Our resident (reluctant) GoT expert Jeff Drake is back to talk about HBO’s ponderous, poorly wigged prequel to Game Of Thrones, House Of The Dragon — who it’s for, why it’s so murkily lit, when it’s going to get out of the administrative world-building weeds and get interesting, and which actors are making us long for the upcoming time jump. After that, we jumped into Around The Dial with She-Hulk: Attorney At Law, Bluey‘s third season, and Untold: The Girlfriend Who Didn’t Exist, and Erica challenged us to drop Jeff “the Dude” Bridges into existing shows. The gang slipped and slid towards the Canon in a twelfth-season It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia pitch; Paul Rudd won, and arranged TV marriages lost; and Game Time had us contemplating the shows that just keep draggin’ on. The old gods have spoken: listen to the latest Extra Hot Great!
