This week on Take the Black, we discuss the latest House of the Dragon set photos, chat with the editor of The Curious Viewer, and more!

Another week, another fantastic episode of Take the Black. And this week, we open with another special guest: Mental Floss managing editor Jennifer M. Wood, who tells us all about the new book from her and her team: The Curious Viewer. If you’re a fan of Game of ThronesDoctor Who, or good TV in general, this book is for you!

Also, we absolutely had to discuss the latest pictures leaking from the set of House of the Dragon, and they’re plenty exciting.

Come for the House of the Dragon set photos, stay for the excellent commentary on the questionable quality of wigs HBO is providing for the actors:

Next up, we head to Marvel-land to discuss the upcoming Sony movie Venom: Let There Be Carnage. More specifically, we ponder whether Spider-Man could show up, now or later.

But do the Venom movies really need Spidey? Can’t we just appreciate Andy Serkis’ new film without throwing Spider-Man into it? We get into it.

Finally, we took a look back at some of our favorite (and least favorite) moments from this year’s Emmys. I also share my review for Star Wars: Visions, the anime anthology series that’s now on Disney+. And don’t forget to stick around until the end for our WiC News Lightning Round, which is filled with some great headlines and even greater reactions from us.
