Essential listening. Always entertaining and informative! Thanks.

A perfect mix of humor and serious analysis. It’s the place to hear what people think about the episodes each week. A must follow.

Funny, informative, inclusive. These guys (and girls) keep it real.

Love Ross and Barrett!

Put the word out. HOTD2 LFG!!!

Ross and Barrett are my go to pod for shows. Fun and hilarious listen!

Funny and digestible watcher-companion pod. Super helpful for recapping easy to miss (but important!) deets of the show.

Great Chemistry and wit! Great for casuals and die hards each!

Been listening for years now, great podcast!

Great Monday listen after Sunday episodes. Been here since early GOT days and won’t be leaving.

Long time listener of OCC, and I genuinely can’t wait to listen to all of their stuff. It feels like I’m hanging out with my buddies just cutting up and dissecting a show. Best senses of humor, great insight, and I’ve become a smarter tv/movie fan since listening. They’ve also gotten me to watch amazing shows that I wouldn’t have watched otherwise without their recommendation. Cannot recommend more

They OCC crew always delivers! Love this show and eagerly await new episode drops. Nobody brings humor to the threaded topics like the Clam team.

This is such a great podcast to learn about the show, hear interesting takes and have a great laugh. Thinking about joining the mollusks militia here soon.

Look no further for the best house of the dragon companion podcast!

Always enjoy a listen to OCC even of some shows I don't watch! 😄

OCC is the best! Clam Fam for life 🤜🏻 House of the Dragon coverage is so good.

Ross and Barrett have great chemistry and really know their stuff when it comes to storytelling, character development, and TV in general. Whether they're breaking down the latest plot twists, diving into character arcs, or guessing what might happen next, they do so with a mix of humor and expertise that keeps listeners coming back for more!

Long time listener, really love the pod. Have enjoyed all of their GoT takes and recaps- Barrett and Ross do a great job of keeping it light and not taking themselves too seriously, while also really adding a lot to my watch. Love their patreon content, too! Keep doing what you’re doing!

Been a listen for awhile, they always keep it entertaining and great for no spoiler listens. I am down with the OCC

The best!

Just two chill dudes and easy listening. A show that doesn’t take itself too seriously. I’ve loved the show for years but they sold me as a lifelong listener when they pronounced Criston Cole the “Master of Simp”

Been listening since the early GOT days. At the time, I’d searched far and wide for a companion podcast. Every single one comes off holier than thou, is too know-it-all, or dives way too deep in the lore that sometimes the podcasts are harder to grasp than the episodes. OCC is a perfect mix of good takes, knowledgeable enough that they pick up on plenty that you missed, but aren’t absolute nerds about it. Shout out that boy Jace. Only downside is how hard Barrett rides for Jorah RIP

Been a long time listener and patreon subscriber, one of my all time favorite podcasts

I’ve been listening to OCC since the beginning, back when we were all trying to dissect R+A=J theories. Cannot recommend their great takes, insights into character motives, & general banter. Definitely a must listen!

Listening to this podcast is like having a conversation with two of your funniest friends over sure you just watched. Highly recommend.

Best GOT /HOTD companion podcast and good overall entertainment/television takes

I’ve been listening to OCC since the knights rewatch days. I love Ross and Barrett’s takes, opinions, and thorough knowledge of all things thrones! After listening to OCC for years, I also listen to all of the other Bolen medias shows (except banging the can, go dodgers) and really love everything Ross is doing. This is the best recap show for thrones out there. If I could rate the show 6 stars I would! #scorch

She was a hoooaahhh!! Best in the biz by a long-shot, I’m just here fulfilling my long overdue obligations as a listener.

Ross and Barrett are great

We ride for our mans!

…and listen to this podcast. Not just the best GoT/HoTD podcast, but the best tv/movie podcast. Clam fam!

Every time a new show comes out I give this podcast another try and every time I’m very quickly reminded why I don’t listen to it. No idea which voice is which person, but one of them seems absolutely confused by extremely simple mundane things and chooses to treat them like plot holes. Blood and cheese is a fantastic example. Cheese is a rat catcher seemingly doing his job, Blood on the other hand is a gold clock very much NOT doing his job. Cheese looking around the throne room isn’t a hilarious infuriating mistake to rag on the show for. The only one of them who would risk getting recognized as out of place is the one who was told to keep his head down. The tiniest leaps of logic seem to be impossible here on this podcast.

Ross and Barrett should be your go to HOTD pod!

How have I not written a review? I’ve been listening to OCC since Game of Thrones and keep coming back for more. Appreciate all the work these two do for us nerds! Can’t wait for the new episodes to come with House of the Dragon Season 2.

The intro music makes me want to pour acid in my ears. After that it’s all good.

This has to be money grab.These guys literally know nothing about this show Shogun. They don’t understand anything. They don’t know anyone’s names or motives of things. They say the watch the episodes multiple times but can’t remember character’s appearances in previous episodes. It is definitely not a good listen.

A Rhesus monkey has better takes than this guy. Cut him loose. Addendum: Barrett still stinks. Please can him. Dudley is clearly a generational talent but pairing him with Barrett is like giving Venus Williams a carrot instead of a racquet to play in Wimbledon.

Where do I begin. Hosts constantly mispronounce names of major protagonists, refers to a female character as a b____h, mistakenly refers to a consort character in multiple of their podcasts as a concubine (either too ill-informed to know the difference, too lazy to find out, or to dumb to even suspect there’s a difference). Sounds a bit misogynistic- look that word up, guys. Then there’s the embarrassing bit about completely missing out on a character who appears in an early episode, when one of the hosts announces that he was high when he watched the episode. And then having the gall to shout repeatedly he has know idea what is happening in the episode. This podcast got high ratings from people who: Are adolescent males or, People who don’t pay attention while they watch an episode, or Like the plots of shows to be simple & predictable, or Don’t mind wasting their time listening to a podcast

Guys covering tv shows they don’t even fully understand. Waste of time listening to.

Usually like the commentary but lately talk about being afraid of what people think geez guys!! What a different show this is compared to when it started. Cowering to the these overly offended people that you cant't please by any means is just sad. If I hear them say "sorry don't want to upset anyone" one more time, I'm going to go postal...just be who you are and say what you want to say. You are embarrassing yourselves as well as being unauthentic by censoring what you say and feel. Come on grow a pair .

Been a lister and Patreon member for years. These guys have an insightful and hilarious analysis on all our favorite shows, movies, etc. Shogun has captivated my household and we’re so happy they’re covering it, great work guys keep doin what you’re doin.

Simple recap of events of Shogun episodes. I was hoping for more critical analysis/discussion but just really summarizing the episode for an hour. One of the hosts seems rather confused about simple actions and events in the episode. Would appreciate more research and preparation. Entertaining guys but just looking for something different!

Natto is like eating rotten boogers collected and aged from your entire life’s worst illnesses. It is not good. On the level of squeezing out bad milk and eating it or like those really smelly canned fish videos. After eating it and having a room full of people laugh at the reaction I was told it’s only good if you’ve grown up eating it. (It was pretty funny) Five stars.

Yal should listen to the official f/x podcast they mostly only explain the cultural things and you could explain better I like you two tho nice voices

Provided a really great dive into Shogun. However, one of the people on the show said he was high while watching the show? I get it if you’re watching it for amusement, but to a subject matter expert and admitting to be high while your job is recapping the show was a bit odd. You also could tell he wasn’t in the know as the other host.

I like their taste in shows. They have a fun approach to how they recap the episodes. Give it a listen!

This podcast was super helpful in putting together all of the pieces of Night Country. I enjoyed listening to it!!

Great job on tv episode reviews. Love the Houston and Austin references.

This podcast is so fun… sometimes there’s not active tv seasons going (like now because the writers strike) but it’s still really entertaining and they always come up with topics!

Their awful opinions on how bad episode 3 (and season 8 in general) were so bad, I had to leave a one star review and unsubscribe. They were almost begging for an ending that is antithetical to everything Game of Thrones was about. Goodbye and good riddance.
