Straight Up Hollywood podcast: We deliver details from 'Game of Thrones' premiere, party

Relax, fans. After more than a year, Game of Thrones is back.

On this week's Straight Up Hollywood podcast, USA TODAY's Bill Keveney (@billkev) and Diana Kruzman (@DKruzman) offer details of HBO's splashy Season 7 premiere from the red carpet (actually blue, to keep with the GOT winter theme despite 80-degree Hollywood weather).

They dish on the cast interviews, a pre-screening Thrones concert and an open-air after-party featuring an Iron Throne sculpture and a dance floor map of Westeros.

TV reporter Keveney also shares actors' perspectives on the series, which only has 13 episodes left, and provides a quick reminder of where we left Jon, Dany, Cersei and Sansa — and where they all may be headed.

All those premiere party sculptures of the Night's King should provide a hint of the action when the new season opens Sunday on HBO (9 ET/PT).

In addition, entertainment reporter Carly Mallenbaum (@ThatGirlCarly) discusses her interview with Lily Collins, who stars in the new Netflix film, To the Bone.

Collins brings special knowledge to the role of a woman struggling with anorexia, as she has had her own experience with an eating disorder.

Finally, the panel analyzes Thursday's Emmy nominations, assessing winners, big-name nominees and the always interesting snubs.

Enjoy the podcast — or two — regardless of the temperature.
