Overview
Five seasons in, and you’d think Game of Thrones fans would have resigned themselves to the fact that most of their favourite characters are probably going to die. And yet, as the recent season five finale showed, audiences are still holding on to a faint glimmer of hope — and are then venting their agony on the internet when HBO stabs them through the heart. To help you cope with George R. R. Martin’s latest batch of executions, ACMI have assembled a team of four diehard Thrones fans for their latest edition of Talking TV.
This Tuesday, June 30, film critic Luke Buckmaster, freelance culture journo Mel Campbell, broadcaster/writer Clementine Ford and writer/comedian Luke Ryan will examine the public reaction to the show and pitch their answers to some of the biggest questions in Westeros. Is you know who really dead? Is Daenerys ever going to fly to King’s Landing? Will anyone who swore to boycott the show next year actually stick to their guns?
Just try not to like any of the panelists too much. Because you’d basically be signing their death warrant.
