Hello beautiful Winterboos! After much weeping and gnashing of teeth and technical difficulties, we finally come to you with our fifth installment of Wine, Women and Westeros, a special edition of Cast of Thrones where Jennifer and her ladybuds Annie and Betsy discuss gender issues in Game of Thrones! No, not even the loss of an entire episode of audio, which I can only assume was a direct assault from The Patriarchy itself, could keep us from delivering this podcast into your earholes. So kick ...

Another year, another season of Game of Thrones on the books. We take some time out of our busy schedules to discuss the finale of season 4. We get a lot of great scenes in this episode including the ultimate fan fic of Brienne vs The Hound, an epic battle beyond the wall, and a look at the tree people with Bran and co. This episode and season had some controversy with book readers, but we are sad to see you go. We'll miss you forever Game of Thrones, xoxo. Like the show and want to support us? ...

We locked the donkeys away for this episode as their services weren't required. This episode remained firmly planted at the wall as we get to witness a 4 year long build up to one of the biggest battles in Game of Thrones history. We discuss Samwell's new found confidence with the ladies, Ygritte's hesitation, and little cabbage boys ruining true love.

Plese excus any typos as i'm typin this with my eys closed because i can never open them agn after what we just witnessed. In the most blatant display of, this is F***** HBO yet, we get the most brutal episode of Game of Thrones so far. From killing ladies of the night, to killing snakes in the streets it was an all out battle pushing the limits of what you can legally do on tv. We do take some time away from the gore to discuss Danny's latest predicaments, and another sad case of missed connect...

“I wish I was the monster you all think I am” is usually the line the Cast of Thrones crew uses when we are kicked out of an all you can eat Chinese buffet, but it is nice to see it to use in our favorite show. Things sure do get tense for ol' Tyrion but I have a feeling that he will be alright. That wit of his has saved him before! Like the show and want to support us?

In a very “this didn't happen in the books” episode of Game of Thrones some wonderful bits of information was shared about the world of Westeros. Well, namely the answer to “Who killed Jon Arryn?” was answered, but it is such a bombshell that it is sure to cause many a watcher to spit their Arbor Gold 3 feet out of their mouths. We of course get to delve into the fun added scene north of the Wall which is a special treat since it all new for the TV show. Nice change of pace, if I say so myself. ...

Hello Winterfellas! We are treated to some harsh realities on this week's episode of Game of Thrones. If no one thinks of the little babies in this Gods forsaken world, who will? Both Grey Worm and Missandei tell sad stories about being sad babies. Also, another sad baby gets taken and drafted into a very secretive order. Very exclusive. Very posh. I would say that they were cool. Another harsh reality we learned last night we actually decided to unlearn. So now I don't remember what it is due t...

Hello there, Winterfellas, it's time to discuss Season 4, Episode 3, “Breaker of Chains”! The format of this week's episode will be a little different to accommodate an in-depth discussion of the controversial scene that nearly broke the internet (and also Jennifer's fingers from extreme tweet-yelling). After this very serious discussion, we get right back to our usual antics, i.e. talking about butts and prosthetic genitalia. As always, we include a spoiler section at the end after the music, s...

A fine hello to the wonderful people from Westeros all the way to Essos. Even Sothoryos must feel like the air is sweeter. I know that I feel like a great weight has been lifted from my shoulders. Yes, that major character death was a long time coming, but it is finally here! Rejoice my friends! Now there are only 87 horrible murderous characters that need to be murdered for Game of Thrones to be considered “A somewhat survivable country.” Yes, that is hope in the air that we are all tasting.

It is with heavy hearts and tear filled eyes that we now wrap our Clash of Kings book club. *turns on graduation by Vitamin C* It seems like just yesterday we were hanging out with Robb Stark laughing about how illegitimate Jon Snow was. But now we are through with the third book of the A Song of Ice and Fire series. Some say that this was the best book in the series to date. Well, I can definitely agree that it ends with a big bang. We learn so much about Westeros but also ourselves. What is Li...

Well, Winterfellas, it looks like this Storm of Swords train is slowing down. In our penultimate episode of the Storm of Swords book club, we get to spend some time with our favorite Crows, see a bar brawl, and get an inside look at the special dysfunctions of the Lannister family. Westeros is a wild world, baby. As we've mentioned before, these chapters are firmly in the “not yet featured on HBO” section of Storm of Swords, so if you want to avoid spoilers I would save this episode for after se...

Hey, we get it Jon Snow, you want some of that limelight for honoring your Knights Watch pals. But, quick question bub, did you get horrible murdered along with like…I don't know, 9 named characters?
