• 'House of the Dragon' Salt and Sea, Fire and Air Slay-by-Slay
    Jun 24 2026

    Summary: Welcome back to Westeros on Femme & Furious. We are hopping onto dragonback, eating charred sheep, and upgrading foot fetishes for mother/son incest in this epic, long-awaited season premiere of House of the Dragon Season 3. In this episode of the podcast, we are diving into autonomy, the patriarchy (aka all of Westeros), the way women need to grab at power, and what the vow for the mother actually means in this world as we prepare for the true Dance of the Dragons and cope with the harrowing aftermath of The Battle of the Gullet.
