Greetings, and welcome to House of R, a Ringerverse podcast on the Ringer Podcast Network. I'm Mallory Rubin. Joining me today, you should know, she's the clever one, Manderly. It's Joanna Robinson. Hello, my darling. Hello, my dearest. I'm so excited. This is my favorite thing to do. Same. Talk to you about Thrones. Same. What a joy. What a delight. I'm absolutely thrilled to be here with you today. Thrilled to have the bad babies with us. We are here to dive deep, deep, deep, deep into somehow already the fourth episode. What the fuck? Somehow already halfway through the season. Of season three of House of the Dragon, and we're going to get to it right after this. We are thrilled to share that the Ringiverse team, the Midnight Boys Pew Pew, and the House of R will be returning to San Diego Comic-Con this July.
We're kicking off on Thursday, July 23rd at Whiskey Girl for a Ringiverse fan meetup. No badge required. We'll be there for an hour or so starting around 6.30, so come say hi, grab a drink, celebrate with us. And then on Saturday, July 25th at 10.30 a.m., come to our panel. Comic-Con badge holders can find the Midnight Boys pew-pew in the House of R. Correct. In room 5AB on the upper level of the convention center for a Ringiverse Supergroup panel. We're going to be discussing the franchises that have dominated nerd culture this year and taken stock of what's to come. So whether you're local to San Diego or in town for Comic-Con, we'd love to see you at Whiskey Girl on Thursday. Or if you're a badge holder, join us on Saturday, July 25th for our panel.
See you in San Diego.
Okay, here's what we're actually getting to. Programming reminders. Couple updates. This podcast is coming to you a day later than usual. Thank you for your patience. I have been, to quote Logan Roy, incredibly unwell. I still am. Not contagious, but I'm going to do my absolute best today. Had to push one day. Very sorry. The ripple effect of that is that we are not doing the Oppenheimer pod today as we were supposed to. When will we do that? Guess what? Not before the Odyssey now.
Mm-hmm.
We are just leaning into the nonlinear storytelling. This is how Christopher Nolan would want it. As fully as we possibly can. We love a bit. We love a bit here. But I do think it will be really interesting to talk about Oppenheimer in the wake of Odyssey. You and I had talked about this as soon as we got out of our first screening of it. We were just sort of like, wow, Oppenheimer. Yes. On the mind. Both from the storytelling perspective and then I think actually to come back with a period of time where more people have gotten to see Odyssey. And we can also just talk about the Uthra story. And, like, where do—because, hey, I don't know if y'all have heard, Oppenheimer won Best Picture, won all the Oscars.
So, like, you know, now that we've seen another masterwork. Hmm. Where does it rank? Where does it all rank? Where does it rank? We love a list. Is this all just a long con to have more time to figure out our personal power rankings? Who can say? Who's to say? Who's to say? We will be potting about the Odyssey in just a couple days. We are very, very, very excited. I could not be more excited. This is like, I know I just said this is my favorite thing, which is true, talking about Thrones with you, but like talking about the Odyssey. I would say there's a dash of our Thrones in the Odyssey. Oh, more than a dash. A healthy pour, I would say. A very healthy pour. We will, of course. Who's a reliable narrator? That's the theme.
Incest was the theme of the summer. Now I'm pivoting to who's telling the story and do we believe them? I don't know if you can pivot. I think you have to hold that all at once because we're probably not done with incest. Let's just be honest about it. Okay. Speaking of, we will be back for Talk of the Thrones on Sunday night for episode five of House of the Dragon. CR will be back. The question is, will you be giving back your Oakland A's hat? Will you be giving back recap duties? Your Oakland A's hat. Do you think Ciara's going to walk in and say, bring Aegon, the usurper, to me?
