    Inheritance, Heirlooms, and the Men of Middle-Earth

    We're continuing our look at what gets handed down in Middle-Earth, moving from the short-folk to the big-folk! What are some of the things that get handed down by Men? Join us as we discuss power, household heirlooms, and inherited friendship.

    Inheritance, Heirlooms, and Hobbits

    We're starting a new season and a new series, looking at all things "handed down." How do heirlooms, heritage, inheritance (and the like) play into Tolkien's world (and specifically into his stories)? We start out this week looking at the Hobbits and all of the things Bilbo hands down to Frodo (his home, his ring, his adventuring gear, and also his 'Tookish' adventuring spirit).

    The Conspiracy Theory Episode

    Because we can't leave well-enough alone, we dive a little deeper into the alleged connection between Sauron and Bombadil (suggested by their poetic style). We speculate together and offer explanations that range from plausible to ridiculous. How would you explain the similarities?

    Tolkien's Collected Poetry: Selections from the Lord of the Rings

    With all of our hosts back together, we take one (final?) swing at the collection of Tolkien's poetry. This time we look at their selections from the Lord of the Rings. Which were our favorites? Do we think they did a good job choosing a representative collection? Also...why do Sauron and Bombadil write poetry the same way!?

    Tolkien's Collected Poetry: More Volume 3 with Jasmine

    Since Jasmine was out of town for last week's episde, we return to Volume 3 of Tolkien's collected poetry and talk about a few more of our first favorites. Tragedy written in bouncy couplets. A slow and terrifying dragon. And a purposely unfinished work by...Arwen?

    Tolkien's Collected Poetry: First Favorites from Volume 3

    Jon and Ron dive in and share some of their "first favorites" from the third volume of Tolkien's Collected Poetry. We talk nostalgia, Germanic sagas, and limmericks. (Basically, we're all over the place when Jasmine isn't here!)

    Aragorn and Arwen: A Valentine's Day Special

    We cracked open the box a bit last week talking about portrayals of Aragorn and Arwen's romance in the upcoming Hunt for Gollum. This week, our hosts go back to the source material to discuss their relationship, how it is portrayed in Jackson's films, and how it might be brought into the new film well.

    A Hunt for Answers: Rumors and Speculation about the 2027 Gollum Film

    We're just over a year away from more Tolkien on the big screen, with The Hunt for Gollum expected to hit theaters in late 2027. And, while there's not a lot of official news yet, there have been rumors floating around concerning who will (and won't) be returning to reprise some beloved characters. Join our hosts as we engage in one of our favorite passtimes: SPECULATION!
