This week on Culture Bites podcast, hosts Farah Andrews and Maan Jalal give a roundup of House of the Dragon as season two ends. With eight episodes, it was already short, but the finale also left the hosts feeling short changed.
They review the show and discuss the challenges of adapting fantasy novels into TV series.
With the Olympics almost coming to a close, Farah and Maan uncover a lesser known aspect of the sporting event’s history. In staying true to the values of the original ancient Olympics, the event included fine art competitions alongside its sporting categories in the early 20th century. This included contests in literature, architecture and music, with the winners awarded medals the same as athletes.
Also, Farah noticed a recurrent quirk in Marvel films when she watched Deadpool & Wolverine at the weekend. What’s with the shawarma? She and Maan speculate on what this Easter egg could possibly mean, and how culturally familiar themes may not always be favourable.
