537 – A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, Actor’s Awards, Paramount Buys Warner Bros

About this episode

The hosts discuss A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, recent Actor's Awards, and the acquisition of Warner Bros by Paramount.

This week, everyone manages to make it back into the War Room, but also manage to not mention the very real war that started since last episode. Don’t worry, though, a Canadian listener writes in prompting David to give hockey opinions and all of us to give dour patriotism opinions. Then, into the show, as your hosts seem to heartily recommend A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms‘ first season on HBO, Katey informs the guys about the changes to the awards landscape after SAG’s Actor Awards were given out, then everyone turns their speculation on the recent announcement that Paramount/Skydance, not Netflix, is buying Warner Bros.
