About this episode

The episode reviews the premiere of HBO's Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, discussing its world-building and comparisons to Game of Thrones.

The boys are back this week diving into HBO’s newest journey into Westeros with Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. We break down the premiere, the world building, and what this smaller, more grounded story brings to the ever expanding Game of Thrones universe. From first impressions of Dunk and Egg to the tone, pacing, and how it compares to past HBO fantasy epics, we cover the highs, the question marks, and everything in between. We also talk expectations for the rest of the season, standout moments that caught our attention, and whether this series has what it takes to stand on its own outside the shadow of dragons, thrones, and large scale wars. Grab your cloak and settle in, because we’ve got plenty of takes, laughs, and speculation for what’s to come in Westeros.
