Emily Bateman, a millennial woman who never got into Game of Thrones, finally sits down to watch and analyze each consecutive episode of the popular HBO show. With the help of her sister, Kate Koballa, and sometimes a guest, Emily tries to figure out what the heck is going on in the show, why it was so popular at the time and who is actually going to win the game of thrones (if there actually is a winner at the end).

In this episode, Emily's sister Kate returns for a very crazy episode! They talk about the pronunciation of the word "dynasty," Emily's mixed feelings about Jorah, how Kate can't read her own notes, Sansa being a sassy teenager, fire cannot kill a dragon, and if anyone in this world wears underwear! Emily also does a terrible Sansa impression and Kate says she's going to make up a song for her next episode.

In this episode Emily is joined by another college friend Brandi Baker to discuss and stress about Episode 5, The Wolf and the Lion. They talk about kids today not understanding how you couldn't pause the tv in the 90s, there is only closure when a character dies, grown children breastfeeding, progressive brothels, Catelyn's tiny dagger and many other weird fantasy stuff! Additionally, Emily gets confused by her own notes, doesn't realize who Maude is, and forgets what a spear is called.

In this week's episode, Emily is joined by Jorge Maldonado (with special guest appearance by Allison Maldonado) to discuss Episode 8. They talk about how Syrio is definitely dead, Varys should just "do better", who is training the ravens to send messages, how traumatized the kid who plays Robin must be, how the Dothrakis don't have a medic, Rickon is a creepy little kid and how Sam is a book nerd. Jorge also plays a trick on Emily because she is clueless and gullible.
