The twelfth episode of The Media By Us pan-media podcast, Talkie Talk.

In this episode, we have Brent, Chris, TJ and David discuss last week’s homework (Filth), their Watchlists, some Breezy on the Streets (Trailers, returning TV, etc.) before going into the main topic (another Facebook suggestion!): checking what movie or TV show you mentally associate with an actor or actress. Like, who is Idris Elba to you? – Luther? Stringer Bell? That branch manager for two episodes of The Office? Shooter McGavin? A psychologically revealing episode this week.

Game of Thrones is a great show.

It’s a great show to watch – a great show to talk about – and a great show for theorizing. However. It’s going to be a while before we can do any of that.

Season 6 started in April 2016 – the news just broke that the anticipated Season 7 will premiere July 16th. At least is July of this year. So far. The reason for the delay is apparently due to weather – since Winter Is Coming, they wanted to shoot during winter months (in a show that has multiple computer-generated dragons, white specks are a dealbreaker).

So what do we do until then?
Figure out something else to scratch this itch until June.

Consider the Viking. Specifically, Vikings, the History Channel Norse epic.
