House of the Dragon S3 – A Song of Ice and Fire - The Lorehounds

Jean and Elysia kick off the new season of "horrible people doing horrible things to each other" – aka House of the Dragon season 3, episode 1 – with a dive even deeper than a dragon's fall into the Gullet. They discuss character motivations, the meanings of new revelations, one misused quote, Green Men lore, our new favorite dragon, and arguably the most beautiful battle ever committed to screen.
Stick around until after the outro music for the final full-book-spoiler discussion of these events and what might be coming next.
