I chose the trailer to share by coin flip - just in case you think I'm partial. 🟢🐉⚫ June 16th! We'll have a preview cast out the week before and Instant pods for each new episode!
Most common complaint in negative reviews is that

is "unnecessary." Yeah, so's the cherry on top of a sundae, but I'll take one every time, thank you very much.
Today is our 10th Anniversary! From the entire Bald Move family, we want to say thank you to all of our fans for making this possible; here's to another 10 years together! 🍾🍻
Bald Move was launched 13 years ago today. Happy birthday, Bald Move. You were born out of love and friendship and somehow winded up being a career, and our lives have never been the same.
🎉📣🎉50 MILLION DOWNLOADS?!?! 📣🎉📣
We're incredibly grateful to you, our fans, and we'd like to celebrate with a very special Q&A podcast! Post your Q's in the replies below and we'll give you our A's when we record next week!
Okay, figured it out. Dany hadn't eaten for days prior to this episode. Plain and simple, our girl was HANGRY. Heard those bells? She's thinking Taco Bell, and just had to

Sometimes I miss the forest for the trees. For example, when someone asks in email, "would Rhaegar's annulment make Dany a bastard?" I spend an hour browsing legal and religious thought on annulments, instead of thinking, "Yo, Dany isn't Rhaegar's child." Mea culpa! - A.Ron
That's right, we're spending the rest of summer re-watching

season three! Like years past, we're going to be doing our best to keep spoilers for future episodes and seasons out of the main podcast, so if this is your first time through you'll be safe! Can't wait!
Huge thanks to everybody that listens, and especially likes, reviews, and shares! Y'all consistently have us punching wayyyyy above our weight class, it's crazy.
Time to have a family discussion about “The Bells”. We’re all up in arms about it and we can’t agree if it’s the best or the worst episode ever. It’s notoriously hard to be objective about a subjective opinion.

We're postponing our ST:TNG watch party because now's not the time. Hope we can get back to regularly scheduled fun soon. Right now our family is heading downtown Cincinnati to peacefully protest against police brutality.
So excited to see what Jim and everybody else thinks of the premiere of HOTD tonight! Check out this sick new cover art by Chase Stone! We'll be live ~10:15PM EST to talk about the show tonight with our Club Members, the Instant Talk recording will be released immediately after.
Pictured here are two exhausted, proud, and very happy guys who just raised $20,020 (and counting) for

Lord A.Ron's exploits before donning the white cloak are legendary. Chief among them, bringing the Wet Bandits to the King's justice. Those Ssifty second sons of hedge knights had ransacked many a great house before meeting their doom at McCallister's keep. Happy Halloween!

release format. First three episodes on week one, one per the following weeks! I'm pretty sure that means we'll be able to give it the full episode by episode coverage this year!
I think the first episode of HOTD will easily rope curious fans back in after the rocky finish of GOT. I think they've earned a season of fans' continued loyalty, if they deliver on the promise of the 1st episode I saw for the whole of this season, watch out, cause ASOIAF's back!
We had a surprise fire drill in the middle of recording this week. (Don't worry, there is no sound; but as you can tell, it was LOUD and surprising). Please add this to your reaction gif folder promptly:
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from our families to yours. Can't wait to get back to work next week and get started on the 2017 Baldies and plan another great year of content. Thanks for all of the love and support you've shown us! -- A.Ron
Here's something I think I can say to stir the pot until 8/21. There is something in the premiere episode of HOTD that would be considered high ASOIAF heresy were it not the active involvement and blessing of GRRM. I'm very curious what the theorycrafters will do with it.
Hey everybody, I (A.Ron) wrote a book, and you can pre-order it now! If you're a fan of Bald Move and

An exciting development for Jim-ologists: I came into the office today to find him fluffing a Christmas tree, completely unbidden! Has he, against all odds, been struck by the holiday spirit?!
We've been hot and cold on WESTWORLD, but I'll never forget the experience of watching season 1. And even at it's narrative worst, it remained gorgeous and thought provoking.

We come here to say goodbye to Game of Thrones. While we're still going to get HBO's numerous prequels, sequels, and spin-offs, we're not going to get any more of this particular take on the story.

Not to be outdone, Cecily and A.Ron will be starting 'Mikkel Me This: A Dark Podcast'. 🤣😂 Coming soon to a Bald Move TV podcast near you. Maybe. Probably. Maybe.
If you loved the intrigue of GoT, if you have a passing interest in sci-fi, if you have Amazon Prime... and you're still sleeping on this show... time to stop hitting snooze! Easily the thing I'm most excited for this year. And yes, we're doing episode by episode coverage for S5.

I was prepping for our Groundhog Day Marathon wrap up podcast this morning, and our actual total raised accounting for merch, bits, subs, and donos coming in after the marathon is $24,593!!! 🤯 Which puts the lifetime Groundhog charitable giving to $100,361! You guys!!!
Appreciate all the love we've been getting lately. We don't always acknowledge it for reasons of time constraints and good ol' midwestern modesty, but we do very much appreciate it! It's felt real nice and cozy these past few months...
We just concluded our 24 hour Groundhog Day marathon, to raise money for the

Your officially unofficial preview for HOUSE OF THE DRAGON! What's going on in Westeros as the series starts? How are the major players? And how are we going about covering this beast? Answers await you here:

THANK YOU FOR MAKING OUR GROUNDHOG DAY MARATHON A SUCCESS! We raised $22,025.70 in cash donations and at least another $1k in bits, subs, & merch! We easily beat our previous record! Bald Move Community lifetime funds raised is over $98k! I'm thrilled for us and

For the next few months we're temporarily downsizing the studio to Jim's basement while we shop around for a larger, permanent space. It's pretty cramped, but it feels like a throw back to earlier eras of Bald Move.
#BaldMoveInExile
Happy Throwback Thanksgiving! I think this was from about five years ago? Lots of things have changed since then, but one thing always remains; Jim and I are forever thankful to all our listeners, fans, and Club members around the world who make Bald Move possible. Love you all!
