Welcome to another fun and exciting episode of Take the Black Podcast with House Razor, the crying baby on Take the Black Live with House Selcke’s 12-hour flight. This week, we pick apart that Game of Thrones season 8 teaser like a pack of hungry direwolves. Then, we introduce a brand new segment called “What If?” where we talk about a major event from the show and what led up to it, and how the outcome affected where we are now, approaching season 8. This week, it’s all about the Battle of the Blackwater.

Don’t forget: the Take the Black Podcast is now on iTunes, and Google Play! Please subscribe and download from there if you can. Also, you can help us out by giving us a five-star rating and leaving a friendly comment! We’re also now on Spreaker, so try us there, as well.

Our topics include:

  • Who or what is Sansa mean-mugging in the season 8 teaser?
  • What one event opened the door for Stannis to attack King’s Landing?
  • Who was the MVP of the Battle of the Blackwater?
  • How would events change if Tyrion Lannister wasn’t in King’s Landing acting as Hand of the King during this time?
  • How did the battle’s outcome shape Westeros and get us to where we are?

As usual, Take the Black is on the NSFW side of things, so please watch out for F-bombs.
