Brace yourselves, All Kinds of Philler is coming! This episode is all about the fantasy novel series A Song of Ice & Fire and its TV adaptation, Game of Thrones.

They compare the books to the show, its popularity and acclaim, their favourite characters, censorship on HBO, and whether or not it’ll have a solid, satisfying ending.
