Take the Black Live: Let’s discuss the latest Winds of Winter update

It’s time for Take the Black Live, where we discuss all things sci-fi, fantasy, TV, books and movies. But let’s be real: this week it’s all about the fact that George R.R. Martin decided to give us a thousand-word update on The Winds of Winter, something that almost never happens. We look way too deeply into it and come away feeling pretty optimistic:

Okay, I may have lied a bit up there. The Winds of Winter isn’t the only thing we talk about. We also discuss the news that Michael Keaton may be returning as Batman, and what that implies for the DC Extended Universe. Speaking of extended universes, did you hear that Disney may be planning one around The Mandalorian? And finally, is HBO’s new gritty period piece Perry Mason worth your time?

We prerecorded the episode this week in the interest of letting Mia off early to enjoy her birthday (happy birthday, Mia), but we’ll be back live this upcoming Wednesday at 4:00 p.m. on our Facebook page. See you then!
