Want a Game of Thrones Season 6 Screener? Just Become President.

When asked how Obama got a screener when no journalists could, show runners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss essentially told the Hollywood Reporter ‘How can we say no to the POTUS?’

“He’s the leader of the free world,” Weiss reasoned, with Benioff adding, “When the commander-in-chief says ‘I want to see advanced episodes,’ what are you going to do?”

Obama aside, if you’re hoping for a bootleg link, you’re going to have to work a bit harder; since the first few episodes of last season leaked last year, HBO has locked George R.R. Martin’s fantastical kingdom up tight.
