VoK 215: WolfCast – “Hardhome” (S05E08 Review)


Come at Me

VoK Wolfcast Review of Game of Thrones S05E08: “Hardhome” aka “Wildlings
are Awesome”
After last week’s Marathon, the Wolfcast returns for one of the most highly
acclaimed episodes in Game of Thrones history. Patrick the Tall hosts Alix
(Aiwendil), Sander (SwordoftheAfternoon), Matthieu (Beric175) and first time
VoK podcaster Sam (samos) for a less rambling, although still quite detailed –
this is the Wolfcast after all – discussion of all things “Hardhome”. Among other
things we disect the exact timing of the Greyjoy Rebellion in the Show-Universe,
discuss the theory of how Stannis might infiltrate Winterfell through a non-
existant tunnel network, and offer our thoughts on that time a lot of Wildlings
saw dead people.

VoK 213: WolfCast – “The Gift” (S05E07 Review)


WolfCast

What it lacks in timeliness, Wolfcast makes up for in thoroughness (and length). Nitpicking and speculating about everything from Dorne to the Wall are Sander (SwordoftheAfternoon), Matthieu (Beric175), Alix (Aiwendil) and Patrick the Tall as our lead host, desperately trying to keep this whole affair under control. In the aftershow, Beric unleashes his many thoughts on the previous episode and Cersei takes a trip to Ikea.

VoK 206: WolfCast – “Kill the Boy” (S05E05 Review)


ramsay-sansa

Welcome to this week of the Wolfcast Reviews for season five, where the Seven giveth and the Seven taketh away. By that I mean that we are rejoined by Alix but lost Matthieu. To help you to fight away the hours of boredom is Sandor(Sword of the Afternoon), Alix(Aiwendil) and Patrick the Tall as our lead host. We will today be covering every detail but at an slightly faster pace, which means that we uncharacteristically can present our faithful listeners with what I would call a “short” episode, at 2,15 hours.
