This week, Dave, Neil, and Joanna discuss the second episode of Season 2 of ‘House of the Dragon,’ "Rhaenyra the Cruel." They start by talking through their overall thoughts on the episode (5:17 ). Then, they answer some listener questions (15:48 ) before talking about this week’s poll: Who needs to get fired on ‘House of the Dragon’ (48:03 )? Later, they head into the Storm, where they discuss—in book-spoiling detail—theories about what may be coming this season (53:33 ) and break down the trailer for the remainder of the season (1:16:35 ).
