"Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken" (GoT S5E6 Rewatch)
Description
This episode was dreaded for us, right? No one wanted to rewatch it, we didn’t want to discuss it, but something magical happened along the way... Lucy joins Kristin in a surprisingly cathartic and incredible discussion of easily the worst moment in Game of Thrones history. We’re quite proud of this one. Give it a listen, even if you didn’t rewatch (we understand). For those of you who want Lucy’s articles, here they are:
