We’re back and looking at ALL the changes in Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings!  This week we head over to Orthanc and the changes made to Gandalf’s visit to Saruman:

  • Gandalf visiting Saruman isn’t just a flashback–and what about all those little changes made there?!
  • Saruman and Gandalf throw down in a Wizard duel for the ages — Michael and Jonathan seriously DISAGREE on this one!

Become a member at https://theonering.com/members or https://theonering.com/patreon to hear our thoughts on:

  • What would wizarding power look like if Jackson hadn’t made it so physical.
  • If Christopher Lee and Ian McKellen had switched roles, what would that have been like?
