'House of the Dragon’ Season 3, Episode 1 Deep Dive

**Mallory Rubin** (0:05)
Greetings, and welcome to House of R, a Ringerverse podcast on the Ringer Podcast Network. I'm Mallory Rubin, and joining me today, we may appear to have the weak and feeble bodies of women, but we possess the heart and spirit of a king.
It's Joanna Robinson.

We've come to pod for the Dragon Queen. What if I just say that every week? We've come to pod for the Dragon Queen.

Roddy the Ruin and his iconic quotes are welcome here at the House of R at all times. Whether or not it's a House of the Dragon deep dive, as far as I'm concerned, today is a House of the Dragon deep dive. We are going to dive deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep.

**Joanna Robinson** (0:46)
Profoundly.

**Mallory Rubin** (0:50)
Recklessly deep.

**Joanna Robinson** (0:51)
We are going to plumb the depths.

**Mallory Rubin** (0:53)
We're going to the bottom of the gullet.

**Joanna Robinson** (0:57)
Just like poor Berk.

**Mallory Rubin** (1:00)
Do we have an issue with the spoiler warning yet? God damn it.

All right, before we get started, we're sort of editing this in through the magic of editing.
To say, we just got confirmation from folks in The Note, folks who would definitely know this, that the location where Ulf and Hugh and Adam spend some time in this episode, season three, episode one, is the banks of the gods' eye, not the Isle of Faces, which is something we talked about on Talk the Thrones. So we are re-editing this podcast. If at any point we say Isle of Faces, it slipped through the edit, we didn't mean it.

**Mallory Rubin** (2:52)
We're gonna do our absolute best.
We're gonna do our absolute best. It's like we just time traveled to make this update.

**Joanna Robinson** (2:59)
That's fun.

**Mallory Rubin** (3:00)
And now we get to talk about programming reminders, which we originally shared three hours ago.

**Joanna Robinson** (3:05)
Go for it.

**Mallory Rubin** (3:07)
Okay, Joanna, before we get to season three, episode one, the season three premiere, let's hit some programming reminders. What else is cooking?

**Joanna Robinson** (3:15)
Oh, guess what? More House of the Dragon.

**Mallory Rubin** (3:17)
That's right.

**Joanna Robinson** (3:17)
Talk the Thrones with Christopher Ryan right after season three, episode two and season three, episode three and season three, episode four and so on and so on. Also, between Talk the Thrones and House of the Dragon, plumbing the very depths of this story and history and culture is a slightly less profound dive, but nonetheless important into the vampire list at.

**Mallory Rubin** (3:42)
Absolutely. We're sinking our fangs.

**Joanna Robinson** (3:44)
So it's Talk the Thrones, vampire list at and House of the Dragon deep dive. Those are the three hits you can expect from us every week. However, should there be a film release that we're excited about, perhaps you will get us not thrice, but four times a week.

**Mallory Rubin** (3:57)
It's entirely possible.

**Joanna Robinson** (3:57)
It's very normal.

**Mallory Rubin** (3:58)
We didn't rewatch every single Christopher Nolan movie and talk about all of them to not cover the odyssey when that comes out. For example, that would be wild.

**Joanna Robinson** (4:06)
That's like if we watched all of Doctor Who and then didn't cover the new scenes of Doctor Who.

**Mallory Rubin** (4:10)
Not something we would do.

**Joanna Robinson** (4:11)
Who would do that?

**Mallory Rubin** (4:15)
We'd love for you to follow along.
