Films Get Fingered – Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

In the midst of our end of season break, the Fingers missed each other.  What better way to cure our aches then to discuss Rogue One together, and release our musings to you guys just for funsies!  We had a blast doing it and brought as much fun as we three Fingers can bring.  We hope you enjoy!
Note:  there is pretty close to zero ASOIAF talk in this episode.  It’s all Star Wars, all the time.  So if you only want to hear our voices talk ASOIAF, move along, and we’re sorry for taking up space on whatever device may have automatically downloaded this content.
We’ll be back in just under a month’s time with fresh analysis of everyone’s favorite series as we cover Feast/Dance together.  Can’t wait!

Davos' Fingers Learn to Write: It Is Wolves I Mean To Hunt - The Motivations of the Red Wedding Conspirators

The Red Wedding ripped our hearts out, played tennis with them, ground them up into mush, then fed them to rabid animals. And that was just after the first time we read it. After the pain dulls to a low throb and we get our bearings back, we start to wonder how all the moving pieces of the Red Wedding conspiracy fit together; who planned what? Who talked to whom first? Why did so-and-so agree to it? From Tywin Lannister to Roose Bolton to Sybelle Spicer to Walder Effin' Frey himself, the web of conspiracy is twisted and complicated. It was these questions and more that Matt set out to answer a few months back in the first ever written Davos' Fingers essay, "It Is Wolves I Mean To Hunt: The Motivations of the Red Wedding Conspirators". Now, due to popular demand, we present this audio narration of Matt's essay. Oh, and did we mention that this recording includes the voice talents of all three Fingers? You won't want to miss Scad as Roose Bolton or Brooke as Fat Walda!

Episode 050: Smearing ASoS all over the place

It's time for a wrap up episode!  Episode 50 of Davos Fingers brings you our final thoughts on A Storm of Swords.
As usual, our wrap up episode features some Trivia.  Can you beat us at our own game.  Listen in, see if you know more than the Fingers, then let us know through whatever social media bragging post is your favorite!  Three Fingers enter, one Finger leaves...eww....
Another segment interspersed throughout the episode is a series of Top 5 lists provided by our listeners.  Everything from favorite sigil, to favorite sidekick, to favorite ASOIAF meals (and more!) is covered.  You have a better Top 5?  Let us know!
And in an attempt at a completely new segment, the Fingers are (more or less) proud to present the Red Wedding Reacharound!  Listen as we walk through the Red Wedding interspersing thoughts, feelings, quotes, and even drunken songs from three Westerosi characters that we just don't get enough of in the series.
Warning!  Spoilers lurk here.  We didn't constrain ourselves on the top 5 lists or in speculation during various points of this recording.  If you want to stay at our pace, stay away from this wrap up episode.
Lastly, the Fingers will be taking a break after this recording.  Due to the timing of this book finishing and where Holidays fall and whatnot, another episode for Davos' Fingers won't drop until January 16th!  This might be the perfect time to embark on that re-listening project you've been considering. HAR HAR.
Chapters Covered:  All or none.  Everything is in bounds here.
