VoK 107: WolfCast – “The Mountain and the Wiper” (S04E08 Review)

Posted on June 5, 2014 by bina007 | 3 comments

Wolfcast tackles the latest episode of Game of Thrones. Due to a pressing cricket emergency, the reins of the podcast are unceremoniously thrust upon an ornery and sleep-deprived Shellfish (Peter) who desperately tries to keep the sled on track as posh birds Bina (Bina007) and Imogen (Imogen.OB), béret wearing baguette toter Alix (Aiwendil), the vertically endowed windmill operator Patrick (Patrick the Tall), viper-mourner Nadia (Nadia) and newcomer Kelvin (Brum Riverlander) discuss the geography of the North, evil dresses, crimes against Manwoody, duelling laws in France and everything inbetween.

VoK 105: Blackadder (BBC series)

Posted on May 30, 2014 by bina007 | Leave a comment

For lack of a Game of Thrones episode to comment on, this week Wolfcast reviews the famous 80s British historical comedy Blackadder. Imogen.OB, expert on all things Britain, is this week’s lead host, diving into the mysteries of British history and comedy with Viking Patrick the Tall, expert bear-fighter Peter (Shellfish) and baguette-eating, beret-wearing Alix (Aiwendil).

The season-by-season discussion is very evenly divided as follows:

00:00 – Introduction, favorite seasons, quotes and characters
10:10 – Season 1: The Black Adder
17:41 – Season 2: Blackadder II
51:28 – Season 3: Blackadder the Third
1:08:04 – Season 4: Blackadder Goes Forth
2:12:08 – Aftershow: “One night, Marry, Scorpions”, Blackadder actors and their careers, Imogen’s TV show recommandation, Blackadder and social issues, “Ask Imogen – British Slang Edition”, How to properly address the Queen of England, parallels between Blackadder and ASoIaF, European politics, Peter/Patrick fanfiction, Velociraptors & more

This podcast contains spoilers for all aired episodes of the Blackadder canon and potential spoilers for A Clash of Kings and by extension the Game of Thrones TV series.

VoK 104: WolfCast – “Mockingbird” (S04E07 Review)

Posted on May 27, 2014 by bina007 | 3 comments

Welcome to this week’s Wolfcast in which the wolfpups seem to be at a loss on how to structure their conversation. Providing a very in depth and detail oriented review is Alix (Aiwendil), Imogen.OB, Patrick the Tall and Peter (Shellfish) as our lead host.

There will be no aftershow this time, because of the unusual length of the main part of the show. This will not mean however that this is a boring or shenanigan-free episode. Enjoy.

Warning: Contains spoilers for all published books in George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire.

Edited by Sir Patrick The Tall.

VoK 95: WolfCast – “First of His Name” (S04E05 Review)

Posted on May 7, 2014 by vokadmin | 2 comments

Welcome to this week’s Wolfcast in which Bina007 is lost beyond the wall and all the wolfpups will have to fend for themselves. Helping you to fight away the hours of boredom is Alix(Aiwendil), Peter(Shellfish), Imogen.OB, Patrick the Tall and Nadia as our lead host. It is generally an episode of nitpicks, giggles and crackpot theories, but even so we managed to go on for 90 minutes with an 30 minute aftershow.

The aftershow begins at 1h31m and covers the implications for there only being three more Bran chapters for the show; The physiology of the children of the forest; The mystery of who is spying on our shownotes; If it is possible to conquer Westeros with 10.000 men; Eurovision And Made In Chelsea.

Warning: Contains spoilers for all published books in George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire

VoK 91: WolfCast – “Oathkeeper” aka It’s Different (S04E04 Review)

Posted on April 30, 2014 by bina007 | 8 comments

Tom Meier’s Darkworld miniature of Brienne of Tarth.

Welcome to this week’s Wolfcast in which Bina007 gets sentimental over Jaime-Brienne; Alix (Aiwendil) flips tables about the Jon-Bran reveal; Nadia wonders what happened to Brienne’s helm; Bing (Shoeshiner) enjoys people learning to read; Peter (Shellfish) gets angry with Jon for leaving Longclaw lying around; and Patrick mutters ‘it’s different’ as his heart is broken.

The aftershow begins at 1h17m and covers the implications for the culture of white walkers of the final scene; whether show King’s Landing is more like Rome or Byzantium; and, er, Made In Chelsea.
