The Oscar nominations are out and Sinners dominated, Pluribus continues to confound and intrigue audiences, and we are… spending three episodes talking about movies that came out 25 years ago.
What can we say? The nerdery must flow. And the themes in the Lord of the Rings are RICH.
In honor of the LOTR trilogy’s re-release in theaters, we begin our series with a few rounds of “Will It Preach?” in which our magic wheel chose random scenes we had to wrestle some meaning out of. Tolkien being Tolkien, that wasn’t hard, but the conversation did take us in some unexpected places.
Watch this space for future episodes.
PS - Ed saw Fellowship in the theater tonight and it started with a rather off-the-cuff Peter Jackson commentary. I’m still trying to figure out what was on his t-shirt but I loved the fact that his cat-play-thing was just in the background.
And along with the folks I saw it with, a few members of the fellowship joined me…Frodo, Sam, Gandalf, and Boromir…
