BBFC Podcast G.O.T

Age Rating:

One of the biggest classification issues. For example strong language, nudity and sexual references, very graphic violence. Most of the episodes are rated 15 and 13 are classified to ages of 18.

- Lack of dwelling on pain/inflicting

Mountain and Viper:
- Most violent scene
- Was an 18 as they were very strong and gory images

Battle of the bastards:
- Medieval War violence
- Bloody violence, bodily organs, pushing organs inside
- Rated 18
