Game of Thrones (Season One) | KnockBack: The Retro and Nostalgia Podcast Episode 214

When it comes to HBO's mega-hit Game of Thrones -- arguably the single most famous offering in the four decade-long history of cable television -- there's so much to say. Like, tons. Infinite amounts, even. So, we've decided to tackle Game of Thrones here on KnockBack with an episode dedicated to each season, in an attempt to do some justice to something so grand. The first 10 episodes set George RR Martin's epic story (derived from his novel series A Song of Fire and Ice) into motion. We meet the Lannisters, Starks, and others who are all vying for a single throne, would-be rulers of great kingdoms steeped in history, tradition, and conflict. Game of Thrones is considered one of the best television shows ever for a reason: Because it really, truly is. It's a show that embodies the notion of "exceptional." And we're happy to celebrate it with a robust chat about the characters, settings, and story arcs that make season one hum. A new episode of KnockBack launches each Monday morning.

I will definitely be listening to this while I work tomorrow. As far as you above me Devon, if there were less video game recommendations for Knockback, maybe then there would be time for books. Alas, that is not the case.

The theme song to show was great up until South Park made the wiener wiener wiener parody of it, once you hear south parks version you’ll never be able to hear the theme song the same

Not that it really matters, but I feel like someone should point out your tweet promoting this episode. It seems you mistakenly wrote that the story begins in the wake of the mad king's assassination but that happens many years before the story of ASOIAF begins. This story begins in the wake of Jon Arryn's death.

Why would it? It's behind the paywall right now. If you're having RSS issues, reapply your credentials in the Apple Podcast App.

I see my mistake. Somehow I skipped the Uncharted episode, got me out of order. thanks for the reply.

I knew you were going to say the red wedding was the second scene you had an out of body experience, I watched GOT for the first time within the past year and that was one of my “holy shit” moments in my tv watching history
