. Most of the time, you land flat on your face. But sometimes…if you’re lucky… you knock it out of the F’n park. We provide a running…

Episode 59 - The Gift
We are knee deep in Season 5. This time we tackle a misery filled episode that isn't as brutal as last week's, so things are looking up? In 'The Gift,' we get to deal with dementia, spousal abuse, looming blood sacrifices and only the threat of sexual violence. ...hooray!
-
Episode 58 - Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken S5E6
Universally panned as one of the worst episodes of Game of Thrones, this episode a brutal violation of someone we hold in high regard...the viewer. Also, Sansa doesn't have it have a great time either.
-
Episode 57 - Kill The Boy S5E5
Brian and Doug are back at it again. This time with Episode 5 of Season 5, 'Kill The Boy.' It's not the worst episode in the world, but we are definitely knee deep in the Season 5 doldrums.
-
Episode 56 - Sons of The Harpy
There are times when this show transcends being mere TV Show and rises to the lofty heights of fine art. ...however, this isn't one of those times.
-
Episode 55 - High Sparrow S5E3
Politics and religion and two topics you shouldn't bring up in polite conversation, and we wish the show would have both subjects on this "gem" of a episode from Season 5, 'High Sparrow.'
-
Episode 54 - The House of Black and White
Like a little kid trying to play Tchaikovsky after one lesson, The Double D's start the Drone storyline and we immediately want it to stop. Thank the gods, Doug and Brian are here to make it all better.
-
Episode 53 - The Wars to Come
Tyrion drank himself across the narrow sea, but Varys, like us viewers, had to deal with the poop. We review the season 5 premiere of Game of Thrones, 'The Wars to Come'
-
Episode 52 - The Children
Season 4's finale wasn't a disappointment. Despite a few "head scratchers," the guys enjoyed this rare exciting season send off.
-
Episode 51 - The Watchers on The Wall S4E9
Another Season, another episode 9. This one doesn’t disappoint with Neil Marshall at the helm, ‘The Watchers on The Wall’ takes on block-buster movie scope. Most of the argument is centered around where this ranks, in terms of all time great episodes of ‘A Game of Thrones.’ Also, Brain farts a lot.
-
Episode 50 - The Mountain and The Viper S4E8
If you ever wanted a long monologue about killing beetles, this is the episode for you.
-
Episode 49 - Mockingbird S4E7
Oh boy, this one's full of creeps. Dario sneaks into women bedroom to "surprise" them and Little Finger hits on girls by talking about how hot their moms were. Also, The Mountain smash!
-
Episode 48 - The Laws of Gods and Men S4E6
So Tyrion's trial starts and it goes as expected, as the does the podcast. Brian is especially aggravated as we discuss the similarities between Theon's failed prison break and the Enron scandal.
