'House of the Dragon’ Season 3, Episode 2 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, joining me today, because today, King's Landing receives its queen.

**Joanna Robinson** (0:19)
Me?

**Mallory Rubin** (0:20)
It's Joanna Robinson, queen of my heart.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:22)
Whose head do I take?

**Mallory Rubin** (0:24)
Well, I'm the only other one in the studio right now, so that's worrying.

**Joanna Robinson** (0:27)
Guys, come on in.

**Carlos Chiriboga** (0:29)
Come on in.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:31)
Jo, we are here, of course, to dive deep, profoundly deep, all the way to the bottom of the shore.

**Carlos Chiriboga** (0:39)
Fish feet.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:40)
Except there's too many bones in the way. Bones.

**Mallory Rubin** (0:43)
House of the Dragon. Yeah, a little Baltimore X that came out. Yeah, bones. Over there. Yeah, other side of the table. Wow, what a twist. We're here to talk about Hathi, House of the Dragon, season three, episode two. What an episode it was. It's called Queen's Landing. We are going to go beat by beat through the entire thing right after this.

**Mallory Rubin** (2:15)
Before we do any of that, we're actually gonna share some programming reminders. I know, we always say right after this, it's never right after that.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:21)
No.

**Mallory Rubin** (2:22)
Never. But you hook them, and then you hope they stay.
Programming reminders, here's what else we have cooking right now. Talk the Thrones. Every Sunday, immediately.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:31)
Immediately.

**Mallory Rubin** (2:32)
After the latest Hot D episode, we gather with our best beloved, Christopher Ryan.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:38)
Love him.

**Mallory Rubin** (2:38)
For Talk the Thrones. So Sunday night, TTT, Ep 3, be there. Not a good sign that I can't get out full words at the beginning of the pod, but we'll see how it goes today.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:48)
I think it's going to go very well.

**Mallory Rubin** (2:50)
I think the state of peak exhaustion really worked for us last week. We'll see if we could tap into that same mania today.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:58)
Okay.

**Mallory Rubin** (2:59)
I have high hopes.

**SPEAKER_3** (3:00)
I do too.

**Mallory Rubin** (3:00)
I have high hopes. In addition to Talk the Thrones, and then of course the House of the Dragon deep dives on Tuesday evenings, we are covering The Vampire Lestat. We're having a blast. Check out that show if you're not watching it. You can watch it on AMC Plus. Plus?

**SPEAKER_3** (3:14)
See.

**Mallory Rubin** (3:15)
And then our pods will be up on Mondays most weeks, TBD next week. We have a little bit of a schedule wrinkle we're working through.

**SPEAKER_3** (3:21)
Next week something's going on. And so if the Lestat episode is late next week, I promise we have a really good reason.

**Mallory Rubin** (3:26)
This is news to Carlos in real time because we haven't talked to him about this stuff. He's in the control room like, what the are they talking about?

**SPEAKER_3** (3:31)
We found out last night we might have a conflict. So we're doing our best and we'll get Lestat up as soon as we can.

**Mallory Rubin** (3:37)
It will be there. We'll be rocking out. Maybe we'll do the entire thing in song. We'll find out.
I can't wait to find out. And then, you know, we're only a couple of weeks away from the odyssey, so that is thrilling. We also have one, one Nolan revisited film left, Oppenheimer, so that is something that we will talk about at some point in the coming months, weeks, weeks. Do we know when? We don't. But at some point.
