Chatting with Bear McCreary about his work on The Rings of Power, God of War, and more! We’ll talk about his work creating the themes for the show, connecting to The Lord of the Rings’ Third Age, and what’s in store for Season 2!

We chat with Gino Acevedo about his road to New Zealand, pranks with John Rhys-Davies, making the transition from practical to digital effects, and more!

We chat with Maxim Baldry about Isildur in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, including diving into the text, a more in-depth look at the dynamics in Númenor, and seeing Isildur as the hero he is in the books.

We chat with Wayne Yip about his directing work on episodes 3, 4, & 5 on The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.

Today, we chat with with Lloyd Owen about his character Elendil, the island realm of Númenor, and his deep dives into Tolkien’s more obscure writings to inform the Elendil we meet in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power!

The one and only John Rhys-Davies talks about his experience as Gimli and Sallah, his library, and reads a fan-favorite portion from the books - Gimli‘s description of the Glittering Caves.  This interview with the Lord of the Rings star was possible through the ”It‘s Time to Shout James” fundraiser.  To donate to a great cause, visit: http://tinyurl.com/47j9wfxr
