In this episode of A Cast of Kings, David Chen and Kim Renfro dive into House of the Dragon’s eighth episode, “The Lord of the Tides.” It’s the end of the line for Viserys as his whole family converges on King’s Landing to have one last extremely civil debate about the true line of succession.
What’s going on with the disparate aging of the characters in the show? What is the dynamic between Rhaenyra and Alicent? Are we really going to hinge everything that happens next on a simple prophecy misunderstanding?? Listen to hear our thoughts!

Wondery Presents: The Rewatcher: Buffy The Vampire Slayer
4 oktober 2022 |
4 min
Welcome to the Hellmouth Weirdos! Your favorite Morbid hosts Ash and Alaina are branching out from true crime and heading to Sunnydale for the ultimate Buffy the Vampire Slayer Rewatch podcast! Alaina is a Buffy superfan and Ash has never watched a single episode, so whether you’re Team Angel, Team Spike, or have no clue who those people are…they’ve got you covered! Join them each week as they slay their way through the series, episode by episode, re-watching, and watching for the very first time. They’ll break down Buffy and her friends adventures through weekly recaps, categories, and awards while Ash takes some (wooden stake) stabs at predicting what she thinks will happen next. They'll also welcome the occasional Buffy cast member, guest star, or celebrity superfan to join in the slaying.

Kim and I are trying something different today: We’re doing a Twitter Space that’s going to have our immediate and live reaction to this week’s episode of House of the Dragon, in advance of our fully refined recap tomorrow.
If you don’t know what Twitter Spaces are, they’re basically live audio rooms on Twitter where people can have a conversation while others listen in. Of note: the audio is going to rougher than a usual podcast, and our thoughts are also a bit more raw. But this is really for those who watch the show on Sunday nights and want to hear our conversation about it as soon as possible.
I’m not sure we’ll be able to do a Twitter Space every week but if we do, the Space will be made available as a podcast for members of DecodingTV.com. This one is free for everyone.
