What unusual event is happening on IMDb?
This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz Podcast.
So something really weird slash stupid is happening on IMDb. Dave, you know what IMDb is? Sure I do. Greg, you know what IMDb is? I don't know what it stands for, but it's something to do with film. Internet Movie Database. Oh, I thought it's international. It's the internet? Oh, yeah, you may be right. It's internet. Okay. But you see how I believed in you, Dave, that I thought immediately that I must be wrong and you must be right. I believed in you. It's international. Yeah, I think it's international.
International movie or internet? It was internet. Wow.
Oh, so Dave is right. Yes. There you go.
The guy who lives in Hollywood is right. The guy who lives in Hollywood, Florida is wrong.
Wow. Okay. Learn something new every day.
Grew up in Hollywood, Florida.
Internet Movie Database.
You were going to be condescending to him.
No, I was giving him a comment that I believed him right away, and my instincts were correct to believe that he was right and I was wrong. My instincts were right. I get credit. Props to Zaslow. Kingpin. So something really stupid is happening on the Internet Movie Database. between two fan bases of shows. You ready for this, Greg? So a new show that I have been watching, which just wrapped up a couple days ago, is a Game of Thrones spinoff, a prequel, if you will, called A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, which, oh my God, what a show. Love it. What a show. I loved it from the get-go. I mean, come on.
I didn't know what I was getting into.
Me neither.
Game of Thrones prequel. Right. And I was like, okay, let's see what this one's about. You thought it would be similar to House of Dragons. House of Dragons, which I thought was okay.
Well, first season House of Dragons is really good.
I thought it was okay. I thought it was okay. So I turned this on with the same kind of expectation.
Yeah.
And like the first scene ends with the guy taking a dump by the tree right in the middle of the credits.
And they do the fake out of the opening credits.
And so I'm like, are they trying to be funny? And then by episode two, I realized, oh, they're trying and succeeding.
They're trying to be funny, and this show's got some heart, and it's gonna make you feel good, and it's a tremendous show. And so it just wrapped up the first season, six or seven episodes, I think six episodes, a couple of nights ago, and it's a great, great season. If you're a fan of Game of Thrones, you should watch it, but it's a completely different tone from Game of Thrones. And I think it was episode four, maybe, four or five for Night of the Seven Kingdoms, that on the internet movie database. It's five. Episode five.
It's the just one.
On the internet movie database, it was immediately scored a perfect 10.0. And it's a great episode. It's really, really great. It deserves a 10.0. It was given a 10.0. And then... Breaking Bad fans, who of course very famously, the episode Ozymandias, spoiler alert, if you haven't watched Breaking Bad, Ozymandias is the one where Hank meets his fate.
Just say it's the best one. I said spoiler alert. You can just say it's the best. It got a 10, a perfect 10. I don't need anything extra.
What new show is being discussed and what are the first impressions?
You don't need to explain what happened in the episode. You're allowed to talk about what happened.
It's when Hank picks up the book and he sees the name Walter White. I mean, you're allowed to bring up what happened in Breaking Bad at this point.
It was so long ago. It's 2026, man. Come on, Dan. It's irrelevant to his story. Okay. It's like me saying, spoiler alert, the U.S. won the gold medal.
That one, that's a little too fresh. We're not even a week out.
So, Ozymandias, originally, very famously, on the Internet Movie Database, got a 10.0. Also, well-deserved. Well, apparently, the Breaking Bad fans are mad that another show, in this case, Night of the Seven Kingdoms, received a 10.0. And what happens when you're mad about another show's score is... you have to spam the rating on imdb.com. I mean, can you explain what that means?
Yes, so basically whether it's manually or via bots, they have gone in and actively one-star voted this episode that is a great episode just to reduce its overall average so that their favorite episode of their favorite show
