i love lord of the rings. watching the movies for the first time* around the one year anniversary of my mom’s death helped me cope immensely, and I’ve made a habit of watching them every year since. im slowly working my way to the books, and am currently almost done with the hobbit.
manu and emily are so full of knowledge on LOTR it’s insane. every time i listen i find out something I didn’t know before, and i really love that. i don’t always agree with some of the takes (GANDALF FAN FOR LIFE), but it’s nice to revel in media i love with very intelligent hosts. keep up the good work!! :)
* - actually first watched the trilogy in full while staying with my uncle during hurricane rita (shoutout to my cousins with the dvd box set), but i did not remember much EXCEPT when shelob cocoons Frodo, so scary
