Show #39- A Three For One Castgasm Spectacular!

Hey 'cast fans, this week we are trying something new. We cover three shows and took way too long convincing Brian he was wrong.

Game of Thrones Podcast
Are Stannis and Melisandre, you know, hooking up?

It's been a long grueling wait, but HBO's Game of Thrones is finally back. Monolith tolerates a long discussion with BearTrap about episode 1 of season 2 on this podcast. Discussed: The continuing greatness of Dinklage, a long, drawn-out history of Davos, AKA the Onion Knight, Bear Trap's foray into geek excess at an advance screening of the episode, whether there is or is not anything up with Stannis and the red-haired witch, and we answer the question raised by Joffrey in this episode: Does the throne room need redecorating? Listen to this one.

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy Podcast: 34min
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier... hmm. Think I missed something.

John Le Carre is the writer who brought the spy novel up to the level of high art. The 2011 film adaptation of one of Le Carre's most famous novels? Not so much. But boy do they try, and prettily at that. The two resident dunderheads scratch their noggins in this 'Tinker, Tailor'-centric podcast. Discussed: acting, production design, setting, withholding, nervous breakdowns, Gary Oldman, Cumberbatch, the Cold War's "hard edge", the Cold War as "gentleman's game", and books and movies that make us feel dumb. No need to torrent this one. You can have it for free off iTunes.

Drive Podcast: 57min 16sec
Don't ever turn your back on Albert Brooks.

The hip, buzzy indie movie that had all the film nerds' hearts going pitter patter finally dropped into the Monolith's blu-ray player last weekend. The verdict? Find out on this podcast. Discussed: accurate RPM readings when a car is going a certain speed, what Christina Hendricks was doing in this movie, coincidence, the LA underworld, Jack Reacher, who walked away, and some things that would have been better. Get this and listen to it.
