Bloody, Sexy and Jawdropping: 'House of the Dragon' Returns

Bloody, Sexy and Jawdropping: 'House of the Dragon' Returns

Author: Pop Culture Junkie June 27, 2024 Duration: 1:01:32
It is seriously hot outside now, so the Junkies are indulging in all their streaming obsessions now. For Shauna, that means The Boys, which returned with a scene that even made Shauna clutch her pearls. Then Olivia tries to talk about Bridgerton without too many spoilers, in case you, like Shauna, aren’t as far into the episode list as she is. House of the Dragon has also recently returned, and that prompts Olivia to look into the history, magic and lore behind not only HotD, but also Game of Thrones. The Junkies try to count all the Aegons in the Targaryen family tree (impossible), discuss if we need any more prequels and why, and wonder if George R.R. Martin will finish the next book in the series before Winter is finally Here.
