"How good a knight are you?"... Guess we'll find out.Ebube brings Bankole in to join the the guys for an incredibly fun roundtable and a lesson in the laws of gods and men, but frankly the real question here is how cooked Dunk truly is.Once Bankole recaps his own perspective on the show with a carefully curated list of "jokes", the guys deliberate on a wide range of topics, including but not limited to Baelor being the greatest Targaryen ever put to screen, Aerion being the kind of demon that's actually worth fearing, and Maekar living out all the stresses of fatherhood all at once.They also touch on the newest Targaryens revealed to us, discussing what Daeron brings to the table and what might be next for the baldest prince in history, all while trying to figure out what could possibly go right in a Trial of Seven.What even is that??!!!!You can support us hereAlso available on YouTubeHost: Ebube Ubochi Guests: Bankole Imoukhuede, Afam and SoonenProduction by: Ebube Ubochi

They also talk about the offer Dunk has to consider, as well as what he's now up against given his chivalry at the end of the episode.Aerion might be a serious problem, people.You can support us hereAlso available on YouTubeHost: Ebube Ubochi Guests: Afam and SoonenProduction by: Ebube Ubochi

Gotta be careful whose house you stay in.Ebube and AJ flew Ore in for a debrief on how the lack of boundaries in the Mucks’ marriage is likely to destroy every other boundary in the show before the season is over.They touch on Yasmin’s misguided sense of authority and her tendency to default to seduction when she feels cornered, Henry’s newfound self-advocacy, and Harper’s inability to be compatible with peace.It’s a wild one, and somehow Kwabena still managed to miss the first fifteen minutes.You can support us hereAlso available on YouTubeHost: Ebube UbochiGuests: AJ & OreProduction by: Ebube Ubochi

Welcome to Arlan's Anatomy, a show completely different from the one we signed up for, yet just as jaw dropping.After recovering from the episode's BOLD opening scene, Ebube, Afam and Soonen take a moment to acknowledge the firmly established rhythm of HBO's 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms', and discuss how quickly — and effectively — the show is expanding its world.They share their thoughts on this era's crop of Targaryen overlords, what makes a great ruler, and why Dunk only has a chance at the lists, and with a certain tall lady, if he actually shoots his shot.Also, Afam also tries to convince the guys that Egg is secretly evil.You can support us hereAlso available on YouTubeHost: Ebube Ubochi Guests: Afam and SoonenProduction by: Ebube Ubochi
Attention all, it’s time for our annual C-Suite field trip. This year, the options range from our very own Sunderland (home of the mighty Black Cats) to an Austrian Castle whose owners may or may not have funded The Reich. Please be civil to our hosts and remember to lodge all inter-personal relationships with HR. Bankole & Eyo are back for this week’s ’Industry’ episode. As they split their time between SternTao and Tender, they try to understand Harper & Yasmin’s motivations, why the Prime Minister gets involved, and whether burping is a symptom of pregnancy; all normal questions.

Their name is Tender, and they come burdened with glorious purpose.After an incredible exploration of Sir Henry Muck's rebirth, Ebube and AJ tap Osehgale to figure out how purpose differs from function in 'Industry' Season 4, and what this distinction will mean for each character in episode 3 and beyond. They also note the show's likely return to money matters.They reflect on how Henry's near implosion affected Yasmin, how Yasmin will find relevance and respect as the season progresses, if at all, and what Harper's major conflicts will be in episode 3, as well as what role Eric will play in the ensuing expansion of the story, given his unique perspective among the main cast. While they're at it, one tenacious member of the group tries to convince the others that Rose could have saved Jack after the Titanic went down.They of course also take some time to dissect Hayley's role in the story, and try to figure out what kind of chaos — or disaster — awaits her and everyone she becomes entangled with.

Ever watched an episode of TV that felt both like a warm hug and a brisk bucket of ice? Like a song of ice and fire perhaps? Well, you certainly have if you've seen this one!HBO's brand new 'Game of Thrones' spinoff, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms', is finally here and the squad is stoked to be back in Westeros. Ebube summoned Afam and Soonen to discuss the great new frontier this show represents for the Game of Thrones brand, the context it has the potential to provide for the two George R. R. Martin adaptations that have already premiered, and the fact that this is bound to be a fun ride.They also praise the production design and costuming, as well as the stellar performances, shouting out the two incredibly charming leads — Peter Claffey and Dexter Sol Ansell — and how everything on screen comes together to kickstart a journey that might just be a welcome departure from the status-quo.You can support us hereAlso available on YouTubeHost: Ebube Ubochi Guests: Afam and SoonenProduction by: Ebube Ubochi

Looks like it might be another tough season for friendships.Unlike Jonah, Ebube and AJ are exceedingly focused people, who want to have more and be more, which is why they start by establishing that this season is a new dawn for HBO's 'Industry', and discussing what this rebirth might mean for its narrative and tone.They salute Harry Lawtey’s Robert and explain how his absence from the new season is a feature and not a bug, and they talk about what might be in store for each character in the coming episodes. They also point out that Whitney might be a lot more dangerous than meets the eye...It’s gonna be an unhinged season.

Ready for an adventure? HBO certainly is, so we might as well strap in too.With 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' just around the corner, Ebube and Soonen start by delving into why HBO’s brand new Game of Thrones spinoff will feel familiar, but different in all the right ways. They explain what a hedge knight actually is, and point out some of the ways this show will add some much-appreciated context to what casual viewers might know about the George R. R. Martin’s colossal epic. They also explain why no prior knowledge is required, as this show is expected to be among other things, a great hang.You can support us hereAlso available on YouTubeHost: Ebube Ubochi Guests: SoonenProduction by: Ebube Ubochi
