FINALE RECAP: Ben's Here, Dany's Dead, and We Have Questions
Guys, this was it! The final episode of perhaps the most culturally significant fictional television show of our lifetimes. Harry and I are joined by good friend and executive chef at Hull's Kitchen Ben Wicks, and we get DEEP into the meat of the episode, the season, and the series. This is a…

MAD QUEEN ACTIVATED: Varys Was Right, Dragon Zamboni, and CLEGANEBOWL!!!
It's the penultimate episode of Game of Thrones, and tensions are running HOT across Westeros. Harry and I dive deep into this lengthy, sometimes gratuitously violent episode, touching everything from the human cost of genocide-by-dragon to our affinity for the Red Keep's Map Room (RIP). We also...
-
DRAGON DOWN: Theon's Actually Dead, Ghost Deserved Better, and Two Heavyweights Go Down
Our hearts are heavy this week for many reasons. First and foremost, because the writers seem to have mailed it in towards the end. We chat about that. Secondly, because it's apparently so goodamn expensive to CGI a direwolf that Jon couldn't even give Ghost a goodbye boop. We chat about that…

THE BATTLE OF WINTERFELL: Giant Undead Ricky, Friendzone Hall of Fame, and Hot Knife Tricks
Guys, I done goofed up. We had a whole podcast recorded in two parts - one before the soccer game that we played on Thursday night, and one after. During the editing/uploading process, this big dumb idiot somehow overwrote the part we recorded before the soccer game, which covers roughly half the...
-
THE BONE BEFORE THE STORM: Arya Freakin', Bran Battle Plannin', and the KOOKIEST DRAGON THEORY EVER
We talk a WHOLE bunch about an episode where, according to many folks, not much happened. This was the calm before the storm situation, where our favorite heroes spent their last night among the living either drinking, fucking, apologizing, or doubling down on trying to get some serious action....
-
GAME OF JOKES: Premiere Reaction, We're Tired, and People are Horny
It was a classic premiere episode from everyone's favorite incest-laden fantasy dramedy, with lots of character reunions, pithy one-liners, gratuitous boobs, and dragon Uber rides to secluded snow sex sierras. We kinda zoomed through this one because it's been a WEEKEND, Harry had to go to…

FINAL SEASON PREVIEW! Where are they now, trailer reactions, and death pools
YOU GUYS IT'S ALMOST HERE! The final season of Game of Thrones descends upon us like winter, which is to say, slowly but surely. This is a pretty classic episode of Bone Up On Your Thrones, where we ramble on about whatever crops up in the old skull, including who's gonna die, who's gonna live,...
-
SUMMER SURPRISE! Reckless Recaps, Take Quakes, and World Cup Houses
It's June and we're sorely missing some Thrones in our life. And if we're missing Game of Thrones, we can only imagine how much YOU'RE missing THIS podcast! Harry and I sit down to confusedly hash out the previous season, make some speculative guesses as to how the final season will play out, and...
-
Queries and Theories: Three Guys, In Memoriam, and LTT
In the final episode of the penultimate season of Bone Up On Your Thrones, your fearless podcast leaders are joined by good friend of the pod Greg Hall, a resident of the greater Atlanta metro area who decided to fly up to Boston on a whim because he had a bunch of miles on his credit card and he...
-
S3E8 Part 1: Sleuthy Sluts, Friendly Offscreen Dragons, and Blue Fire
The Game of Thrones season 7 finale was so big, so beefy, so downright girthy, that we had no choice but to split our recap into two parts. In this episode you'll find Harry and I diving deep into the melee, with discussions on the potential NSFW antics Qyburn was planning with that wight's hand,...
-
S3E7: Edmund's Monster Babies, King Butthead's Javelin, and the Big Chain Salesman
Whilst currently on a conference call with some very important people, I nevertheless have persisted and posted this episode. Harry and I plow through a discussion of the penultimate episode of Thrones's penultimate season in much the same way as Gendry plowed through the snows of the North. Arya...
-
S3E6: King Grumpy, MiniBoy and BaldyButt, and Accordions in a Blender
It's like 1:30 in the morning and I have to get up at 6:30. You're not getting much in the way of a description. Fresh off a heartbreaking L in the soccer finals, Harry and I discuss the Thrones's latest episode. It's cool. Guys go beyond the wall, women talk about pregnancy, dragons snuff dudes...
-
S3E5: Stark Family Reunion, Cavebound Sexplorations, and Soggy Jamie
You guys. This episode was massively dope. Drogon was unleashed to the fullest and Dany had that crazy look in her eye where you just knew she was thinking, "Let's get it on." Seriously, the fourth ep of Thrones' seventh season delivered from beginning to end, and Harry and I went long and deep…

S3E4: Alessia Cara, Pepto Pistorius, and Charlie Like a Rock Star
Back at it again! with the fresh GoT takes. Fresh off a hugeeee soccer dub, Rob and I discuss the girl he made cry that one time, a whole lot of fingers in bums, and we are reminded that dragons DO in fact exist. We got a heaping pile of listener questions to sort through - and decided whether or...
-
S3E3: First Encounters, Beautiful Barbarians, and Uncle Charlie's Bloodbath
It's the second episode of the seventh season of Game of Thrones, and boy was it a doozy. Harry and I have hit our stride just in time, and we yammer on about scaly boys, the Lord's Kiss as performed by a Ken doll, huge unwieldy crossbows and magical wind-aided raven flights. In addition, there's...
-
S3E2: Dragonstone, Zombie Boogers, and Ed Sheeran
Praise the Old Gods and the New, for Game of Thrones has returned! In this episode Harry and I go deep on the Season 7 premiere, including discussions about that sweet new map room Cersei's trotting around in, how many ice zombies you could fuck up with one Valyrian steel sword, and a few lengthy...
-
S3E1: There's Two of Them!
WELCOME BACK TO THE THRONES! In today's episode we meet our fearless new cohost Harry Tyrell. Get it, cuz their sigil is a rose? Anyway, Harry and I have just returned from a life-affirming Third Eye Blind concert, and we're not not drunk. So this one's a little interesting. We jabber on about...
-
S2E7: Jon's Lineage, Cersei's Pyrotechnics, and Much More
We've made it to the end of another season of Game of Thrones. And unlike in previous seasons, this finale was an absolute doozy. Huge news from pretty much every corner of the known world; if this universe had Twitter, shit would have been popping off. Come for the episode discussion, stay for…
more -
S2E6: Bastards, Boltons, and Bloodshed
The penultimate episode of this season was, as usual, fucking awesome. We had dragons burning ships, shield walls encircling men, giants punching through gates... it was an absolute fiesta of carnage. Let's get into it. Also, I forgot to do the outro song and (AGAIN) forgot to credit my man Jaron...
-
S2E5: Offscreen Deaths, Hanging Parties, and Cersei's Big Rumor
So there's been a bit of a gap. I went to a wedding, I went to a different country, and I've generally been slacking on the podcast front. But BUOYT is back in a big way this week, with potentially the longest episode of the show. There were an enormous amount of audience questions covering a…
more -
S2E4: RIP Hodor, Fuck Bran, WTF Weiner
We're back, and we're sad. And we're overwhelmed. And we're reeling from revelations. And we're talking in the royal "we." And we're starting every sentence the same. That all stops now. Join me in this episode that covers Hodor's crazy, 20-year story arc, Bran's bafflingly idiotic decision to...
-
S2E3: Back After a Hiatus
What's up ladies and gentlemen, we're back at it again. After a week hiatus due to a bout with greyscale, the pod has returned with a rather healthy episode in both length and content. Contained within are speculations, discussions, and grievances on such topics as Ramsay's importance to the…

S2E2: Part Two
Here's part 2 of this week's episode. Splitting them up to try and get this whole iTunes shindig going. Again, yuge thanks to all who sent in queries. Keep it up!
-
S2E2: A Two-Parter
Oh shit! Jon Snow lives! But you knew that would happen. On this episode, I chat about that, plus a whole lot of other stuff including brainings, patricide, power vacuums, and a Leo DiCaprio movie (not The Revenant, despite the thematic similarities). Also, I ran a bit long (over the half hour...
-
S2E1: We're Back!
Praise the Old Gods and the New, for Game of Thrones is back, baby! In this relatively, sorta-kinda-brief episode we revisit the season premiere which featured everything from backstabbing to frontstabbing to an ancient creature masquerading as a hot redhead. Basically everything that Thrones is...
-
S1E10: In Memoriam, Jon Theories, and The Dornish Debacle
We did it. We made it to the end. This episode has everything you could want, including a comprehensive in memoriam section. Yes, I included the dude who got his face impaled by the spear from Obara. I also discuss the season as a whole, the episode in specifics, and the places we might be going...
-
S1E9: Dragons, LeBron, and Super Smash Brothers
This is the longest episode of the podcast yet. But don't worry, it's only like 45 minutes. Maybe even a bit shorter. And there are bits in there that aren't even really that bad, if you pay little enough attention. I yammer on about my inability to predict anything in this damn show, discuss how...
-
S1E8: Hardhome
Because, really, what else happened in this episode? Well, actually, like 20 minutes of podcast happened before even getting into it. Somehow. But you should still listen, because we discuss how the White Walkers are hierarched (a word I just made up), why Sansa's scene was secretly the second…
more -
S1E7: Gifts, Eunuch Rankings, and Game of Bachelors
It's late, I had to be at work at 7:15 today, and I'm not interested in writing an episode description. I talk about some Thronesian stuff including how big of a dick Reek is despite not having one, which eunuch is the best, and also the first time the Queen of Thorns ever lost a conversation....
-
S1E6: Color-Coded Weddings, Bronn as Bond, and Starting to Get Reek
This past episode of Game of Thrones was incredible. I laughed. I cried. Well I didn't really cry because it's a TV show and I'm an adult, but watching Alfie Allen cry was not easy. That man already has a more famous sister, he shouldn't have to go through much more heartache. Regardless, we…
more -
S1E5: Valyria's History, Grey Worm's Love Problems, and the Rangers Game
The past episode of Game of Thrones wasn't good. There, I said it. Episode 5, "Kill the Boy," somehow managed to be both dull and infuriating at the same time. Dany barbecued a dude and it was all downhill from there. Fortunately, I watched the Rangers and Capitals in overtime in Game 7 during…
more -
S1E4: History of Meereen, Awesomeness of Bronn, and a Weakling Fight
Toppa the mornin' to ya! [Read that in Bronn's King's Landing accent]. Welcome to another episode of Bone Up On Your Thrones, the one and only podcast that is created by me. This episode contains some BOOK SPOILERS, so watch out. But honestly, they're kind of obvious at this point in the show…

S1E3: Hair Color, Eye Color, and Hypothetical Dragon Battles
Welcome back! After a week off for sick leave, we're back discussing the greatest contribution that a fat white man has made to American pop culture since James Gandolfini. In this episode I go on a vision quest discussing how big an influence physical descriptions play in this series, go through...
-
S1E2: A New Name, a New Season, and One Tiny Race
Ladles and jellyspoons, Welcome to Episode 2 of my "Game of Thrones" podcast, which now has a name! You can officially refer to this piece of wonderful auditory recording by the sensual name "Bone Up on Your Thrones." This name was suggested by listener and great friend Lauren Mack, so thank you...

S1E1: Who's Where, What Happened, and Where Are We Going?
