VoK 302: The Hedge Knight (by George R. R. Martin)

Posted on June 17, 2016 by vokalias | Leave a comment

The Vassals of Kingsgrave embarks on a new journey to read, discuss, and theorize at length on The Tales of Dunk and Egg stories written by George R.R. Martin in conjunction with the popular A Song of Ice and Fire series of novels.

The tales, set 100 years before the start of A Game of Thrones, tell the story of Dunk, a humble hedge knight from Flea Bottom, as he journeys throughout Westeros righting wrongs, getting into his own fair of trouble, and meeting men and women great and small, all with the help of his precocious squire, Egg.

Join Matt (Varley), Chance (Fire and Bud), Jeff (Jeff14), and Scott (ShaggyDog) for a discussion of the first novella in the series, The Hedge Knight.

Warning: The following podcast contains spoilers for all published novellas in the Tales of Dunk and Egg series, as well as all published books in George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series.

VoK 283: Cold Comfort Farm (by Stella Gibbons)

Posted on April 23, 2016 by bina007 | Leave a comment

There’s something in the woodshed!

Amanda (Middlecylone) and Bina007 discuss Stella Gibbons’ hilarious 1932 novel satirising rural melodramas, as well as the 1995 British film adaptation starring Kate Beckinsale, Stephen Fry and Rufus Sewell. There is much mollocking, clettering, and heaving of porridge, not to mention some of the worst West Country accents committed to tape.

VoK 282: War & Peace (BBC One miniseries)

Posted on April 21, 2016 by bina007 | Leave a comment

Bina007, Stuart (Firenzed) and Imogen.OB discuss, in various permutations, Tolstoy’s epic tale of love amidst the Russian aristocracy during the Napoleonic wars.

To start, Bina007 & Firenzed cover the major story arcs of the mini-series, the depiction of war and other adaptations of the novel. Then at 1hr 7mins, Bina007 & Imogen.OB get into an in-depth discussion of the novel and the mini-series. Finally, the aftershow begins at 1hr 58mins and includes: Intro to Firenzed, ASOIAF and Chekhov Wildfire; plug for Cockneymoot on May 1st at Blenheim Palace; a lot of Sega/Creative Assembly Empire and Napoleonic Total War chat; our thoughts on Napoleon more generally.

Contains spoilers for the the novel, its adaptations, and Napoleonic history, if such a thing is possible, as well as occasional references to A Song of Ice and Fire.

Music: Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture. This was also composed, like War and Peace, many decades after the battle of Borodino to commemorate Russia seeing of the perfidious French invasion.
