Game of Thrones vs House of the Dragon: Battle of the Seasons

Game of Thrones is back with the prequel, “House of the Dragon.” Every week, Post Show Recaps provides immediate reactions, deep dive analysis, and absurd antics surrounding the return of the biggest franchise on HBO.

“House of the Dragon” centers on the Targaryan dynasty roughly 200 years before the events of “Game of Thrones.” It’s based on portions of George R.R. Martin’s 2018 novel “Fire & Blood.” Expect the show to live up to its predecessor and its very own name — with fire, blood, and dragons aplenty.

In this podcast, Josh Wigler (@roundhoward) and LaTonya Starks (@lkstarks) announce a “Game of Thrones” Season 1 rewatch to go alongside the “House of the Dragon” Season 1 first watch. Every week, Josh and LT will watch the original “Thrones” at the same pace of the new series, comparing corresponding episodes with one another. This week, they dig into LT’s takes on “Thrones,” her initial experience with the show, and what she’s expecting to get out of the rewatch.
