Summary

Jason and Greta break down the second episode of the series, where Dunk prepares to join the tourney and honor Ser Arlan’s legacy. They talk with Ser Duncan himself, Peter Claffey, about joining the world of Game of Thrones, playing one of the smallfolk in Westeros, and he addresses the ever important question: is his character a “himbo”? Then, Jason and Greta talk to Dr. Hugh Doherty, the show’s Medievalist Consultant, to learn what knighthood meant in medieval times and if he would ever want to be a knight himself.
