Fire & Lunch PieCast

Episode 37 FireandLunch PieCast S5E9: The Dance of Dragons

Welcome the PieCast! Join Jenny, Rachel and Katie as we discuss the penultimate, much-anticipated episode 9 of Game of Thrones Season 5, The Dance of Dragons. 

We begin, middle and end the episode with a tribute to and lament for poor little Shireen Baratheon. In between sobs, we discuss the endlessly boring storyline in Dorne, Arya's moves along the Braavosi chess board, and one of the best/worst escapes we've seen on TV this year. (For one. Sorry, entire court of Dany Targaryen. You should be fine. Probably.) 

As always, here there be spoilers. Only until next week, though. Then we're all on our own! 

#PieCast: Episode 37: S5E9 The Dance of Dragons. Featuring Jenny, Rachel and Katie. Running Time: 1 hour and 20 minutes.

Episode 36 FireandLunch PieCast S5E8: Hardhome

Karsi, we hardly knew ye. 

Welcome to the all-Brigade episode of the PieCast! Join Jess, Megan and Katie (with Jenny assisting in spirit) as we discuss the frighteningly awesome episode that was Hardhome. Our thirst for Jon Snow is about as real as Cersei's in the Black Cells, AMIRITE? ;D

...Too soon? Okay.

With ratings that swing as high as we've ever had them on the podcast, we talk about the value of Tyrion in the Meereen storyline, how shitty an ex Jorah is, the growth of the story's mythology in Hardhome's final battle (Valyrian steel kills the Others! The White Walkers have an organizational structure and goals!), and the overall encompassing awesomeness that is Wun Wun. 

Clocking in at 93 minutes, buckle in for a wildly enthusiastic slice of Pie. 

As always, here be spoilers. Listener beware!

#PieCast: Episode 36: S5E8 Hardhome. Featuring Megan, Katie and Jess. Running Time: 1 hour and 33 minutes.

Oh, Jorah. Worst. Present. EVER.

We review Dany and Tyrion's meet cute, the soundness of Jon Snow's political choices, and the absolute thrill of Cersei's well-earned "oh shit" face. We may or may not rage at the Dorne and Winterfell storylines. (Who are we kidding, of course we do.)

Spoilers galore, buyer beware, shhh just press play.

Episode 34 FireandLunch PieCast S5E6: Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken

FireandLunch tackles the most divisive episode of Game of Thrones yet.

Thank you Stannis the grammar nazi! We will be sure to get that right next time. 

Join us this week as we discuss Kill The Boy [no actual boys were harmed in the making of this PieCast...only metaphorical ones]! We debate who is worse between Ramsay and Roose, the validity of lighting candles in broken towers to call for help, the nuances of Jon's word choices, and whether or not this whole story could end with a Stone Men Utopia.

Oh look! The pie!

This week, the Ladies of FireandLunch discuss our experiences at New York Comic Con. We talk choking chickens, the merkin man, meeting our literary heroes, or life ruiners as the case may be, dressing up as obscure book characters and overzealous security guards.

Mostly, we are generally ridiculous as we tend to be.

And really, Cary Elwes, Rachel is still waiting for that water.

Probably not too many spoilers unless you've never seen the Princes Bride, but you've been warned anyway.

Join us as we discuss the finer points of solving the most important algebra problem in Westeros as we delve into the myriad of theories about Jon Snow's parentage from the correct to the ridiculous as well as some other algebra problems involving some T's and C's and J's. Basically, everyone is a secret Targaryen (maybe even us) and none of it matters because it will all end horribly when the snows fall a hundred feet deep and the ice wind comes howling out of the north […] and the white walkers move through the woods…

Oh my sweet summer child, here there be spoilers.

Sit back and enjoy a slice of theoretical pie and ask "what if" with us.

And like our favorite Night’s Watchmen, we know nothing as displayed in this podcast.

So sit back, pour a glass of Dornish Swill, and enjoy some pie for two.
