Game of Thrones Episode 3 “Lord Snow” reviewed: Boomtron Podcast #5

Boomtron Podcast is the official podcast of Boomtron.com and the rest of the Boomtron Empire. It’s groupthink on genre news from the most un-nerdy group you will find talking about SFF in public.

This week Elena, Rachel, and guest Tobias from winteriscoming.net and G-mash discuss Zack Snyder and Suckerpunch, how much the new NFL draft format sucks, why Bones isn’t working right now, and whether Ender’s Game as interpreted by Summit Entertainment would even be recognizable to fans of the book.  As usual, though, the main focus is our review of the newest episode of Game of Thrones on HBO, this time around the third episode, titled “Lord Snow.”

You can now check out our podcasts on iTunes–just search Boomtron Podcast–and if you like what you hear (or even if you don’t), give it a review there!
