Episodes
In our final wrap-up episode of Season One, we don't hold back. We usually try to keep our episodes under an hour, but this is an unapologetic hour and a half as we discuss season finale wins and losses. Which moments made us cry the most? What cliffhangers did we wish had been not so cliffhanger-y? And WHAT did we think of the controversial Halbrand reveal? All this and more awaits in Episode 8. If you've been following ...
In this week's episode, we look deep into "The Eye." Join us as we discuss the traumatic aftermath of the creation of Mordor, give our thoughts on the Celeborn discourse, and proclaim our undying love for Cynthia Addai-Robinson's Miriel.
In this episode, we go deep into the spectacle of “Udûn.” Tune in to hear our takes on the climactic battle of the season, our favorite moments from Galadriel, Adar, Elendil, and Aronwyn, and why this episode nearly ended Wren’s life.
In this episode, we get a little emotional about "Partings." Join us as we discuss some epic soundtrack moments, the Isildur of it all, and the problem with Waldreg. Heads up: the audio quality for this episode is not ideal. We were still figuring out our Zoom audio set-up when recording this episode and Wren’s mic was not well calibrated. But don’t worry - by Episode 6, it gets much better!
BONUS EPISODE! For our very first special episode, we discuss recent casting announcements! Listen to the ep, then send us your new character hopes, dreams, and theories for Season 2—we’d love to hear from you!
In this week's episode, we meet "The Great Wave." Tune in as we discuss The Power of Disa, the “elf workers are taking our jobs” controversy, and our appreciation for this new interpretation of Middle Earth Orcs.
In this week's episode, we dig deep into "Adar." Join us as we discuss our favorite Númenórean moments, weep over Arondir, and explain why we think the Harfoots having a complex culture is good, actually.
Join our table as we discuss The Rings of Power Episode 2: "Adrift." In this week's episode, we fangirl over The Wyrm, chat about the culture of Khazad-dûm, and explain why we prefer our elves a little stupid.
In this introductory episode, we briefly introduce your hosts, Kat and Wren, explain our interest in The Rings of Power and the Tolkien fandom in general, and tell you what we're planning to do (and what we're NOT planning to do) on this podcast.
In our first full episode, we discuss the pilot of The Rings of Power, "A Shadow of the Past," including our favorite character moments, the Big Scenes, and why we think people whining about short-haired elves are boring.
