Lunchtime! The 40th anniversary of Aliens, Joel Kinneman’s badass status, the growing UK pride in the Bald Move audience, stress dreams…Jim and A.Ron talk about all of this and more on this week’s lunch!
Your regular hosts Jim and RFK Jr. are back to break down Silo Season 3, Episode 5, and there’s a lot to unpack. How many factions are we dealing with at this point? Should we be shipping Helen and Daniel? And what do you make of a twist that even the characters in the show don’t seem all that surprised by?

Tom Holland returns as Spider-Man, and Jim and A.Ron return with another First Run Movie! They break down some surprising character appearances (and castings), discuss where the story fits into the ever-expanding Marvel universe, and marvel at Jon Bernthal’s return as a slightly tweaked version of his Punisher.
We’ve got a Hightower of mail to get through this week for House of the Dragon, Season Three, Episode Six, “Faceless Men”. King Jimhaerys and Ser A.Ron hear the concerns of the realm, from the fate of Corlys to the history of Alys Rivers to Rhaenyra’s romantic entanglements. And as always, if you’re a book reader (or simply not averse to spoilers), stick around for Maester’s Corner—our spoiler section—where Acolyte Max joins Ser A.Ron to compare the ancient scrolls of GRRM with what Ryan Condal and company have cooked up this season.
Anthony meets up with Nolan, Melanie, Evan, and GDK to discuss a theory about Alys’s dormant Dreamfyre Eggs, to lament the death of Ser Cole, and talk fantasy league trash.
In the latest episode of HOTD, Criston Cole gets everything he’s ever deserved, Ormund receives a stinky surprise, and Alicent is given a nearly impossible task. King Jimhaerys and Ser A.Ron are here to discuss all of that and more. Plus, if you’re not afraid of book spoilers, stick around for a quick Maester’s Corner at the end of the show.

We’ve got a lot of questions after this episode of Apple TV+’s Silo. Whose side is Sims really on? Are there any Flamekeepers left besides Jim and A.Ron? Are there any silos left besides 18?

Join us as we dig into all of that and more in our coverage of Silo, Season 3, Episode 4, “Whatever You Do, Don’t Go Home.”
It’s another packed mailbag as King Jimhaerys and Ser A.Ron tackle your questions after House of the Dragon Season 3, Episode 5.

It’s that time again. Lets get some new beef on the board!

King’s Landing trades rats for cats, Cole’s army gets a crash course in leech therapy, and Helaena, despite being one of the show’s few innocents, somehow continues to get the worst deal in Westeros. Ser A.Ron and King Jimherys are here to talk about all of that and more!
