    The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)

    Forth Eorlingas! This week we toss Gimli face first into the forces of the Enemy. It’s another four hour tour of Middle Earth, and this time, we brought Ents. Is the middle film of a trilogy ever the best one? In this case, the jury's out, but one thing is for certain: it has the weirdest title of all three. Topics explored this week include: Legolas’s whole deal, the groundbreaking creation of Sméagol, Merry and Pippin blazin' it with Treebeard, Helm's Deep, Helm's Deep, and a LOT more Helm's Deep. Next week, we complete the holy trinity with RETURN OF THE KING (2003), and then we promise we’ll never talk about Rings again (just kidding, the Ring has corrupted us and there’s no turning back now).
