Dune comes up often on our show and Ben has never read the books so we have the unique opportunity to talk about our thoughts of the Denis Villeneuve movie from two different perspectives. SPOILERS from both the movie and books abound. Be warned!

This week's guest, Adam Pranica of the podcast "The Greatest Generation," really doesn't know a whole lot about Lord of the Rings save for the one time he's seen the trilogy... so Jessica gets the idea to test Adam on his knowledge of the movies and lore based on his one viewing. The result? This episode of Podcast of the Rings. Enjoy!

Since Ben is a Bro Geek, it's only fitting that we honor the Big Game by drafting our own fantasy football team with LotR characters. Pitting two competitive extroverts against each other? What could go wrong.

The infamous animated Lord of the Rings movie by Ralph Bakshi... is unable to be described in a few short sentences. Ben and Jess even fail to describe it in a full episode, but darn it, we try.
Listen now as we unpack whatever that was that we just watched.

If you're still listening to our show after Jessica's Scouring of Sam, you've made it long enough to hear our episode on the TRUE villain of LotR, Saruman. And not only is he the real villain, the reveal of his true intention and imprisonment of Gandalf is one of the biggest betrayals in the book. Today, we talk about the first villain in the first tower, and the evil underlings that come along with him.
Oh, and we get on a tangent about Jason Momoa. --

We're back at it again in the white Vans! And it's all thanks to Ben Goddard, the OFFICIAL new co-host of PotR. Alex is continuing the indefinite break but Jess & Ben take the wheel and kick things off by dedicating an episode to each member of the fellowship, and then some. We start with teen heartthrob Legolas Greenleaf, because why wouldn't we start with the elf that shot an arrow straight through our heart? Enjoy!
It seems that the WGA Strike has also affected Middle Earth. Amazon has decided to continue with production without a writer's room and it's show runners. Alex, Jessica, and our ever special guest, Ben Goddard, discuss all the implications and impacts this choice may have!

Alex takes the time to explain the magic behind the Mirror of Galadriel, and Jess makes sure to bring her usual "perspective." Honestly, this episode is probably just a thinly vieled excuse for Alex to talk exclusively about Galadriel more.

Before Shelob hoped to make a meal of Sam and Frodo in Cirith Ungol, there came Ungoliant, an unknowable, evil creature that crept out from the darkness with insatiable hunger during the First Age and was persuaded to do Morgoth's bidding.
If any of these words are confusing to you, then you'll love this episode. Alex unpacks Ungoliant lore for Jessica who just cannot keep a single thing straight. So you're in good company.

Well, the deed is done. Alex, Ben, and Jessica have made their way through the Extended Cut versions of Peter Jackson's 'The Hobbit.' They reserve their thoughts about the trilogy as a whole for the next episode, and focus on the remaining half of 'Battle of the Five Armies.'
Though it's safe to say we have no idea what army constitutes one of the five, we sure know there was a lot of beheading.

The journey of Bilbo (sort of) continues as Ben, Alex, and Jess breakdown the second half of "The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug." If you take Benedict Cumberbatch's performance and combine it with the behind the scenes mocap, you got yourself a pretty darn great movie.

Special guest, Ben Goddard returns to continue our series on reviewing Peter Jackson's Hobbit Trilogy.

The recent passing of Jules Bass, co-creator of the animated movie, "The Hobbit, inspired Alex and Jessica to tackle this work first before diving into Peter Jackson's Hobbit trilogy, and the book itself. Jessica has never seen it and this movie was Alex's first introduction to Tolkien.
How does the animation hold up to both nostalgia and fresh eyes?

Alex and Jess reflect on episode 5 of Rings of Power, simultaneously the most "Tolkien" of the series so far, but also the LEAST "Tolkien" as well. We'll discuss that wild mithril legend and it's supposed impact on the elves, how Halbrand and Galadriel come to equal footing, Isildur having to suffer consequences, and HOW ON MIDDLE-EARTH HAVE BRONWYN AND ARONDIR STILL NOT KISSED!?!?

The Númenóreans have made their arrival in the Rings of Power series, and Alex is excited. As usual, Jessica is a little bit confused and still trying to get a grasp on some of the names. On a couple things Alex and Jessica can agree, Galadriel is making some really weird choices and Medhor deserved better.
