After After The Thrones - Winterfell (Season 8 Episode 1)

After After The Thrones is back, baby! For those out there that are confused, we're still doing Mostly Nitpicking. New episode should be out very soon. But we also do a recap show for every episode of Game of Thrones. It started as a joke but now it's just a regular recap show. This week, Nando, DJ, and Chris Diggins sit down and discuss Winterfell. They talk about Bran's demeanor, Euron's plan, and what they're expecting to see in the final season.

Shazam!

His name isn't Captain Sparkles. It definitely isn't Captain Marvel. And even though it's the title of the movie, I'm not convinced that his name is Shazam either. This week, Nando and DJ call upon the powers of five Greek/Roman gods and one Biblical king to nitpick the movie that both wants you to forget and remember that Batman v Superman happened, Shazam! They nitpick the magic doors, the homicidal bullies, and of course the acronym.
