1:12
learning Spanish because I don't think valyrians going to get me
1:15

You just reacted to my first bit of I was, I was very confused.
1:24
I didn't understand what was happening for a second and then
1:28
I remembered aside from that. How's it going?
1:34
It's going good. I just saw Harry Styles the
1:38
other night so that I saw that was a good time needed my
1:44
Saturday to recover from that. I didn't Peg you for a Harry
1:48
Styles fan. I mean his musics.
1:52
Amazing. He's amazing.
1:54
And then like everyone's right once you're there in his
1:57

2:35
fun. That was fun.
2:37
Lots of drinks. Lots of drinks.
2:40
They Had like lots of mimosas, but they had a mimosa called the
2:44
bitchy witchy mimosa, and I loved, it was like, it was
2:49
purple and sparkly, and it had like some blueberries thrown in
2:55
there. So, that was fun.
2:57
Well, that sounds good right now.
2:58
I'm thirsty. Is that a bar?
3:00
Or a bar called the fainting goat, which I found hilarious.
3:06

3:32
Welcome, thank you. Good to be here, excited for you
3:37

3:40
So I didn't hear it's going well busy.
3:44
You know, that's Hollow. Venom yeah.
3:47
Halloween weekend and crazy time.
3:52
Did he do anything fun this weekend?
3:54
Besides doulas with us? Yeah, this is the only fun thing
3:58
that's in my life right now. I'm getting pretty up there
4:03
though. My friend had a Halloween party
4:06
last night which was pretty fun, knows about it because I Is
4:10
clearly in bed, Elizabeth was at Drag Brunch.
4:13
So I need to live through you. Well, I spent the day trying to
4:17
figure out my last minute, Halloween costume, nice and
4:20
there. Yep, it was a struggle, but we
4:23
did it. I used most of my friends
4:25
clothing and wigs and I was Wanda, you know, Cosmo and Wanda
4:31
nice, boyfriend of supposed to be Cosmo but there was an issue.
4:39
We couldn't find. And the stuff in time.
4:42
So I was divorced. Wanda, Wanda is the best part of
4:50
the Fairly OddParents. Let's just all admit that.
4:52
This true, this is true. With that being said, we brought
4:58
Emily here because we have a huge episode ahead of us.
5:01
Yeah, a million and two costumes and we need someone who's an
5:06
expert. In all things Game of Thrones
5:08
and House of the dragon, that being said, Elizabeth for
5:11
watching House of the Dragon. Yeah, yes, Emily.
5:15
What did you think? Um that ending so good.
5:22
Right and the costumes were chefs kiss?
5:28
Yeah couldn't have said it better.
5:32
I mean this show was amazing. I feel like we all were kind of
5:37
nervous. I don't know, because Game of
5:38
Thrones didn't end very well for some people.
5:40
Apple. I'm not one of those people.
5:42
I still think it's an well there's a lot of pressure on the
5:46
house of the Dragon. If it would have been bad.
5:49
It would have been over, you know, Game of Thrones would have
5:51
been totally done and it exceeded expectations for me.
5:56
It definitely exceeded expectations.
5:59
I mean I was excited as soon as they announced that Matt Smith
6:03
was going to be in it. I was like, okay, well this like
6:07
at least I'll have Matt Smith even if nothing else is good.
6:10
And then they just like blew it out of the water. - I was
6:14
actually like, when I heard it was Matt Smith, I was like,
6:17
unsure about it and then really. All right, so I haven't seen him
6:21
in a ton of stuff, which is probably my problem.
6:24
But okay when I saw him like first episode, I was like oh God
6:29
he's so good. So yeah perfect they did a great
6:33
job. I was coming the same camp as
6:36
Emily. I was like Matt Smith and then I
6:37
saw morbius and I was like Matt Smith.
6:40
And then this came out, I was like Matt Smith, Never bet
6:45
against Matt Smith, he is superb.
6:50
But before we spoil anything Spencer, do you want to get a
6:53
summary? I do nearly 200 years before the
6:58
events of Game of Thrones the targaryens, and the realm are
7:01
divided by King. Viserys has decision to name.
7:05
His daughter rhaenyra are to the realm despite having Sons by his
7:09
second wife after years of Listen, miscommunication and
7:13
Allison's, pettiness. I wonder who wrote this.
7:16
The House of the Dragon is on the brink of Civil War and that
7:20
is out of the Dragon. Elizabeth, did you write this
7:23
summary? Yeah, I did.
7:29
It's spoilers from here on out and like I'm sorry, this is all
7:32
Alison's pettiness because she just could not go talk to her
7:36
friends back in the day. That's all, that's all this is.
7:40
Is so true. It's a very bad game of
7:43
telephone. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
7:47
Exactly. But let's get to the good part
7:51
and go behind the Wardrobe. We have series creators, Ryan J,
7:56
kondal, and George r.r. Martin with costume designer,
8:02
Jenny tamim, which Spencer, Hey, we've had her on the show before
8:08
for the Black Widow episode. Here, we're big fans of zany.
8:12
She does not miss with her costumes.
8:15
She doesn't. And you can tell that just from
8:18
her notable work of Harry Potter, and the Prisoner of
8:21
Azkaban, Bridget Jones Diaries Edge of Reason, Harry Potter
8:26
Goblet of Fire Children of Men, Harry Potter, and the Order of
8:30
the Phoenix, which she got a costume designers, Guild award
8:34
Harry Potter, and the Half-Blood Prince, Harry Potter, and the
8:36
Deathly Hallows part 1 and 2 part 2.
8:39
She also got A costume designer Guild award for Skyfall, another
8:44
costume, designer, Guild award, Judy, and black widow.
8:48
And I think like 90% of the Harry Potter she worked on got
8:53
nominated for Oscar Sonny does not miss.
8:58
She is a costume killer. Yeah.
9:01
Just beautiful work. And when I heard she was
9:03
attached to this show, I re was like I'm so ready.
9:07
They needed someone like her because they had to create 2500
9:12
costumes for the show, so they couldn't have somebody who was
9:16
messing around and Jenny told toddler that she wanted to
9:23
create a beautiful version of something, that viewers would be
9:27
interested in wearing themselves.
9:29
One way. People connect with characters
9:31
is if who they see on-screen resembles them and so some way.
9:37
So you need to draw inspiration from many places, Has.
9:41
So she was like we are recapturing.
9:43
This audience mission accomplished mission
9:47
accomplished and the showrunner is also for like, okay, we got
9:51
to recapture this audience. Create a whole new look because
9:55
Jenny said to Vanity, Fair France that right away.
9:59
The showrunner said to me. It's spring.
10:02
Winter hasn't arrived. Yet it wasn't winter is coming,
10:05
but spring is there and Game of Thrones.
10:08
There were a lot of black and gray color.
10:10
Lawyers they wanted renewal, which you can totally see in the
10:14
show. When for that besides, you can
10:17
see that totally makes sense that I'm thinking back on.
10:19
It Game of Thrones was very dark.
10:21
You would never see like bright Reds like rhaenyra, where's or
10:24
bright greens. That would have been startling
10:26
and Game of Thrones know. Like, when I thought about that,
10:29
like, even thinking of like Daenerys, you never see her in a
10:33
bright red. It's always like very dark Reds.
10:37
She like she wears and she never wears anything fully.
10:40
Ed and the show, I don't think, but in this they have color
10:46
left, right? And Center.
10:48
Also, in terms of creating a whole new look, Jenny spoke to
10:53
Vanity Fair, France. Some more saying the story takes
10:57
place at the height of the Targaryen civilization.
11:00
So, to show it, I used a lot of elements from the Renaissance
11:05
and I also worked on a lot of Oriental elements like long
11:09
Moroccan ear. Rings or The Gold of the
11:12
byzantines. I had other underlying
11:15
influences for the cuts. For example, I found a samurai
11:19
skirt and thought the character of Matt Smith.
11:22
Absolutely had to wear a skirt. A warrior and pants is boring.
11:29
So she was like pulling out all the stops for this show.
11:33
That's a solid quote, but talking of Matt, Smith's
11:39
character, Spencer Shay. We take a little break before we
11:42
jump into Damon. Yeah, I need to take a little
11:45
break and start putting my dragon eggs on the fire or
11:49
something, I don't know. Yeah, if we're going to take
11:52
over the world. Spencer, you got to start
11:54
hatching those dragon eggs. And we are you ready for this?
11:58
I am, I think I am. Okay.
12:19

13:06
Alright, friends, are you ready to get into the house of the
13:09
Dragon? Yeah, the show starts with this
13:13
crazy opening, it's all of 15 seconds, long, but already are.
13:17
We knew we were in for something amazing.
13:21
Is that the Kings moment where he's supposed to choose his next
13:25
are, So they've been really nice but he chose good Ovis Aries and
13:29
you know, starts the whole story but just I wanted to talk about
13:33
this real quick because I don't know what you guys thought, but
13:36
when I saw all these costumes, I already was like, yeah, this is
13:39
going to be awesome. Yeah, this for you, like you
13:42
said, it's like, 15 seconds but that first 15 seconds tells you
13:46
everything. It's like, okay, this is going
13:48
to be messy. And there's going to be drama
13:51
and everybody's going to look gorgeous.
13:53
Yeah. All the way through 100%.
13:56
And the kit just the King sitting on his throne so Regal
14:00
and then it doesn't it like zoom out and you see more.
14:03
Yeah. See like all the soldiers lining
14:06
the room and people and the sets and it's crazy so good.
14:12
I want to go back and watch it now because I don't really
14:14
remember like this first episode was such a whirlwind and now
14:17
looking back at everything we've gone through.
14:20
Yeah, probably after this podcast, I will yeah.
14:23
Same same Just like dang looking at this.
14:27
And like, all this messiness could have been avoided.
14:30
If they, he just named his daughter are because then she
14:34
already had her son, he would have been next in line.
14:37
Everybody would have been happy. Yeah.
14:41
But one person who is never happy.
14:44
We have Damon. Oh, man, I became a fast Damon
14:50
fan. I think, by the first episode I
14:52
already was like, okay, no, that's not true.
14:55
Second episode Because First episodes when he does that
14:58
street cleaning, yeah. Like I I'm like kind of upset
15:10
with how much I like Damon but like you can't help but love him
15:14
and Jenny really loves. Damon.
15:18
She talked to Vanity Fair about him a little bit.
15:22
She said he was Sublime to dress.
15:26
A sexy villain is superb. I love dressing men in general
15:31
doing men's tailoring. I can't stand the shapeless
15:35
baggy, Trend. I love a well, drawn body.
15:39
So she was like ready to dress Matt Smith, Emily.
15:46
What did you think of Damon's costumes?
15:48
I love them. Especially, I mean even these
15:50
three pictures just that the detail in the middle and his
15:55
what was the The armor that he wore when he got the note from
15:59
the King and it's like, yeah, that's so solid.
16:04
I just love all the textures. I love the use of dragon scale
16:08
and all the Targaryen looks. Yeah.
16:11
Yes, but I think my favorite was that night armor.
16:14
He wears that is some solid armor.
16:18
I'd love some good armor. The armor and this was excellent
16:24
Janine told Tyler. Or even though I loved the
16:28
armor, it was difficult to design Damon's armor especially
16:32
because I thought it was extremely important when it
16:35
comes to his helmet. I didn't want to do just any
16:39
kind of mask. I wanted to create a sexy Dragon
16:43
helmets, aren't the prettiest and it's hard to create a
16:47
beautiful face on a mask, but we succeeded, Yeah, I agree.
16:53
That armor was so cool. I was in same and like I love
16:59
all the detail, the dragon face and just how it changes in each
17:05
situation like the fancy. Like Knight armor for
17:09
tournament, the like really bulky gold cloak where it's
17:13
like, yeah, I'm here to be intimidating.
17:16
And then the much more practical like at wore armor.
17:19
Like he has an armor for every occasion.
17:21
Asian. Yeah.
17:22
Yeah, the armor. He wears to go meet the crab
17:25
feeder. That's some solid.
17:29
So good, so good. I will say, my only thing is
17:34
Damon's wigs are just they take me out of it.
17:37
Like ever so slightly till the end.
17:40
Yeah. By the end you're you get used
17:42
to it but that first time you see him you're like what is
17:45
happening with your kind of like long hair on that smooth like
17:51
not Biggest fan, but like it by the end like they've got a good
17:56
look for him but also like that's part of like kind of like
17:59
Damon's Evolution because it's like he's got like his
18:02
rebellious like younger Targaryen like brother phase or
18:07
he's just like trying to win his brother's approval.
18:11
But like in his way, not the way that would actually work and
18:15
then he acts like he doesn't care and like goes off across
18:19
the sea, which I like his, like you.
18:21
During that time period, he never wears anything like black
18:25
or red like nothing to indicate he's a Targaryen because he's
18:29
like well I'm never going to be king So by and then he comes
18:34
back around and he's back in black and looks better than
18:37
ever. And now he's just like our
18:42
favorite husband, who also abuses rhaenyra, but like I
18:49
think between Seasons, we all need to take Hard.
18:52
Look at ourselves as to why? Yeah, like Damon so much.
18:58
Really sad. Somebody.
19:00
I don't ever feel bad about liking is King.
19:03
The series was like what? What a sweet old man.
19:09
He's such a lovable guy. I just I saw in him like there
19:13
was times where he did things in here like that wasn't a good
19:15
decision but like he honestly has good heart like Ooh, all of
19:21
these decisions except for the very first episode kind of a
19:25
rough episode for him. Yeah.
19:28
But from that point forward you could just see that he's just
19:31
really over the family drama, just wants things to be peaceful
19:34
and move on. That's why they called the
19:36
series to Peaceful. Yeah, I don't know if it's that
19:38
cool but name but I respect that he's like hey I kept shit.
19:44
Calm can any of you say the same?
19:46
Yeah but Ginny also loved dressing.
19:50
The saris I said I readapted him for the long sleeveless jackets
19:57
that suit men so. Well, I use it for the Death
20:00
Eaters and Harry Potter. It gave them a real Elegance.
20:04
Men walk elegantly as soon as they wear a Long Jacket they
20:08
show their silk caress their velvet.
20:13
I noticed the same Coquette Coquette tree in the actresses
20:18
as in the actors so she Was like, I'm making him look good
20:23
so that he is Regal and like, loves his clothes, which he
20:28
does. He dresses.
20:29
Well, yeah, I love his costumes. I especially loved all his
20:34
shoulders to what is that? Like shoulder cut, but they do
20:38
so well in Game of Thrones like this light.
20:41
I don't know. Badass sleeve.
20:43
It's like a badass Game of Thrones sleeve.
20:45
I don't know how to explain it, but his good name.
20:49
It's like a variation of like a cat.
20:51
Sleeve. I think.
20:53
Yeah, and I do love all the studying and viserys is, looks
20:58
it did remind me of the Death Eaters, which is pretty badass
21:02
too, because the Death Eaters use like a lost studying.
21:05
So I see that inves aires. I like it because it's like,
21:10
pretty simple. What looks like it's simple.
21:12
But it has, it actually has a lot of detail to it.
21:15
And it's like, I don't know. I feel like it fits him because
21:19
he's not one for like, Crazy over-the-top fashion statements,
21:25
right? Yeah.
21:26
The fleas little bit more like cool and collected.
21:29
It's all about the small details.
21:30
What he should have been worrying.
21:32
Was some armor saying on that chair, though?
21:34
Because clearly that was a mistake for him.
21:38
Yeah, yeah. He he did not judge well,
21:43
protective way. Who should also be wearing some
21:48
protective wear now. Auto Hide.
21:51
Our yeah, protect me from, who you from me from Rainier as
22:01
coming after his ass. You know, she is now.
22:04
Yeah, I do, Hightower sucks. Yeah.
22:08
Really one of those characters. Yeah.
22:11
I think I hate him more than anyone else in the show by far,
22:15
whenever she even sinkhole. I think it's so cool.
22:19
And then him, Now it's still Auto and then Circle for me.
22:25
Okay? Yeah.
22:26
Cuz he's manipulated alicent within like an inch of her life.
22:32
He's the reason for all of this to me.
22:35
Yeah, he is the problem. Allison.
22:37
And Kristen are just like a part of his master plan.
22:41
That's true. I feel gross.
22:44
I feel gross. That's true.
22:48
And when Jenny was talking, Vanity Fair France.
22:53
She talked a lot about like how she collaborates with actors and
22:58
when she was dressing Reese, who played Auto Hightower, she said
23:05
she ended up having a conversation where he told her.
23:08
I want a collar between Karl Lagerfeld and the shirt.
23:13
I wear in Ibiza. It was his way of telling me he
23:17
wanted a collar that was a bit higher but still open.
23:21
He however, he cannot wear armor.
23:23
It suffocates him physically. So we made a half armor.
23:27
It's very important to listen to actors and bring the costumes to
23:31
life. I don't work for Madame to sews,
23:34
so she was, like, I need to work with these people to make it
23:38
something, they're comfortable. And but that also, you know,
23:41
works for the show and I gotta say, I like the high open
23:45
collar, because it makes it even more menacing than he already
23:48
is. Yeah.
23:52
The otter costume is pretty nice.
23:54
I will give him that, it does look very sophisticated.
23:58
He does like a little bit more wise and scholarly I love to
24:03
textiles it kind of reminds me of what Tyrion where's and Game
24:06
of Thrones actually who they both end up being hand of the
24:09
king. Yes, yeah.
24:13
Yeah. Absolutely.
24:14
And it cuz it's like, until he's like pushing Alison to like, you
24:19
know, overthrow renier Like he is like he's a smart guy like he
24:24
does seem to want the best until he's thrown out because he like
24:29
can't get past the fact that his grandsons won't be, you know
24:33
King. Yeah.
24:35
But it doesn't matter because we have sweet.
24:38
Young Alison played by Emily Carrie.
24:43
I miss this Allison. I Young elephant was so cool.
24:53
I mean she obviously makes horrible decisions but I I do
24:57
not hate Alison as much as everyone else.
24:59
Hates Allison. I hate older Allison.
25:04
I don't hate this younger alicent.
25:07
There's like there's like a difference.
25:08
There's a difference. That's for the younger elephant.
25:12
Yes. Absolutely.
25:15
But like, I love her wardrobe because it really shows like a
25:19
transition from like, Just this young noblewoman, very modest
25:25
covered up, you know, very light colors to you know as soon as
25:31
the King dies her dad's like put on your mother's gowns which you
25:35
know very dark colors. A bit like bit more revealing
25:39
like pulled closer to the body, like very very mature compared
25:44
to like her loose Cuts with like the long sleeves, she like long
25:50
billowy sleeves. He was wearing before.
25:52
Yeah, my favorite costume of hers is that blue one?
25:55
That has all the, like, rectangular cut outs and the
25:58
collar. That's a beautiful one.
26:00
Yeah, that's a beautiful dress. I'm one of her more, I guess.
26:04
I see more pictures of pictures of this one on the internet than
26:07
any others. Yeah.
26:08
Because it's really, it's really a beautiful gown in it.
26:11
It's like sexy and revealing, and like a Game of Thrones way.
26:14
I feel like that's what it was but that as she's Queen, she's a
26:20
neat old. Grazia.
26:22
When Alison is first married and she is being a nice wife before
26:26
she discovers things are rotten in her kingdom.
26:29
She is dressed up in black and red as a queen cause she was
26:35
like, I'm a Targaryen now. Like, this is, this is what I'm
26:40
supposed to do, dressing, red and black to support my king.
26:46
She said, we could act the part for a little bit.
26:49
Yeah, because she's not acting up.
26:51
First she really is like as enthusiastic as one could be,
26:55
she is ready to go for it and you know she's a family person.
26:59
She wants to have kids dress. Like I mean who doesn't want to
27:02
be the queen of Westeros? Yeah she doesn't like she
27:06
doesn't think twice about the fact that Rooney or is going to
27:08
like inherit the Kingdom. She's just like trying to be a
27:12
good wife and mother, but I do love her Cuts because they're
27:16
like, they're very maternal, they're very modest like even
27:21
Like her v-neck is very like, it only seems extreme.
27:25
It's not really, it's actually quite shallow.
27:29
She has all like these squared off necklines, like nothing.
27:32
Nothing reviewing at all. About her costumes, right?
27:37
Emily? What did you think of young
27:39
elephants costumes? I really liked them.
27:43
I this like I liked the, the one that had like the woven talk,
27:48
the white one where she wore to the Tour de Oh yeah.
27:52
I like that woven detail and I liked that.
27:55
You could see the change from when she liked her, the change
27:59
in her mindset through her costume later on.
28:02
Right. That's a very good point,
28:04
actually, I think for her more than any other character, you
28:07
could see her mindset through her costumes especially when she
28:11
switches to that green dress before he switched before they
28:16
go through the Aging up process. Yeah, absolutely.
28:21
And for that green dress Janee. Actually got a lot of
28:25
inspiration from Queen Elizabeth very vibrant wardrobe.
28:30
She said took Rosie a in this world.
28:34
One of the only ways for Alison to express themselves is color.
28:40
I remember when click Queen Elizabeth were a blue hat in the
28:44
middle of brexit that was her subtle way of saying she was
28:47
against brexit, so of Queen. Elizabeth is doing it.
28:51
Why shouldn't Alison appear in a full green to say?
28:56
No I am a high tower before I am a Targaryen so I was like that's
29:06
Badass costume is lying, right there?
29:08
Yeah. Have you seen all the
29:11
comparisons? First of all, I love this dress
29:14
is a beautiful dress. The second song was like wow.
29:16
That's like a showstopper. Yeah.
29:19
But have you seen all the comparisons of Of this alicent
29:22
to like Fiona and Shrek. Yeah, I mean you have to see it.
29:25
Yeah, comparisons in general are hilarious.
29:34
It's just so they're like you can't look away because there's
29:38
something and Shrek for everything that happens in House
29:40
of the Dragon. There was also another thing
29:44
that happens in Shrek and house the dragon a wedding for
29:47
alicent, but we don't get to see it and I'm totally Gonna buy the
29:52
box set because there is this beautiful wedding gown.
30:00
Janine told Vanity Fair that there's one costume missing
30:05
because the scene was cut, Allison's wedding dress, that's
30:09
a shame. She was white with red sleeves
30:12
or so show that she was part of the family house.
30:17
Her geryon, you shouldn't cry for a costume that goes away,
30:20
but hey, Hey, I really cried. This is a gorgeous piece and I'm
30:27
so sad. We don't get to see it.
30:30
I would Grant to it's so beautiful.
30:33
I can't believe we got the foot fetish scene, but not the
30:37
wedding scene. Right?
30:39
Right. We can't have like one, happy
30:44
wedding scene. Like, I guess they're like, no,
30:46
we don't do happy wedding. So only do sad violent wedding.
30:52
Unless you're marrying. Your uncle s.
30:53
You're marrying. Your uncle.
30:55
That's right. Speaking of we have young
31:00
rhaenyra played by Millie Alcock and she is one person who just
31:05
like in the show, she knows who she is.
31:08
And like, isn't going to change for anybody, or any situation
31:13
through this whole thing. Yeah, I loved Millie, by the
31:17
way, this girl deserves an Emmy, she killed it.
31:21
As rhaenyra so good and all her costumes were badass.
31:25
One of my personal favorites is the one she wore to the
31:27
tournament. Yeah, dramatic.
31:30
Huge collar. Yeah, the Hat.
31:33
That's a badass costume. I just fell in love with it
31:36
immediately. That's a great one.
31:38
I also loved the one. She wore to the hunt where it
31:42
was going to say the same thing. Yes.
31:45
Because it's like, it's so strong but so feminine and her
31:49
it's like perfect. Yeah, and then when she's all
31:52
bloody and like, oh yeah, that's a good scene, I love it and she
31:59
sees like the white stag and she totally forgive me.
32:02
I get out of here. I like this is badass.
32:05
Queen energy. Everyone it is and the badass
32:10
Queen energy continues with her investor Char.
32:15
Jenny told grazia that I was inspired by the Moroccan bride.
32:21
When I was designing for the rhaenyra investiture costume, I
32:26
found an old image and I, and she had very long earrings and
32:31
something on the head that image just stayed with me, I wanted
32:36
the dress to look quite frail. We see her getting dressed and I
32:41
want the first image to be of a girl.
32:44
After that, she put the cape on and I wanted the cape to look
32:49
heavy. It actually was But putting the
32:52
cape on, she put the whole Kingdom on top of her shoulders.
32:57
Well yeah, it's that costume is so stunning and I totally see
33:03
that two of the cape. It is so heavy.
33:05
She has a whole Kingdom on her shoulders kind of I mean it gets
33:08
ripped off of her but in that moment she is the whole Kingdom
33:11
on top of her shoulders, she does and I love the Moroccan
33:17
inspiration. She said To toddler that.
33:22
It was the second hardest costume was raining as
33:27
coronation dress because she wanted it to look antique for
33:31
the time and something that was cultural but not too
33:36
recognizable. She said their world is
33:39
completely fantasy and it's difficult when you're trying to
33:44
create a unique antique and special dress.
33:48
So it's like this was supposed to be like Iced down peace and
33:52
she was like, oh, you know, we don't really have like a Visual
33:55
History for for this Kingdom. So she was like, gotta make this
34:02
look old but still part of the world.
34:04
Yeah, this might be one of my favorites.
34:08
It's definitely up there. Mmm, potential one costume to
34:13
rule them all for Emily potential.
34:15
For sure. I love that because it is, it
34:20
just like I love it too. Because in this moment she's
34:23
like completely deciding who she wants to be and like there's no
34:27
going back for her after this. Yeah.
34:30
Um also a scene that was really no going back from is her first
34:35
wedding. Her first her first wedding and
34:42
in this scene I feel you can see a lot of like the Byzantine
34:45
inspiration Jeanine had she said to grazia it was important to
34:49
think about the Time because the gold means power, the rubies and
34:55
emeralds as well. Everything means wealth.
34:58
And I feel like before the whole like fight breaks out, like her
35:04
father, is whole plan with this because it was supposed to be
35:06
like, what? Seven days like leading up to
35:08
the wedding, something like that.
35:10
It was going to be a party week in King's Landing.
35:13
Now the party weekend King's Landing was supposed to show
35:16
them like Hey we're wealthy were powerful.
35:19
Like no, you're not. Not happy, she's going to be
35:22
your next ruler, but everything's going to be okay.
35:25
And I feel like that's really what this this outfit shows,
35:28
even though it wasn't supposed to be her wedding gown though,
35:31
it's very Bridal, especially as we know it.
35:34
And I love the like the cape that's supposed to be, the one
35:39
he puts on her shoulders, with the with the Valerian crass, and
35:43
the Targaryen on the same Cape. I loved that.
35:47
Yeah, it's such a cool element. It's so beautiful to look at and
35:50
I The way that the black and the blue work together, I really do
35:54
love house, Valerian and House Targaryen together.
35:57
Yeah, they're just like a good group of people together, hmm,
36:01
But I love that eventually wedding dress, that she wears
36:08
and just the text on. It was so beautiful and it just
36:11
looked she looks so young. But also so Queen alike, I don't
36:15
know. It was great, that whole
36:17
episode, I was stressed, it was a wedding episode and they
36:21
honestly, barely remember like the first 40 minutes because I
36:24
was just like, oh no, there's a, what, what's gonna wish they had
36:30
left in like, Alison sweating and just made it like a nice
36:34
wedding. So that like, when this comes
36:36
with like, oh, maybe things are going to be okay, we had a
36:39
wedding, it was fine, but one gave us a little bit.
36:44
Yeah, exactly. Maybe it's too obvious.
36:47
Like they knew that we would see that they would be like, okay,
36:49
we gave him something nice. Now, it's about to go south
36:52
exactly what I do. Love about this dress though, is
36:56
cuz, like, the valyrians, they're all about like being
36:59
semen. The ocean, this dress, like has
37:02
like that, like, netting pattern on its own like, oh, that's like
37:06
the Valerian then it has all these like like gold details and
37:10
rubies, and that's Targaryen and like I love that shit through
37:13
all the pieces of this costume, like she's communicating like
37:17
yeah, she's going housefull Aryan but she's still a
37:19
Targaryen who's To be your ruler especially with the cloak
37:25
because in the Game of Thrones when Sansa gets married to
37:29
Tyrion and they have the cloak with like the lion head on the
37:33
back to be like, nope, she's a Lannister now.
37:38
With this cloak, they're kind of saying the opposite.
37:40
They're like, no. She's always gonna be a
37:42
Targaryen with the Targaryen and the Valerian crests on here.
37:46
I mean, potential wedding ideas for myself, honestly, like I'm
37:50
learning. Truly necklace.
37:56
Oh, I just want to give a little shout out to that necklace.
38:01
Yeah. Gorgeous jewelry game in the
38:04
show, is next level. Yes, absolutely.
38:08
Oh, man. Before we go to break, we need
38:11
to talk about Sir. Kristen, just real quick.
38:13
Let's get over with sir. Crispy Yasser crispy.
38:20
He had his Well, we all loved him, the first couple episodes,
38:23
didn't we? Yeah, it was like, a full 180 on
38:26
my feelings for sir crispy. Yeah, I've never not liked the
38:30
characters so fast from like one single episode, you know, yeah,
38:36
lack of communication. Once again, also, he just
38:40
couldn't handle rejection, I guess.
38:51
Shin sir, Kristen where's the armor of, you know, the
38:55
kingsguard and protecting rhaenyra and I just think it's a
38:59
good moment to shout out. All the king's guard armor with
39:01
the white cloaks very solid armor.
39:06
It sucks thing it on Kristen but anyone else who wears around
39:09
like that is some badass armor. It absolutely is.
39:14
And it's like, it's elegant yet practical.
39:18
Like, I like that, that part of it.
39:21
Yeah, and I loved it. The cloak detaches.
39:24
I don't know why but I just write satisfying to me when one
39:29
of the characters at the end like just pulled his cloak off.
39:32
I was like, wait what? Yeah, I don't know but it's
39:45
cool. But are you ready for a time
39:49
Jump after our Break, let's take a break.
39:53

42:03
She knew what she was doing. Yeah.
42:06
Yes. Yeah, yeah, let's talk about how
42:08
solarian. I am a big fan.
42:11
They just, I love how they know how to make an entrance, they
42:14
do. And their costumes are always
42:17
to, you know, the gods going all the way to like, you know,
42:24
Rainier as wedding with lane or when they all walk in that
42:28
massive group of valyrians I was sold.
42:31
Yeah. So badass the black and gold
42:34
they had going it was like Yeah. Perfect.
42:38
Right? Especially lane or his wedding
42:42
outfit. I was like, yes, sir.
42:44
You understand that way? Was a cool guy?
42:49
Yeah. Yeah.
42:50
His wedding outfit was was nice. I think all of the Valyrian
42:54
textiles just feel so Regal to me.
42:59
Yeah, I definitely feel like their house keeps more of like a
43:04
Valyrian look. To then to because they're just
43:08
like out doing their own thing. Yeah.
43:11
I especially love the blue. All the blues.
43:14
Look. Yeah.
43:15
Excellent. Because they're of the sea,
43:17
which is also cool. I'm like, I love this of the sea
43:21
moment. All the blues Lord.
43:24
Corliss is such a baddie. I know that he has like some hit
43:28
and miss episodes, especially when he, like, has like a mental
43:32
breakdown and goes to war for like so many years and leaves
43:35
her a nice alone. I call injured and be like, what
43:38
happened? Like I just every time I see
43:42
him, I'm like, this is Excellence.
43:44
He's a cool guy. I want to be on his team.
43:47
I'm so glad he chose rainy reside in the end because that
43:51
would have been bad for me. I love it.
43:55
Yeah, I love that rainy's was like, no, no, because he's like,
44:00
you know what, you're right. We should stay out of things and
44:03
she was like, no, not this time. It's like Bitch, I just broke my
44:07
dragon out of it. We're too late.
44:11
We're past that. We gotta pick a side.
44:14
Yeah, she's like, this is the one time we can stay out of it.
44:17
You didn't listen to me all the other times, but you're
44:19
listening to me now. Oh my gosh, and then Lord,
44:24
cordless and Rainier re nieces daughters to.
44:28
I'm just like everyone in this and then eventually Damon's
44:31
daughters to there's lots of daughters happening icon.
44:35
I love when she Goes after Damon.
44:37
She's just like hey I'm single, you're single.
44:41
Yeah, that's up. Your low-key unstable.
44:48
You're lucky unstable but you'll let me ride a dragon.
44:51
So let's get this, some more of her like such a badass
44:57
character, right? When she stepped in front of the
45:01
old lady Grandma Dragon. I was like, please, I don't lie.
45:09
Calling her like Meemaw? Yeah.
45:23
No more. Traumatic birth.
45:24
Seems, I've had enough. Oh my gosh.
45:31
I've learned so much about childbirth and weeks.
45:37
I don't know more, I'm good. Who I wish had not gone quite
45:42
yet. King viserys.
45:45
Well, he does moment, while they do not change.
45:48
Actors for his age up. He starts looking rough.
45:53
He starts looking rough little he's giving full on Golem when
45:58
he enters the cave for the first time Return of the King, I love
46:05
the three. It was so hard seeing him wither
46:08
away but when he's at the end of his life and he walks into the
46:11
throne room, ready to put some haters too quiet, and he's
46:15
wearing that gold mask. I mean I was just like such
46:20
chills I got and also another underrated costume moment for
46:24
the series is when he's in his deathbed and he's wearing like
46:27
this really dramatic golden robe.
46:29
What does look like a golden cuff?
46:33
Like you serving right now in his Deathbed?
46:36
Good. Yeah.
46:40
That looks like gold mask moment was badass.
46:43
Cool. It was.
46:45
And I was like he does all this the day the day he dies and then
46:50
use you still are like yeah let's just overthrow the
46:53
daughter. Like let's believe the lie that
46:57
on his deathbed a couple hours later.
46:59
He changed his mind. Okay.
47:02
Yeah, psychotic yes. But I also like the series is
47:08
not time for story time. We were a get it Jon.
47:10
Snow is Gonna Save Us one day, we need to let this go.
47:16
Also Elizabeth. This is what I wanted from The
47:18
Phantom of the Opera. Is what viserys was giving in
47:21
this fight you wanted? This is what you wanted.
47:26
The yes, I think the Phantom mask looks cheap.
47:29
This is what I wanted but the Phantom is like a lonely guy.
47:33
In a flooded basement. Spencer.
47:36
Doesn't have the resources that came to Paris.
47:40
Yeah, definitely doesn't have that Targaryen money.
47:45
I guess, I will say, I thought the saracens gonna die like six
47:53
episodes. Yeah.
47:55
Every every episode for like six episodes, I was like, okay he's
47:59
fine. This is it.
48:04
Yeah. After Rainier as a wedding and
48:06
It shows, you know, the preview for next week after like, the
48:09
10-year time, Jump or whatever, and I saw officer, he's sitting
48:13
there. I was like, you gotta be kidding
48:14
me, are you see this Man still alive?
48:20
Yeah, that was crazy. He is definitely still alive and
48:25
raise some very questionable children, right?
48:29
How did he go so wrong after going?
48:31
So right, you know, I don't know, I don't know how Alice.
48:36
On her high. Moral horse.
48:37
Let two of her children get married.
48:41
I don't know how any of this happened, and I wish there was
48:44
explanation, but this point in the show, we're at the team
48:50
blacks vs. Team greens.
48:53
So let's start with the greens, Elsa and all four children, and
48:57
her very questionable father. Hmm, I will say older Allison.
49:02
She does get some like pretty badass style and especially now
49:06
That she's found religion and is what she said, but like she
49:11
starts, okay, hear me out when she finds Religion.
49:15
She starts to bring in a little bit of that.
49:17
Cersei influence to her costumes.
49:19
Do you see what I'm saying? Yeah, a bit more structured, a
49:21
little bit more, a little bit more frightening.
49:24
Like I wouldn't want to be left in a room of Allison because
49:26
she's so, like intense. Is she going to have sir Kristen
49:30
bash my head in? She feels she gonna give me some
49:36
juice. The gospel go either way.
49:42
All right. No, I do love older Allison's
49:45
style. Like she just like she looks so
49:49
good. She looks she like updates.
49:51
Her wardrobe to look very Regal and queen-like and expensive.
49:57
She's like yes, I'm the queen before she was like, oh, I'm
50:00
just the king's wife but she's like, no, I am the queen and
50:04
you're all are going to listen to me.
50:06
Yeah, the actress who plays older Elsa even said that to she
50:10
said at one point, she just was referring to herself as the
50:13
cerises viserys is wife. And she's like, no, I'm the
50:17
queen of Westeros and she really picks that up in her costumes
50:21
and a second half of the Season. Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
50:26
And I love how just through the costume, you can tell how
50:29
different her sons are cuz with a mon Targaryen and being like
50:36
For an anime villain with that. He looks like someone you would
50:41
see in like Cowboy Bebop or something.
50:44
He's scary, I don't know but I think he saw some portraits of
50:48
young Damon and was like yes like he heard about him
50:53
slaughtering all those people when he was like the head of the
50:56
gold cloaks and he was like yes that is the energy.
50:59
I need to become king. My I called yeah literally Yeah,
51:07
that Damon is definitely his inspiration, I just also love
51:12
his stairs, he tries to blend in there's one scene where he wears
51:16
like a hood around town and he supposed to be in Disguise and
51:19
everyone's, like, I know it's you scary guy.
51:22
Like stay away from me. Gary guy with the eye patch so
51:28
many people. Yeah.
51:30
Yes, he always looks ready for a fight like all his clothes.
51:33
Look, like some sort of armor. Like his brother who just looks
51:39
like the spoiled wealthy brat that he is.
51:43
He's very much Joffrey and yes very much.
51:47
So yeah. Like spoiled like drunk all the
51:53
time. Yeah.
51:54
Just like frappe frat boy energy.
51:57
Yeah, it's weird. He like has a weird moment right
52:00
before he was crowned, King where he was like, I really
52:02
don't want this, and I was like, we're on the same page.
52:06
Like, let's let this man go. Yeah, I felt.
52:11
I felt so bad for him for a second.
52:13
Yeah, once we get to the coronation which we'll talk
52:16
about a little bit when he gets that sick-ass, you know, crown
52:19
and outfit and the big sword. He was like, okay I can't go
52:25
along with that, like, let's get real.
52:27
Honestly, I would have to, I would like, all right, like
52:30
let's start finding my sister. I guess we got to bring her to
52:34
Justice. The sister I married, but the
52:37
sister died. We need to have killed.
52:39
Yes, your half-sister /. Aunt, the only child of hers, I
52:48
do. Feel sorry for is the daughter
52:50
though, right? She's like, I just want to be
52:53
here and have my premonitions and like not be involved.
52:57
Sheikh is falling like Luna, Lovegood fun.
53:00
Yes, yes. I love her little speech.
53:05
Her a little speech. At the at the family dinner.
53:09
I'm like all. Okay, it was cute.
53:12
I bet Eugenie was thinking about Luna Lovegood when she was doing
53:15
her costume, is that you? Because like, they're all very,
53:19
they're all very simple. But they all have like something
53:23
a little bit interesting about them.
53:25
Whether it's like the texture or the jewelry, she was wearing,
53:29
there's always like a little something but it like it's still
53:31
all very simple like, she doesn't really care that much
53:35
about. Like uncharacteristically like
53:38
bright too? Yeah, because Team Green is like
53:41
very serious at this point, they're always looking like,
53:43
villains and then there's the one daughter who's, like, I'm
53:46
just happy to be here. That's like, what?
53:48
Where I see the connection between her and Luna.
53:51
Yeah, who's this guy? Oh, you don't want to talk about
53:56
the foot fetish guy, not really, but he's here.
54:00
So I guess so. Yeah.
54:06
Yeah hated him so much because he like he might be my most
54:11
hated her. Yeah, Laris and Otto are like
54:15
the two people responsible for manipulating Alison into her
54:20
thinking that aegon should be king like they are the two
54:23
people solely responsible for that.
54:26
Yeah. Yeah I also hate him too.
54:30
But his costume to me says like he's like a shady guy says that
54:35
in his costume. You always was wrapped in all
54:37
these layers and scarves and like, low-key Hood moments.
54:41
He's just like that. Shadowy figure, that you
54:43
shouldn't be speaking with, but then he wears like little bit
54:46
like sometimes brighter colors though.
54:48
To like almost throw you off your game but he's messy.
54:53
Don't don't talk to this guy, he's young.
54:59
Sometimes I feel bad for Allison just because she like I mean she
55:03
puts up with it because he's giving her information.
55:06
Action. But at the same time, I'm like,
55:09
ooh, yeah. Give me.
55:11
I feel bad that she's just so oblivious to what they're doing
55:15
to her. Yeah, I I feel bad for her.
55:19
I also don't know that she's a. I think she fully knows that she
55:22
fucked up. Yeah, her only direction is
55:25
going forward with this. I don't think she's enjoying it.
55:28
She just doesn't see a reality where she could specially.
55:31
Now that her son just turned her friend's son into a chicken
55:35
nugget. Like I bet you see the tooth
55:40
gets tired real fast. And be like, well shit.
55:42
Yeah, look at all of you all. And now we have to go to water
55:45
and she doesn't enjoy it. No, now, in her face to like,
55:50
she's constantly, like got that look in her eye where she's
55:53
like, like, how did I end up here like?
55:55
Yeah, she's like, looking back on it.
55:59
Her uncle insects rhaenyra was not the worst thing never know,
56:04
I could have handled that so Really.
56:06
Yeah. Well, we're near as ready to
56:10
handle her life differently when she finally gets married to
56:13
Damon the way. We all wanted this.
56:17
This guy Disturbed, man. Yes, but Jenny, and told dr.
56:27
Gracia lot about their wedding outfits.
56:32
She wanted both Damon Andrew Nero to be wearing this.
56:36
Same thing because she said I wanted the same for both because
56:41
I wanted them to be equal. She like also said about it,
56:46
that their wedding is an exchange of blood and very
56:50
barbaric and archaic way of getting married and I wanted
56:55
their robe disorder equal that. So she is like in this moment
57:00
they are equals and this like barbaric wedding tradition.
57:06
They're also both very happy, right?
57:10
I thought it was such a cool scene.
57:11
It felt very just like traditional the game back to
57:14
like the traditions of their house.
57:17
Reyne Justice. The colors on it are so
57:20
beautiful because they're so muted and depleted, but then
57:23
there's like that slight red blood color to it obsessed.
57:28
So yeah. I also love like, just the way
57:31
they like, they shot this scene and like the lighting in it, it
57:35
just like everything. Costumes at all like really
57:37
works together in your like this is creepy but kind of hot.
57:44
Yeah, I think is in creepier that they made all their kids
57:48
watch. Yeah.
57:49
All these confused children? They were all just like, please,
57:53
can we go home true? But like someone had to witness
57:57
the wedding and like nobody was friends with them at that
58:00
moment. So they literally just had Our
58:06
children, but this brings us to team black looking so good.
58:12
So good all the time. Yeah.
58:15
Emma DRC, who plays rhaenyra at this point?
58:19
I mean, an icon, they deserve an Emmy. 100%.
58:25
Yeah, most of the people in this cast deserve in any, what we're
58:30
gonna run out of, I mean, I love team black because it's funny.
58:36
They're called team black, but their costumes, they're like,
58:39
kind of edgy or a little bit more goth but they're also
58:43
something about reindeer as kids a little bit more, you know,
58:46
because they have a different father but they feel a lot more
58:50
bright and cheery and homely they give like Stark energy
58:53
actually to me. That's cuz she raised them to be
58:56
like, honorable people unlike alicent like she actually raise
59:00
them to care about. Yeah.
59:02
It's like they're dressed like the cool emo goth kids but
59:05
they're like Oh, most honorable nice people, you could hang out,
59:10
kids are really afraid of and then like you trip down the
59:13
stairs on my the first people to come help you like parental
59:20
affection and like love. Yeah, that Queen alicent and
59:25
viserys didn't really give to their kid runs, right?
59:28
No. They that is very true even
59:32
demons daughters. He like, You might not have been
59:37
like in love with their mom but like he really cares about them.
59:40
Yeah. I feel like he was as in love
59:43
with their mom as he could be. Yeah.
59:47
Like he definitely there's something there and I think he
59:49
was sad when she got Chris speed up by the dragon.
59:53
Yeah he could have dragged her away if the dragon hadn't and
59:57
that very moment. Like also like he also knew he
1:00:00
was gonna he was he was going to be fine, though.
1:00:03
Yeah, it's just And then house blacks, they combined with the
1:00:08
valyrians in the end to which I was so relieved about because I
1:00:12
need Ray. Nice on my team.
1:00:15
Yeah, she was very much like Switzerland for a while there.
1:00:22
She was until she put on that sick.
1:00:24
Armor and got on the dragon. Hmm.
1:00:28
Yeah, I think it's like, when that night breaks her owl, it's
1:00:32
when she starts to like, really think like, okay.
1:00:36
Maybe maybe them being in charge is not a good idea, if like one
1:00:40
of their nights is turning against them.
1:00:43
Yeah. But I do love how they just kind
1:00:46
of consolidate and like just really have a cohesive look
1:00:51
between all of them especially with the daughters getting
1:00:54
engaged to Rainier as Sons. They go from like the Valerian
1:00:59
blue to like the black and red of the targaryens and I'm like,
1:01:04
yes, cohesion. I like it messy, which
1:01:08
technically they're all supposed to be valyrians, we tend to
1:01:11
forget. Yeah, they're just like some
1:01:14
random houses Sons. Yeah, so good.
1:01:19
I love all them. I love to use of like all the
1:01:21
black but then all the red accents.
1:01:23
The I love their continuity between all their costumes.
1:01:26
They're really experts at this. They definitely are.
1:01:30
I especially like this last number from rainey's the lake
1:01:35
black. Quilted velvet with like the
1:01:39
leather and like the metal detail.
1:01:42
It's like, it's so like, she's like I'm ready for this war.
1:01:47
She's not saying anything, but could see on her face.
1:01:50
She's like, pick me. Pick me.
1:01:51
Pick me. I'm like fully pissed at this
1:01:56
point. It's like, she's like, I
1:01:59
couldn't be Queen, but damn it. You're going to be Queen.
1:02:03
Yeah, it will not be Alison. Speaking of her badass armor
1:02:10
Ginny have a lot of fun with it. She told a grassy a I wanted
1:02:16
something powerful but feminine I had two female armor moments
1:02:21
that were important. The first one is the one of Rhea
1:02:25
who is Damon's wife that was killed and she was in a leather
1:02:29
breastplate and they nieces armor is much stronger because
1:02:35
rainey's is Much bigger and stronger character.
1:02:39
I wanted to give her a more important armor and I needed the
1:02:43
shoulder for the cape. I think that the armor was very
1:02:47
successful, but they're not so heavy because they're made with
1:02:51
plastic. So it's not worse than wearing a
1:02:54
corset, for instance. Can you believe that's plastic?
1:02:59
That's crazy. Yeah, that's crazy for a nice is
1:03:04
armor. I mean, when I saw her, On that
1:03:06
Dragon. I was I Elizabeth you and I were
1:03:09
on Zoom when we were watching this by was muted, so you can't
1:03:11
hear me. But I was like, fully freaking
1:03:13
out the entire episode because I was like, please don't kill her
1:03:16
knees, please don't kill very nice.
1:03:18
She smashes on that armor and I gave like the biggest high pitch
1:03:21
scream. I was just happy.
1:03:24
She looks so cool. Yeah she looks frickin sweet.
1:03:29
She does. And it's such a like dang things
1:03:32
are about to go down moment like it was the perfect.
1:03:36
The end the episode and she looked perfect for it.
1:03:39
Yeah. She just looks at him running,
1:03:41
gives them like the look like you fucked up, but you're going
1:03:46
to live to see another day, unfortunately for you.
1:03:50
Yeah, that moment was like the perfect way to end that episode
1:03:53
and with that all we have at the end is a king and a queen.
1:03:59
Who's gonna win? Who's going to win?
1:04:02
We all know it's rhaenyra probably but I feel like there's
1:04:06
gonna be no winners. Actually probably always others,
1:04:10
but the history books. But yeah, sorry about these
1:04:17
coronation looks. Let's start with the guy.
1:04:20
We don't like first which is aegon, I will say aegon's final
1:04:25
look with that thick black Crown.
1:04:27
This is what I want for my coronation so I gotta I gotta
1:04:32
give it to him. It was a good good luck, there's
1:04:34
no no Chris. Mind.
1:04:36
Why all of a sudden he's like I guess I could be king.
1:04:38
I look. Yeah that's killer right now.
1:04:40
He looks he looks so good in that moment.
1:04:45
I like that. It's that like gray black like
1:04:48
gunmetal color. Yeah like not fully black but
1:04:52
it's almost there. It reminds me of Dragonstone
1:04:55
which is like part of the whole facade isn't it?
1:04:58
Like I'm Targaryen and I okay yeah your mom didn't manipulate.
1:05:06
You let you into being a Hightower sure.
1:05:10
But I honestly, I gotta say I think I like Ranier has look
1:05:14
more cuz it's just it's much more Regal and like more.
1:05:20
What you would imagine somebody would wear to their coronation.
1:05:24
Like, his is scary. Hers is like soft.
1:05:28
But strong love that little like like yes she's in mourning for
1:05:33
her child but she's got this great velvet.
1:05:36
Red velvet like neck coming up the gold of her father's Crown
1:05:41
matches the gold of her like Fasteners, it's so perfect.
1:05:46
Yeah, that crown came out perfect moment because her look
1:05:48
was ready for it. Hmm, didn't she were didn't it?
1:05:52
Come like, wow, they were cremating her child.
1:05:55
Yeah, we're at the funeral. It was a very weird funeral for
1:06:04
everyone who is present. Yeah.
1:06:07
Everyone was like, okay I guess this is happening.
1:06:10
Now I don't know how to feel with that.
1:06:16
This brings us to the end of House of the Dragon season 1.
1:06:19
And now we begin the long wait for season 2 which will be like
1:06:22
20 20 years for at the early earliest.
1:06:27
I don't play oof I'm like I'd be shocked if they got it out next
1:06:32
year. Very happy.
1:06:34
That's so shocked that like yeah.
1:06:35
No way, it's gonna be like two years.
1:06:37
I'm not happy about it, but I think I saw an interview dollar
1:06:41
day for my HBO. Exact, you said, like, hopefully
1:06:44
2024, like it doesn't like it's gonna be like 24. 25 just need
1:06:49
to haul all of our Productions till we don't need you for you,
1:06:56
we don't need whatever. Excellent documentary series.
1:07:02
They were planning on. Yeah, I can't wait.
1:07:08
I really hope Junie does the second season.
1:07:11
Oh yeah. I feel like she's I feel like
1:07:13
she's going to and all the interview she was like I loved
1:07:15
working on this. Yeah.
1:07:17
I mean this is an incredible project for her and honestly I
1:07:21
think she's definitely gonna be nominated for an Emmy for
1:07:25
costume design. No question.
1:07:26
Oh yeah. If not when like we've had a lot
1:07:30
of good ones this year but I was like having to design for so
1:07:34
many main Actors like the amount of times they switch actors like
1:07:41
dang. Yeah, honestly, it's going to
1:07:44
come down and fantasy. I think it's going to come down
1:07:46
to Ginny and Kate Holly four rings of power and it's always
1:07:51
the winner is going to be. Whoever has the strongest
1:07:53
marketing campaign with all that Amazon, or HBO money.
1:07:56
Like that's who the winner will be.
1:07:59
It's our own real-life version of House of the Dragon.
1:08:07
First time, first time ever, there's a tie.
1:08:11
Yeah, let's just not even talk about it.
1:08:12
I don't want to think about this, horrible scenario, that's
1:08:15
a it's stressful, thinking about that, with all that being said,
1:08:21
are you ready to play our favorite game?
1:08:23
I don't know what I mean to say. Okay, we have time, we have all
1:08:27
the time in the world, Hit It. Daniel the one costume to rule
1:08:34
them all. I guess I'll go first.
1:08:40
Since I seem to be the only one ready?
1:08:42
Yeah. Well Elizabeth and Emily is
1:08:45
still thinking about it. My one costume rule, them all
1:08:48
was Ray nieces armor when she smashes out of the floor with
1:08:52
the dragon. Yes.
1:08:54
Like, I knew in that moment, it was like, oh my God, she's
1:08:56
alive. Also, I found my one costume to
1:08:58
rule them all. Like, there's a lot of emotions
1:09:00
happening. It's just so badass and I love
1:09:03
that. The armor works with her
1:09:05
sickening hairdo. Also, you could Say whatever you
1:09:09
want about the Whigs of the show but Ray nieces is just laid
1:09:13
perfectly. Yeah she's just, I love that
1:09:16
costume. I can't think of a second place
1:09:18
for me. It's all about Ray nieces armor.
1:09:21
Oh, I'm so I'm so conflicted, but I have to say, I think my
1:09:27
one costume to rule them all. Is Rainier is investiture
1:09:32
costume. Okay.
1:09:33
Yeah, red dress, the cloak, the headpiece, the earrings.
1:09:38
Yeah. It all comes together.
1:09:40
It's her stepping into like the role.
1:09:43
She's gonna put first for the rest of her life and it's kind
1:09:49
of like the iconic look, we all already knew was coming like
1:09:54
Yeah, that was what they advertised with because they
1:09:56
were like yes, this is like an important moment.
1:09:59
It's where she makes. It's on all the Billboards in
1:10:02
Los Angeles right now. Yes.
1:10:04
It's where she makes her ultimate Choice.
1:10:07
Gotta say though her her first wedding dress.
1:10:15
Everybody just you know in general I'm not good with names
1:10:19
and this Seasoning House of dragon just destroyed my
1:10:23
ability. You to recognize it snake.
1:10:26
Like Spencer can tell you like I don't know how many times Daniel
1:10:30
has had a cutout me like mispronouncing.
1:10:33
A name are giving someone the wrong name.
1:10:39
I'm listening to the audiobook right now and keeping track of
1:10:43
like everyone. I've been listening to it while
1:10:45
I'm driving and keeping track of everyone's names as well to the
1:10:50
history is like A task. I can't imagine who I shouldn't
1:10:55
difficult. Yeah, I should get the audio
1:10:58
book. Don't tempt me.
1:11:02
Sorry. Alright, Emily, what is your one
1:11:06
costume to rule them all? This is the moment, this is the
1:11:09
moment. So actually was deciding between
1:11:11
three but you guys toes, okay? And then the third was Damon's
1:11:19
armor How did none of us pick Damon?
1:11:23
Yeah. That's a good one.
1:11:25
Yeah, right. I just it's because he wears
1:11:29
several different armor looks but they're like all just
1:11:32
slightly different from one another and I don't know, I feel
1:11:36
like I feel like I might have to go with that one.
1:11:38
I love your guys choices too though, right?
1:11:42
And runner-up, Allison's wedding.
1:11:45
Look that we didn't get all right.
1:11:48
Yeah, back of my head that was such a Slave Oh man, HBO or
1:11:54
maybe watch that guy with the fee.
1:11:56
I'm so mad at the DVDs are out like I'm not joking.
1:12:01
Like HP is my money because I need to see that wedding scene.
1:12:05
Yeah, so good. That was probably I would have
1:12:08
added so much to Manatee Humanity through a character.
1:12:11
I think it would have. And I have to say, like, I love
1:12:14
this season. It was perfect.
1:12:16
I wish they had taken more time because I'm like a lot of what
1:12:21
they just, Tipped over. I think would have explained a
1:12:23
lot about alicent and Rainier is like relationship.
1:12:28
And I think they could have like held off on eating them all up a
1:12:33
bit longer. Yeah.
1:12:34
It could have been a little bit slower.
1:12:36
Yeah, yeah. Because then we could have got
1:12:40
more of Damon's wife really blanket.
1:12:46
First place like which one Second wife, he smashed in the
1:12:54
head with a rock or the one got Chris speed by a dragon.
1:12:59
We all see that scene? We're still like, yes, he's
1:13:01
gonna be a great husband for rhaenyra.
1:13:06
When he likes starts to choke out rhaenyra and the finale
1:13:09
never looks like we're like, what is this Behavior?
1:13:23
Why you like Damon so much? I certainly a.m.
1:13:26
I'm currently doing that. My problem was concerning me.
1:13:30
Is I really actually like amund to like oh that is concerning.
1:13:39
So it's not uncommon. I've heard this from quite a few
1:13:42
people now. Yeah, I've heard it.
1:13:45
I mean he's clearly like off his rocker but at the same time, The
1:13:51
same time. You're like, I like it.
