Episode 68: 'The Rings of Power' Season 2 SPOILER Review

The Rings of Power Season 2 has concluded, and we have back on our friend Arezou to go through all the details of the riveting sophomore outing of this take on J.R.R. Tolkien's Legendarium. But on that note, just how canonically faithful is the series, or does it take too many deviations from the source material? Either way, we discuss and praise the performances, particularly Black Iranian icon Sophia Nomvete as Princess Disa, and analyze how the overall storytelling still stays true to its literary sources. We also discuss the terrible news coming out of Lebanon, highlight where you can help, give our recommendations, and much more.
