We're ready to get hurt again! The 2 Crew reviews the first two episodes of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.

Comments

Polaire

they did this for me specifically

pie

let’s gooo! ive really been enjoying it despite some of the reviews i’ve see

zoe cosplayed moonshine!

i just finished the most recent strahd episode and now for the first time i am caught up!!

zoe cosplayed moonshine!

i got to watch the george rr martin panel about this and honestly it got me really hyped. the first 2 eps were genuinely so good.

Daveed

Wellpp guess I gotta watch knights of the seven kingdoms now

Neil Dutton

I'm pretty sure that medieval horses were actually more like modern pony sized, but I have no idea where I got that information. Do your research!!

Emz

I'll listen to y'all talk about it I just refuse to be hurt again after GoT and HotD lol. If this sticks the landing I'll watch it 😂

Zoop

On the question of the advantage of height I do wanna say that I fenced semi-seriously in hs and height was not neccesarily considered a good thing. Yes having long legs was helpful but having a long torso was explicitly not. As a general rule, The best fencers I knew were short, slim and fast as fuck. HOWEVER, that was not universally true, the type of fencing matters, and perhaps most importantly of all: Fencing is not jousting lol

Ro

Ah hyped to listen to this- my partner wanted to watch the first ep while we ate our tea and I said NO I guarantee there will be so much shit and piss in this show and I can’t believe how soon I was proven right

jackalope503

I’m really loving the image of Emily playing offensive line for the Bengals. I can already picture Joe Burrow being absolutely eviscerated by a defensive end as Emily shouts COUNTERSPELL!!

Clever Innuendo

I haven't watched anything Game of Thrones since season 1, but I'll take any NaddNoise

rosebramblewolf

I assume the rules of jousting were completely accurately portrayed in A Knight's Tale.

Rafi

Crazy enough Aerion’s actor is also wearing a wig, they had enough money for the wig department here

martiniimakes

Me 🤝 Caldwell Rightfully Afraid of Horses

Jenna H

Too big! It's unnatural!

Gicky

Not having lamb is crazy we have Pirinoa lamb in New Zealand that comes from a farm by the ocean. The meat tastes like sea salt its crazy. Anyway would love to hear your thoughts on Bionicle: Mask of light I watched it recently and was really moved.

♡ Pixie ♡

Okay, so it was a prosthetic especially made for him and the show

HeyYeah

Crazy that Emily pulled out a Wendy O Koopa's stinky feet reference like eight years after 8bbc

A. Lee. S

I want to watch this show! But also am a horse girl and am scared to watch the horses get hurt. 😅

Roy Prishkulnik

It's funny cuz I've literally read the jousting scene in The Bright Sword a couple of days ago! The objective was to knock the other knight off their horse, or at least breaking the lance on their shield or body. Collum mentions that you should look at the opponent's shield but it's more so you wouldn't flinch from their lance's approaching tip. You also had to present your body as a target so you couldn't turn away from the impact. Apparently in the late middle ages (~1300+ CE) chivalry's rules and etiquette made knights frequently deny themselves any advantage so they could win from a losing position. So yeah, they loved an underdog back then, too :)

Ilana Galpert

I know one of the founders of ben and jerry's. he isn't ben or jerry sadly lol but he is on the board of trustees. Do you guys have a pitch or something? He's an incredibly good guy. Super ethical. If there's a charitable bent it would be easier for me to bring it up to him...? For context, he's my half sister's stepdad. I probably have exactly the amount of influence you expect in that situation, but I could definitely get something in front of him. His name is Jeff Furman btw. He's pres of the ben and jerry's foundation as well.

chlo!

my sisters dog is also afraid of water. jake’s dog solidarity

Ilana Galpert

Most of the stuff he cares about is political action. things like employing people with criminal records, fighting racial disparity/injustice or increasing voting access. He's wife's biggest concern (understandably) is global warming. So...idk if y'all can figure out a way to mesh with that?

Ben Stephenson

All the jousting talk got me wanting them to watch it.

CommodoreBlue

Never watched this show, and probably never will, but I will listen to you all talk about it at least 3 times.

atomicdog

Please do more mixed bag reviews of Knight of the Seven Kingdom episodes! Would be so cool if you did one once all the episodes were out, or did one for each two episodes.

Parma Jorts

I don’t think George is going to do his homework gang

Parma Jorts

Murph famously hates the environment so good luck

Jess J

I feel like I need to develop being more critical in my 40’s because I like everything. Sometimes I get distracted and don’t keep up with a show, but that’s more on me than anything, and there are things I really like sometimes.

Natural Dragon

Can you please review the entire season? Pretty please

James Scott

I cant bring myself to watch it. It was being written and produced by my favorite screen writer Steven Conrad and before they could get it over the finish line HBO took it, ground it up, and released it as hog feed under a different name. Check out the Amazon series Patriot to support my boy

alwayshome

Is it too late to pitch "intros are nixed 2026?"

Becca_rebaker

21:58 Jake saying I think i could calm a horse and Murphy disgusted "based on..." absolutely got me. 🤣🤣

Ziel R.

Nyetterbox?

Pyt

I've been avoiding watching this show because of how GoT ended and how bad I thought season two of House of the Dragon was. Hearing the 2crew talk about it has sold me on giving it a chance. I know its better for content if they watch stuff that is objectively bad and they really dont like and Murph plays the grump but its also really nice to hear them gush about something they actually enjoyed.

AstroGibbon

I had to upgrade, that teaser. I needed to know more about the white horse! Is it a deva, is it justified!?

Kaidan C

As a 6’4” person, it was a little infuriating hearing you half-pints shortsplain tallness The portrayal of Ser Dunc resonated strongly with me, as someone who has absolutely been the tall, quiet, awkward slouching guy that keeps attracting weirdos for some reason Also without a doubt, tall people probably get challenged more. I understand why you would think otherwise, but every man with a big ego and a small penis sees a tall guy as a challenge

E.E. Gads

I can't believe it took 8 minutes to get to the dick 😂

Aster Ellis

If next Mixed Bag isn't more of this, it should be A Knight's Tale. AFAIK the horses don't get hurt at all and it's probably my favorite Ledger movie

thequeercat

Sequel episode after the season is complete a la the witcher reviews perhaps?

Summer, Autumn Eladrin

I love the review mixed bags. I started reading Bright Sword because of this podcast and also thought of Collum when I saw Duncan. I do think they would be buddies. I was kind of burnt out on fantasy TV shows after GOT and Witcher. I wasn't interested in watching this show until I saw clips of the dance scene online

Summer, Autumn Eladrin

I just learned like last year that ponies and horses are the same species, and now I am learning this.

Neil Dutton

Apparently medieval horses would be too small to qualify for modern horse racing.

El Jefe

Seconded! Them talking about how they don’t know the rules of jousting just made me wonder how they missed A Knight’s Tale. They are the right age for to have hit the sweet spot.

connor sparks

I swear I’ve listened to everything outside of COE tier, where is the dip-spit bit from

Jamie

Also came here to recommend A Knight's Tale!! Jousting rules + Robert Baratheon, worra combo

Ellie P

Any chance all of the live shows could be made into a collection

Katherine

I'm so glad I'm not the only person who gets anxious watching hotd

chris

I want to say its from season 3. Somewhere around when hardwon is in the mix. I could be wrong don't @ me :D

Lorelei and Kyra Newly Weds

I've only ever seen 5 episodes of the original game of thrones with my current partner, and random tid bits while with my ex. I have no reference for anything

Darby

Coming back to this after watching ep 3 and boy, the gang did sure mention several things they want and fear from the show that came true immediately in the next ep

RoadTrain

CINCINNATI MENTIONED LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO

Oscar

Just played Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 and theres a scene with an "airplane" flying by!!

Winterbat

Now I have to rewatch this and keep an eye on the white horse

Elizabeth Gunn, sickly but cruel

There was a trailer for Bionicle on one of the VHS's I owned as a kid and I've see that trailer like, four hundred times. Someday I will watch the movie.

indigone

They find a digger or something in the mines to molscuriel and emily (iirc) asks if there is any dipspit

Ella

Fun fact! Oftentimes, prizes for winning jousts could include getting ownership of the losing knight's armor or horse, so that was a strong incentive to NOT cause any harm to the animal, since they were incredibly valuable assets that could become yours

CommonCatepillat

View crew for DND honor among thieves when???

Jimmy Place

Please review the whole show when it ends 🙏 I love hearing you guys talk about media

Chip

Started watching because of this episode and I'm obsessed! Been holding off on GoT because of spoilers I've osmosified through the cultural zietgeist, but I might need to watch it now regardless.

Matty B

I was on autoplay and about halfway through I was like, damn why aren't they talking about the episode? I guess I should pay attention.

Sean M

As far as scoring goes for jousting, have they not seen a Knights Tale?? It explains the scoring right?

Libbortea

Naddpod ice cream flavor should include butterfinger bbs

el

the beyondburglar is a historic pull

Gurl Luigi

I need more skaldova now

Oscar the Salad Czar

It never fails to make me chuckle how often they forget their own rating system.

LJ KA

Desperately

IM SO LATE BUT PLEAAE

Storytime about Jousting: I worked the beer tent at one of the Scottish Games in Mississippi many years ago. One of those year they had some of the people from full metal jousting. ( A TV show jousting competition ). I thought it was going to be for show until I heard the first two people hit. It sounded like a car crash. Full speed. Wood splintering on steel. These people were wild. I saw two people breaking arm and one person get a lance lodged in their neck. ( Thankfully it was caught by their armor, but only barely. ) The winner of a competition was a lovely blonde haired woman.

we still haven't got view crew for book of vile darkness
