Send a text

Join us on the Entertain This! podcast for a chivalrous dissection of HBO’s A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, where we gallantly charge through each episode of this Game of Thrones prequel, set a century before the Iron Throne became everyone’s favorite hot seat. Follow the towering Ser Duncan the Tall and his pint-sized squire Egg as they navigate Westeros’ thorny politics and perilous tourneys—proving that in Martin’s world, even hedge knights can uproot dynasties. We scrutinize pivotal scenes from “The Hedge Knight” (January 18, 2026), “Hard Salt Beef” (January 25, 2026), “The Squire” (February 1, 2026), “Seven” (February 8, 2026), “In the Name of the Mother” (February 15, 2026), and the climactic “The Morrow” (February 22, 2026), delving into character arcs, unexpected twists, and ties to the larger saga—because who needs dragons when you have dramatic irony?

Shifting to more refined pursuits, we waltz into Netflix’s Bridgerton Season 4, fully unveiled after its bifurcated debut on January 29 and February 26, 2026. This octet of episodes spotlights Benedict Bridgerton’s masquerade mishap with the mysterious Sophie Baek, weaving romance, scandal, and Shondaland splendor—reminding us that in Regency England, love is but a ballroom away from a societal slip-up.

We then gear up for a critical evaluation of Netflix’s sci-fi spectacle War Machine (premiered March 6, 2026), with Alan Ritchson as an Army Ranger battling extraterrestrial automatons—proving that when machines wage war, humanity’s best defense is a well-oiled action hero. Under Patrick Hughes’ direction, the film unleashes intense skirmishes and probes themes of endurance against alien incursions, where survival hinges on more than just firepower.

Concluding with our host’s astute musings on Arc Raiders, the PvPvE extraction shooter launched October 30, 2025, after wrapping Mitch’s first expedition—a fleeting foray into scavenging, convoy crafting, and reset rigors. We explore its tactical intricacies, strategic layers, and dystopian domain, offering guidance for novices and veterans alike—because in a post-apocalyptic raid, wit is the ultimate loot.
