Welcome to the season 8 premiere of Take the Black Podcast with House Razor, the family member Take the Black Live with House Selcke doesn’t like to talk about and keeps locked in the basement. On this week’s episode, we discuss and dissect every little thing about the Game of Thrones season 8 premiere, “Winterfell.” Our topics:

  • We totally dig the new intro.
  • Why can’t someone bring Bran inside from the cold? The kid is literally outside the entire episode.
  • Sansa earned respect this episode, but was it forced by the writers? We debate.
  • Why can’t Daenerys learn to read the room? Why does everyone have to respect her and bend the knee?
  • Which reunions were our favorite?
  • Poor Ned Umber. Why did the Night King leave him on the wall like that? Did he know Beric, Tormund and Edd would find his message? Also, why did he look like a shrimp cocktail?
