    Part 8: The Stairs/the Sacrifice of Faramir

    Lord of the Rings Newsdump

    Manu (@ManuclearBomb) and Emily (@JRRTweetien) strip it down to the bare minimum to talk about the legions of news out of Middle-Earth recently. LEGO Barad-Dur, Rings of Power Season 2, and Gollum movies are back on the menu, plus we take some time to talk about some other things we've been watching!

    Part 6: The Beacons of Amon Din

    Manu (@ManuclearBomb) and Emily (@JRRTweetien) call for aid, and Rohan will answer! We soar through the White Mountains exploring one of the most majestic and viscerally satisfying scenes in the trilogy, the lighting of the beacons! But first, we dig into its real life inspiration, the Beacons of Theophilos of the Byzantine Empire, and why the Byzantines are great framework for thinking about the kingdom of Gondor!
