The Cast Beyond the Wall dives into the series premiere of The House of the Dragon, "Heirs of the Dragon." Hosts Caleb Masters and Daniel Stull are rejoined by award-winning Oklahoma Filmmaker, Laron Chapman, to provide their initial reviews of the season's first episode before providing a breakdown of the story and theories about what might be in store over the remaining nine episodes.
