Amazon's new show The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (2022) is the most expensive show in television history. But how much good story can money really buy? Why didn't Daniel and James finish watching it? More importantly, why didn't Amazon simply give Daniel and James some of the money they spent on this production? The two hosts certainly need it: hosting a podcast does not guarantee opulence, as it turns out. Also included in the beginning is banter about the new Super Mario Bros. movie teaser from Illumination Entertainment. God help us all.

The review begins at 9:55.

Spoiler Review begins at 34:05.
