We Was Banking: An HBO Industry Podcast

Brandon and Chanel are back with our typical weekly recap of Righteous Gemstones Episode 4. This show is the best comedy in the last decade. We don't get these shows that often anymore and Gemstones fines a way to push the line but never go over. This episode we get some plot movement on BJ and Judy relationship, Pontious acting out, Kelvin and Keith breakup and the real reason the nephews are staying with the Gemstones.

Brandon and Chanel are joined by our friend from the PW Torch Rich Fann to discuss the season and series finale of Succession With Open Eyes. Its an end of an error and the end of one of the greatest TV series in history. The Roy family as horrible as they are have brought so much joy, and entertainment in a dark and disturbing way, and the finale ending is fitting for this show.

Brandon and Chanel are back to talk about the penultimate episode of Succession Church and State. This is such a bitte sweet moment because we know this ending is going to be fire but we are so sad this incredible all time great show is ending. But it is ending with a bang as we get Logan Roy funeral and Kendall Roy's rebirth.

Brandon and Chanel are back to talk about a triggering episode of Succession America Decides. This episode brought back the feelings of Nov 8 2016 and they did it in the way only Succession and Jessie can do. This episode cements Roman as a full on Nazi and Kieran Culkin put on a performance for a lifetime. We saw honesty we rarely see from the sibs in this episode and watch how the Succession world drifts into fascism.

Brandon and Chanel talk about the fall out from Logan Roy's death on Episode 4 of Season 4 of Succession "Honeymoon States". They had a big task in following up one of the greatest hours of television in history and at the same time setup the final stretch of the series and they did it masterfully. Shiv, Roman, Kendall, the corporate suits, Tom, Marcia, Connor and Willa all see their characters pushed forward and defined.

Brandon and Chanel are back for another awesome episode of Succession. The chips are starting to fall and this episode shows a remarkable level of incompetence for the Roy boys and a possible reunion between Shiv and Tom? Lukas making his first big mistake and the Kendall coming through when nobody thought he would.

WWDKA "The Blacks vs. The Greens" HBOKA "The Green Council" + "The Black Queen" Brandon & Chanel are back after missing a week, so we decided to do the penultimate and finale episodes of House of the Dragon together. It works because the two episodes are companions, but girl, IT WAS A LOT! Brandon and Chanel talk about how all of this was meant to be and how Rhanerya and Alicent are mirror images of each other. We want to SINCERELY thank all the listeners for going on this journey with us, we plan to keep the feed going in between now and when Succession comes back. Please email us any suggestions of other shows you'd like to hear us recap! Until then, never forget that WE WAS DRAGONS!

WWDKA "The Last Black Man in Westeros" HBOKA "The Lord of the Tides" Our bad for the late episode! Brandon had the flu and was feeling like Viserys but fought through it to put this episode out, and what an episode it was! This felt like the typical penultimate Game of Thrones episode due to the amount of tension and premonition, but it was only episode 8! We see just how important decisions our main characters made years earlier have led to this point. Patty Constantine puts out an Emmy-worthy performance, and we see how the Dance of the Dragons begins!

WWDKA "Kid's Fight" HBOKA "Driftmark" Brandon and Chanel are joined by Sharmane Fury from the Militantly Mixed and BlerdComixed podcast (@dablasianBlerd) to talk about Episode 8 of the HBO Game of Thrones spinoff House of the Dragon. This show just continues to get better and better, and now we see all the alliances and where everyone stands. We did get more incest, we got some fighting, we got new dragon owners, and a moving funeral service.  Feedback If you want to leave feedback, questions, and/or comments about our show, you can email us at WeWasDragonsPod@gmail.com Socials Brandon - @thatcoolblknerd | Chanel - @chanelcreating | Youtube - Chanel Creating Check Out Our Other Shows Brandon - Why So Serious Podcast, RTO Podcast, Bald Black Nerds Podcast, Hindsight Movie Reviews Podcast | Chanel - Baby, Baaabe!

WWDKA "Those Bastard Dragons" HBOKA "The Princess and the Queen" Chanel and Brandon are back and so is House of the Dragon Episode Six "The Princess and the Queen." We got another time jump, and this one placed us right into the middle of grown folk's business! We meet some new Dragons who are probably...well, we don't want to be the ones to say it.   Alicent is still plotting and salty -- and Chanel cannot stand it (!), Sir Christon Cole is insufferable, and Viserys turned into Chris Elliot on Scary Movie 2. This was on of the best episodes in the Game of Thrones series, and we break it all down.

WWDKA "Alicent was Shaking the Table" HBOKA "We Light the Way" Chanel and Brandon are back with the best episode so far this season. According to Brandon, Alicent shook the table with this one! If you have been listening to us, then you know we love the messiness, and this episode had SO MUCH MESS. Game of Thrones House of the Dragon Episode 5 "We Light the Way" setup why all the characters will eventually do what they do and turn on each other, and that Viserys is still FLOPPING, Otto is still a plotter, Alicent is betrayed, and Rhanerya is feeling herself.

DHKA "And Aegon Was His Name" HBOKA "Second of His Name" Brandon and Chanel are back to recap and review Season 1 Episode 3 of the Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon, episode titled "Second of His name." This time, we had a 3 years time jump, but not to worry, we're still getting our mess in. We finally got a big action set piece, Otto Hightower is still the messiest of them all, and Chanel and Brandon disagree on the motives of Alicent. This show has got us back in Westeros, and we look forward to seeing what's coming next.

DHKA "Can I Live?" HBOKA "The Rouge Prince" HBO's House of the Dragon prequel to Game of Thrones is back, and so is the plotting, backstabbing, pimping, and poetic bars. This episode drops all of that AND we got a time jump. Brandon and Chanel go through everything on Episode 2 and break it down like only we can, including AAVE translations of the olde English and High Valyrian. Featured in this episode: Otto Hightower is a wild dude, we get creepy arranged marriages, and we meet the Crab Feeder.  Feedback If you want to leave feedback, questions, and/or comments about our show, you can email us at WeWasDragonsPod@gmail.com Socials Brandon - @thatcoolblknerd | Chanel - @chanelcreating | Youtube - Chanel Creating Check Out Our Other Shows Brandon - Why So Serious Podcast, RTO Podcast, Bald Black Nerds Podcast, Hindsight Movie Reviews Podcast | Chanel - Baby, Baaabe!

This show came out the blocks hot, so let's discuss all the messiness in Westeros.

Industry is back — meaner, sharper, and hornier than ever.

This episode is a radioactive cocktail of drugs, drama, and absolute chaos — and we loved every second. In Fallout Season 2, Episode 4 (Claws for Concern), Lucy spirals into addiction-fueled badassery, Maximus launches a Brotherhood civil war, and the Ghoul confronts a nightmare straight out of Vault-Tec’s darkest vault.Brandon & Chanel break down the madness:Lucy becomes a med-junkie and goes full John Wick on greaser ghouls at New Vegas’ gatesThe Ghoul remembers the deathclaw from the Alaskan Front — and now it’s backTheir staredown in the Strip’s ruins is visually stunning — practical sets, not CGI sludgeMan of the hour: Maximus refuses to kill, outs himself as a ghoul-sympathizer, and starts a civil warThaddeus’s turn as “fake Xander” is the funniest thing in the wastelandVault drama heats up: Steph’s dark Canadian past is revealed, Reg hoards water, and Woody reports… to StephNorm plays dumb with thawed-out Vault-Tec cultists while secretly learning the truthA deathclaw looms, a Brotherhood airship crashes, and Lucy is this close to getting eatenThis episode doesn’t rely on spectacle — it earns every laugh, gasp, and “oh shit” moment. Whether it’s child labor satire, drug-induced courage, or ghouls turning soft for dogs, Fallout remains the most exciting thing on TV. Brandon & Chanel are here to break it down like Maximus breaking Brotherhood code.🎧 LISTEN & FOLLOW BRANDON & CHANEL — WE WAS WATCHING PODCAST🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4Tx2WCy...🍎 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...📲 Twitter: @WeWasWatching📸 Instagram: @wewaswatching🔔 Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@WeWasWatchin...#Fallout #FalloutS2 #LucyMacLean #TheGhoul #Maximus #Deathclaw #VaultTec #BrotherhoodOfSteel #AmazonPrime #WeWasWatching #TVRecap #PostApocalypticTV #VideoGameAdaptation #DruggedLucy #VaultDrama

Fallout continues to blow our irradiated minds — and it’s not even trying that hard. In Episode 3 of Season 2, “I Don’t Need Your Civil War,” the story leaps across timelines, factions, and body counts with confidence, carnage, and surprising tenderness. It's funny, brutal, smart as hell, and genuinely shocking, all in one post-apocalyptic package.Brandon & Chanel break down this absolute banger of an episode:Lucy’s crucifixion and the Legion’s cruelty — and how Macaulay Culkin stole the sceneThe Ghoul’s dynamite plan — literally — and his surprisingly tender scenes with his new dogCooper’s flashback: award ceremonies, anti-war rants, and awkward urinal chats with Robert House“Behold, the dimness of the sword”: Maximus’s path to Brotherhood rebellion beginsRocket hammers, child labor at the soda plant, and one very dark Xander revealMaximus makes a choice — and starts a civil war with one headshotThe robot Victor is back (and maybe evil?), plus Jon Gries as Biff is perfect castingWhy Fallout's satire hits harder than ever, especially while it roasts the very platform it's airing onFrom nukes to fascists to hammer-smashing child-murderers, Fallout doesn’t pull punches — and Brandon & Chanel are here to break it down beat-by-beat, one radioactive punchline at a time.🎧 LISTEN & FOLLOW BRANDON & CHANEL — WE WAS WATCHING PODCAST🎧 Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/4Tx2WCy...🍎 Apple Podcasts → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...📲 Twitter → @WeWasWatching📸 Instagram → @wewaswatching🔔 Subscribe → https://www.youtube.com/@WeWasWatchin...#Fallout #FalloutS2 #LucyMacLean #TheGhoul #Maximus #RobertHouse #BrotherhoodOfSteel #PrimeVideo #WeWasWatching #TVRecap #PostApocalypticTV #VideoGameAdaptation #FalloutLegion #CivilWarFallout
