Time to say goodbye to 2016, and in a dark-as-hell world like Westeros, why not take a look back at the many, MANY characters who left us during Season 6? Join us as we reminisce on the various murders and manslaughters from the last year in Westeros. Did we remember them all correctly? Did we miss anything noteworthy? Big thanks to deathtimeline.com for making our list super-easy to compile!

[Still the] Loremaster Kevin joins us to discuss the very first episode of HBO's Westworld!  Jeff muses about the original (1973) Westworld movie starring Yul Brynner, and is also in quite a tizzy about how similar Hosts are to the Synth characters from Bethesda's Fallout 4 video game.  Everyone enjoyed the show very much, though Jennifer wasn't quite as impressed.  Theories abound about the secret photograph, the cold storage room, and the man in black (Ed Harris is a badass), but the answers won't be coming just yet.  Also, James Marsden is ludicrously-pretty.

Be sure to vote in our Twitter poll to help decide how many episodes we'll spend on the first season of Westworld!

It's been a while, but Loremaster Kevin finally returns to Pod of Thrones, and he wants to tell us about the Game of Thrones Season 6 Blu-Ray set!  It's full of animated histories, behind-the-scenes tales, and maybe even some little hints at what's to come in Season 7... a fateful joust involving Robert Baratheon, perhaps?  Also, some thoughts on what's to come in the podcasting world, as the peer pressure to watch Westworld finally reaches the boiling point!  Stay tuned for that...!

We recently started (though haven't finished) 2010 British television series Misfits, which was recommended to us because one of the stars is Ramsay Bolton himself, Iwan Rheon.  There's a few spoilers as we praise this totally-bizarre show, and also wonder how in the world you pronounce Mr. Bolton's real name!

Jeff & Jennifer tackle the difficult questions this week when they try to figure out WHO - in all of Westeros - is most like Donald Trump.

They were aided in this quest by a very verbose quiz from Variety.  Click the link, then head over to our Facebook page or Twitter and tell us who you turned out to be!

This week, we welcome guests JP and Arthur! JP is back for his second visit as he drops some impressive historical knowledge on us about Hadrian's Wall - George R.R. Martin's inspiration for The Wall that we all know from Westeros. We then travel far away from Martin's Wall to talk about the possibility of a NEW real-world wall with Arthur, who comes to us from Mexico City, and whose views and experiences from the other side of this controversial border are both compelling and educational.

As mentioned in the episode, here are links to Blog Del Narco:
