Welcome to another Take the Black Live, the show where we break down the latest Game of Thrones and Song of Ice and Fire news, and thank goodness, because a lot happened this week. Watch! Discuss! Rant!

The Take the Black Podcast is 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.

Some of the topics we hit include:

  • HBO released five seconds of footage from Game of Thrones season 8 and we nerd out all over it. Then the conversation turn unexpectedly into the wisdom of Jon and Daenerys banging down at sea, but we soon get back on track.
  • HBO released the names of the principle cast members for its Game of Thrones prequel show! Who are they and what do they tell us about the still-mysterious series?
  • People sure are talking a lot about superheroes these days. Who are we to ignore them?

It’s possible I made Cheryl a little uncomfortable, but I didn’t know the topic of boatsex was going to come up. Sorry, Cheryl!
