Tv Ate My Dinner

In what will certainly be a series of episodes focusing on Dr. Who's 50th Anniversary, Sean, Lynn, and Andrew take some time to recap the finale of the latest series of Dr. Who. They also talk about Sharknado, get Lynn's thoughts on Game of Thrones and there is a surprise appearance by VRON! Less surprising, now that I just told you about it, but does anybody really read these episode blurbs?

Sean, Lynn and Andrew talk about robots vs. monsters in Pacific Rim. They also discuss Batman vs. Superman, The Wolverine, Tom Cruise's Oblivion and Joss Whedon's Much Ado About Nothing.

Sean, Greg and Andrew return to finish their discussion of Superman. They talk about Superman's quest for peace as he tries to rid the world of nuclear weapons like his atomic hair clone. They also talk about the Superman movies that never happened. Written by Kevin Smith? Directed by Tim Burton? Starring Nicholas Cage? Or Sean Penn? Fighting Brainiac and giant spiders over the fate of the bottled city of Kandor? Those are a few of the things that could have been a part of a Superman movie before Superman Returns and Man of Steel hit the screens.

Sean, Greg and Andrew begin their long talked about retrospective of the Christopher Reeve Superman movies. They discuss how Richard Donner's vision eventually eroded into what became Superman 2 and led to Superman 3, Bryan's Singer's effort to pay homage to Donner in Superman Returns, the fast-paced landscape of movie marketing in today's world as opposed to when Superman: the Movie was released in 1978 and, yes, how all of this led up to Man of Steel.

Sean, Greg and Andrew talk about World War Z and This is the End as a study of comparative apocalypse and survival strategy. There's also some talk about Star Wars, Game of Thrones and Superman, so have a drink ready.

Sean, Greg and Andrew talk about Cloud Atlas and other emotional scifi dramas like The Time Traveler's Wife and Inception.

Sean, Greg and Andrew finish their discussion of Man of Steel, comparing it to success stories like Batman Begins and weighing the relative merits of a reboot over an homage like Superman Returns. There is also a little bit of talk about the Avengers, the upcoming Agents of SHIELD series, After Earth and Oblivion, with a little more wild speculation and constructive advice concerning the Batman and Justice League franchises.

Sean, Greg and Andrew talk about Man of Steel, the fanboy reaction, the character arc and sequel positioning, what it could mean for the Justice League and future DC franchises, and what it could mean specifically for the return of Batman. "S" is for "Spoiler", by the way. We talk about the movie plot and specific story elements, so you might want to watch the movie before listening.

Mhysa - Sean and Andrew wrap up their analysis of Game of Thrones Season 3 by contemplating Arya's future with the Hound, John's destiny to defend the wall from the white walkers, and how long it will take for dragons to cross the sea.

Sean, Greg and Andrew finish their discussion of Star Trek: Into Darkness, comparing it to Wrath of Khan, Star Wars, Serenity and anything else they can think of.

"The Rains of Castamere" - Sean and Andrew try to recover from the catastrophic events of the latest episode of Game of Thrones, dissecting the fate of the Starks and what the future may hold for them.

Sean, Greg and Andrew talk about the new Star Trek film, Into Darkness, and how it compares to earlier works such as Wrath of Khan.

Sean, Greg and Andrew discuss Iron Man 3, plus there is a little "Greg on the Throne", where Greg weighs in on the current season of Game of Thrones. They also talk a little bit about the latest season of Doctor Who. And if you're playing the TVAMD drinking game, you now have to take a drink any time they talk about Game of Thrones outside of the TV on the Throne podcast.

Sean and Andrew reflect on the year in TV, comparing the plot and character development of the latest season of The Walking Dead to more successful shows like Game of Thrones and the short-lived Firefly. How did Firefly manage to show so much of the characters and story in such a short amount of time, when other shows never seem to understand where the story should be headed? And does it all trace back to the Greedo Effect? Did Lucas inadvertently create a generation of hack writers and hardcore heroes by stripping that one scene in Star Wars of its moral ambiguities? Plus, Andrew watches Downton Abey. Just sayin'...

To tease the upcoming episodes of TV Ate My Dinner, Sean, Lynn and Andrew talk about Star Trek, Iron Man, World War Z, Pacific Rim, The World's End and the Perks of Being a Wallflower. You know, all the summer blockbusters.

Second Sons: Sean, Andrew and Lynn talk about setup and follow-through in the latest episode of Game of Thrones, as well as the power of royal blood, and the dangers of having a leech burned in your name.

The Bear and the Maiden Fair: Sean and Andrew discuss ass and strategy in the seventh episode of Season Three. The characters in this episode are mostly torn between duty and desire, forced to choose between the loyalties they've been bred for and the personal allegiances they've chosen. Plus someone fights a bear.

The Climb - Sean and Andrew talk about the series of awkward encounters that make up the sixth episode of Game of Thrones Season 3.

Sean, Gary and Andrew conclude their discussion on the Evil Dead remake, with a little talk about big movies like Battleship and small movies like Insidious. They even talk a little Star Wars, so get ready to take a shot.

Kissed By Fire: Sean and Andrew talk about religious allegories in Game of Thrones, from Old Testament to New and the influences of classical mythology. There is also more discussion on the brutality of war, honor vs. morality, and the importance of pacing in a story, with a little talk about wildling sex grottos, trial by fire and babies in jars. That's balls, man...
