Will and Phoenix from “Tales from the Waystone” podcast join me to talk about Simmon, a budding alchemist and a wonderful friend.
We celebrate his kindness and I draw Phoenix into the dark side of “future-casting” about Book Three. We talk about the sandy-haired man who comes to the Waystone in the frame, a possible falling out between Kvothe and Sim (and K’s possible guilt), Kvothe dropping the ball on reciprocating Wil and Sim’s friendship, and the possibility of Sim not being heterosexual.
I also plug the 1964 movie “Becket,” an incredible study in how to make a close male friendship seem fruity. And yet again I decry the portrayal of some LGBT+ folks in this series. Will educates me on Samwell Tarly of “Game of Thrones” and compares him to Simmon. The Dalonir family and the Duke of Gibea lead us into a discussion on the Amyr. Somehow, Max Rebo and his “jizz band” make it in. Will drops a “Fight Club”-related theory I’ve never heard before…and much, much more!
Enjoy!
