Synopsis – A modern take on Charles Dickens’s classic tale of a young orphan who is able to triumph over many obstacles. My Take – I am not sure if it is just me, but considering the gloomy time we live in, I was in no rush to seek out yet another Charles Dickens screen adaption.

The 2019 Primetime Emmy Awards nominations have been announced, and as always when it comes to this notoriously finnicky organization, it’s a mixed bag.

The overall reaction to Game of Thrones season 8 was, to put it charitably, a little split. No matter where you landed, I think we can all now agree that nothing in “The Long Night” or the sack of Winterfell came close to the highs of watching Kit Harington telling a video of his own baby face to “fuck off.” The incredibly charming little clip … Continue reading ‘Game of Thrones’ Reunion Clip Revealed!!

The pop culture world still hasn’t quite recovered from Game of Thrones‘ divisive series finale, which came to a close with—*spoilers*, I suppose—Bran “The Three-Eyed Raven” Stark (Isaac Hempstead Wright) as King of the Six-ish Kingdoms based on the idea he had the “best story,” despite the pint-sized assassin who saved literally all of mankind sitting just to his right. Some loved it, some hated … Continue reading ‘Game of Thrones’: Isaac Hempstead Wright Says Bran’s Ending Is the Same in the Books!!!
Listen, at this point it’s just beating a dead dragon to point out that Game of Thrones season 8 was “divisive”, or “controversial”, or a “hot burning garbage fire” or any accurate thing like that. But it is fair to say that the series finale, “The Iron Throne”, left a surprising amount of questions open-ended for an episode designed to bring the epic saga to … Continue reading ‘Game of Thrones’ Sequels Are Not Happening, Says HBO President Casey Bloys!!

HBO has released the first official images from the Game of Thrones finale, and they are predictably cryptic. First and foremost, there are only two of them. Understandably, the final episode of the most popular show in HBO history is being kept under lock and key, so we only get two Game of Thrones finale images. Additionally, these two images don’t really reveal anything. One … Continue reading ‘Game of Thrones’ Series Finale Images Finds Tyrion In Sorrow!! Check It Out!!
HBO has released an official trailer for Game of Thrones: The Last Watch, the two-hour documentary set to air a week after Game of Thrones‘ finale that dives behind-the-scenes of the biggest show on television. Kit Harington cries so much, the adorable scamp. This thing actually looks fascinating, no matter what you think about the quality of season 8. David Benioff and D.B. Weiss might’ve plotted … Continue reading ‘Game of Thrones: The Last Watch’ Trailer Looks Behind The Scenes of the Blockbuster Series!! Check It Out!!
Well, the time has finally come. There’s officially only one episode of Game of Thrones left, ever. Following last night’s divisive penultimate episode of the series, HBO released a short Game of Thrones series finale trailer to offer a preview of what’s ahead.

But that imagery is striking enough to … Continue reading ‘Game of Thrones’ Series Finale Trailer Teases a New Winter!! Check It Out!!
Well folks, there are just two episodes left of this final season of Game of Thrones, and R’hllor only knows what showrunners Dan Weiss and David Benoiff have in store for us.

HBO has released the trailer for Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 5, also known as the second-to-last episode of Game of Thrones ever.

Game of Thrones threw a whole bunch of curveballs at us last night in “The Last of the Starks.” Daenerys Targaryen’s (Emilia Clarke) dragon child Rhaegal was shot out of the sky by insane pirate captain Euron Greyjoy (Pilou Asbæk). Missandei of Naath (Nathalie Emmanuel) met one of the more brutal ends in recent Thrones memory, beheaded at the front gate of King’s Landing on … Continue reading ‘Game of Thrones’: HBO Issues Extremely Necessary Statement on Daenerys’ Coffee Cup!!!
“The Long Night” came and went to Winterfell last weekend, and minus a Jorah Mormont or two, our main heroes mostly made it out alive. But still, Daenerys Targaryen’s (Emilia Clarke) entire Dothraki army got snuffed out along with a good portion of the Unsullied, not to mention pretty much anyone else inside Winterfell whose name isn’t prominent on the IMDB page. Seven new images … Continue reading ‘Game of Thrones’: New Images Reveal After “The Long Night”!! Check It Out!!
There’s a lot that went down in last night’s Game of Thrones episode, the extra long, extra intense, and extra heroic “The Long Night.” Some two dozen of our favorite characters stood side by side in a fight for survival, a literal battle between life and death.

Hopefully you’re caught up on HBO’s Game of Thrones, because last night’s epic episode “The Long Night” was one for the history books.

You don’t take the easy road … Continue reading ‘Game of Thrones’ Battle of Winterfell Explained in 40-Minute Behind-the-Scenes Video!! Check It Out!!

HBO’s Game of Thrones may just be the last traditional water-cooler TV show to actually air week to week on a premium cable channel.

This … Continue reading ‘Game of Thrones’: A Dragon Vies for the Throne in the Final Season Poster!! Check It Out!!
