A Storm of Spoilers

This week, Da7e and Neil move from Westeros to the Monsterverse as Apple TV's Monarch: Legacy of Monsters returns for its second season.
In The Calm [06:24], they recap the story so far and piece together where the events of season one (and season two's premiere) fit on the larger timeline of Legendary's Titan-filled story world. They also discuss Kong Skull Island and how Kong and his neighborhood have evolved since the 2017 film.
Then in The Storm [59:32], they look ahead to episode two and beyond, attempting to predict what will be this season's big technological MacGuffin. They also discuss a few wild theories about where this series may ultimately end.
And finally, in a very special new segment called The Godzilla Project [01:16:20], Da7e leads Neil through Session Zero of a new "Kids on Bikes"-inspired roleplaying experience. Over the next 10 weeks, Neil will create his own Godzilla movie project and be at the mercy of Da7e's dungeon master expertise and numerous dice rolls to see if he can deliver a successful entry in the Monsterverse franchise.
Next week, Monarch season two continues with episode two, "Resonance," on Friday. Which means there will be a new pod in your feeds on Saturday with more Calm, more Storm, and Session One of The Godzilla Project where Neil will make his initial movie pitch!

Then in The Storm [01:21:18], your faithful hosts look ahead to the events of the next novella, "The Sworn Sword," and consider which fan favorite characters from season one might return at some point.
Later this week, the next era of A Storm of Spoilers begins as Da7e and Neil will be covering season two of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters.

This week, Da7e and Neil return to Westeros after a long night away for the gut-wrenching, goopy penultimate episode of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.
In The Calm [05:02], they discuss the season's climactic moments and how it stacks up against previous Westeros shockers. They also consider who is to blame for what happened, whether the flashbacks were the right adaptation choice, and what it all has to do with the Blackfyre Rebellion.
Then in The Storm [01:01:10], they look ahead to the season finale and where the show may diverge from the books before addressing some of the press tour spoilers being dropped by the show's lead actors.
Next week, the season finale of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms! Your faithful hosts return to your feeds on Monday to discuss episode six, "The Morrow," and look ahead to what we can expect from season two.

This week, Da7e and Neil are in your feeds early because HBO dropped episode 4 of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms on Friday to avoid the Superb Owl.
In The Calm [05:30], they discuss what happens when Ser Duncan the Tall is forced to face the music for disrespecting House Targaryen. They break down the rules of a Trial of Seven, discuss the team compositions, and consider the kingdom-wide implications of the episode's final moments.
Then in The Storm [01:04:48], they dig into the reliability of dragon dreaming and look ahead to how this show will navigate its climactic penultimate episode.
The week after next, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms returns after 9 days between episodes with its fifth and penultimate episode of the season, "In The Name of the Mother," which means that your faithful hosts will be back in your feeds on Monday, February 17th.

This week, Da7e and Neil are hungry for bacon and egg sandwiches as Dunk and Egg get into more trouble than you'd expect from a 30-minute episode of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.
 
In The Calm [05:18], your faithful hosts kick things off with several very important lore corrections from last week's pod. Then they discuss this week's big reveal, the tonal shift signaled by the closing credits music, and the effective deployment of the Save the Cat Horse trope.

Then in The Storm [01:03:34], Neil puts on his fortune teller cloak to unpack all the lore connections hinted at in this episode. And Da7e makes bold predictions about who may stand with Dunk now that he's in a bit of hot water. Plus, a bold claim is made about how this first season will be remembered...

Next week, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms drops its fourth episode early (on Friday, February 6) because of something called the Superb Owl, which means that A Storm of Spoilers will be in your feeds on Saturday.
